A Short Trip to See the Elephant Seals Near San Simeon
There’s nothing like a trip to the coast to see the elephant seals and watch the beach sunset to revive one’s spirit.

Finally we drove south again to capture the elephant seals with my cameras.
Just Sweet at Studios on the Park
Come along and share my experiences at the opening reception of the Studios on the Park “Just Sweet” Exhibition on Friday night, February 5, 2011. I saw great paintings and other works of art, learned about encaustic painting and photography from Heidi Franscioni, talked with Sally Tippman and other artists, and got videos so that you can hear those conversations and see some of the paintings. You can also hear the Love Notes sing.
