San Francisco Giants vs the San Diego Padres game last weekend at AT&T Park, San Francisco, California.

We are on a bit of a working vacation right now as we visit some long time friends in the Bay area and Lake Tahoe.  Nine months ago when our friends picked up tickets to this game – we had no idea how big it would be with the playoffs on the line.  The atmosphere was electric!  Much more like a college basketball game then a baseball game!

Thanks entirely to our wonderful friends, we had some of the best seats in the house.  I had to briefly pull myself away from the great seats and the action to climb to the top of the stadium for a few photos.  From this vantage point you get a better feel for the ocean side setting for this baseball stadium.  This is the middle photo of 3 that may one day be part of a panoramic.

Wildflowers in the Pioneertown Mountain Preserve, Mojave Desert, California.

I was disappointed when this beautiful area burned a few years ago, but was pleasantly surprised to find this wash with bright red wildflowers – especially this late in the year!  Given the reason we were in Pioneertown this week, seeing the drastic difference between life and death wasn’t lost on me.  Truthfully, everyday is a gift!
