take a watercolor class at the Art Center. We stayed in the VW Westfalia at Cleone Campground for two nights and returned home Sunday evening. While Jaunita was in class I hiked the trails of two State Parks, Van Damme, and Russian Gulch, taking photos. It seemed to be the peak weekend for wildflowers and especially the wild rhododendrons. I also drove to the end of Road 409 and to one of our favorite places; Road 5000 near Mendocino where I hiked to the headlands and under the Russian Gulch bridge. I haven't identified all the flowers. Some of the photos were taken with a new, higher resolution camera, (a Sony FD-90) including the photo attached here. I discovered that at the higher resolution, I only get 6 photos to a floppy disc. So for many I resorted to the lower resolution setting, which gives about 30 photos to the disc. This camera also is capable of a 5 second shot in MPEG, which is video and sound! I'll include one of those in this little travelogue and you can hear the waves washing on the sand! Tom |
