Lifetime Achievement Award for Artie

On Monday, 1/25/09, Artie received  the 2009 Lifetime Achievement from The Heritage Preservation League of Folsom for all her work over the years to support the history of the city. We took her to the general meeting of the League where they presented the awards to Artie and several others who had worked for preservation of Folsom history.

It was amazing to see the fuss people made over her. She is loved by many people.

The Four Seasons in Stained Glass

When we were in Chicago last year, we went out on Navy Pier and they had a display of stained glass windows that were taken out of some of the old buildings/mansions that were torn down. Although the colors were fantastic, I cropped my photos and turned them into black/white for submitting to a SV Photo Club competition.

Carribean Sea Birds

With the exception of the Pelicans, these sea birds followed the ship constantly and were so graceful that you could watch them all day.  I'm not sure what kind they were, so need some help.  Click on the photo for a closer look.
