Linda and Gary in California, Part I
-
Linda is hard at work her first day out, mopping the whole house.
-
Linda works upstairs...
-
Gary and John construct a protective mesh for the newly planted apricot tree.
-
Almost ready to go with the apricot tree guard!
-
Meanwhile, Annikin keeps guard from her post on the porch.
-
We prost the evening meal!
-
Linda at the dinner table, waiting for me to quit taking pictures!
-
Gary at the dinner table, looking pensive yet smiling - and you can see that it's still plenty sunny out at 7 p.m.! Oh, for the light of summer! (Marianne
writes during the dark of late autumn...)
-
Taken from outside, this shot of the living room shows the porch's
beams as if inside, in reality reflected by the bright sun on
the glass.
-
The skeleton of what Linda named "The Whale" - the new house up the
road, still far from finished in December 2001!
-
A side shot of the whale.
-
A close-up view of the whale.
-
Gary walks through the summer meadows at Russian Ridge, an open space preserve about 45 minutes from Marianne's house.
-
Linda stands near a lone oak, at the Ridge.
-
A view over the meadows, with the characteristic oak tree at the side.
-
Linda and Gary at an oak tree.
-
Linda and Gary during lunch.
-
Gary and Linda in the meadow, surrounded by the beauty of the Ridge preserve.
-
The yellow and green and blue hues of the Ridge.
-
Four ridges, and meadows, one over another.
-
Marianne (frightfully fat in the foto) hugs the tree, of course!
-
Linda in profile on the Ridge.
-
Gary and Linda at the Half Moon Bay cafe where we ate fish, what else!
