Slow Fishing
A few weeks ago I took BabyGirl up to Lake Isabella for a Father/Daughter Camping and Fishing weekend with some friends from school. We camped along the shores of the Kern River and participated in the annual Lake Isabella Fishing Derby. Despite our best efforts, the fish just weren’t biting in our little corner of the lake. Although BabyGirl did get one fish almost ashore before it shook free. The only good part of a slow fishing day is that there’s plenty of time to shoot photos!

Photo Gallery: San Clemente Military Family Outreach Variety Show 2010
Once again this year I had the privilege of photographing the San Clemente Military Family Outreach Benefit. SCMFO is a local charity that provides support for military families (primarily Marines from Camp Pendleton). The Variety Show this year featured music and comedy and the proceeds went toward the purchase of 1200 Thanksgiving turkeys.
Back to Church Sunday at St. Andrew’s
St. Andrew’s by-the-Sea UMC here in San Clemente held its annual Back-to-Church Sunday featuring a Carnival and BBQ catered by Bad to the Bone BBQ. Here are some pictures from the event.
Happy Birthday BabyGirl!
BabyGirl celebrated her birthday at the beach. It was too breezy to light the candles, but we went through with the singing and “blowing out the candles” anyway. Thanks to all the friends and family who made it a fantastic party!
Photo Gallery: St. Andrew’s Country Fair 2010
On Sunday, June 6, 2010, the people of St. Andrew’s by the Sea United Methodist Church celebrated all the “Yea God!” moments of the past year with an old-time Country Fair. There were games for the kids and adults, a baking contest, and food from Bad to the Bone BBQ in San Juan.

NORAD Tracks Santa 2006
Let the high-tech Christmas fun begin! Nice to see our military has a sense of humor. You can really WOW the kids and grandkids by logging on to NORAD’s website devoted to the “live” satellite and ground-based RADAR tracking of Santa’s sleigh as it speeds through the stratosphere to the homes of good little boys and girls.
This also makes a great tool for getting little ones to go to bed. If they see that Santa is entering their airspace, they know that they have to get off to sleep or else the jolly fat man might skip their house this year.
