Back to Reality!

Kathy & I returned home late Sunday after an amazing vacation to California, Alaska and back to a few days in Sonoma, CA to visit wine country.  This was our first time to California, second visit to Alaska, and of course – since we hadn’t been to California before – our first time to wine country.  What an experience!

A good time was had by all, the weather was relatively uneventful, with the usual cool weather in San Francisco, a little snow in Alaska, and gorgeous weather in wine country.

I ended up with just under 3000 photos, but with the 5D Mark III it turned out to be just shy of 100GB of data, so I am now pushing the limits of my storage capacity and am now in the market for a new set of hard drives!

I took the MacBook Pro along and did some captioning and keywording, and I even processed some photos, but I purposely decided to “stay on vacation” and not try to post stuff while I was away, since that tends to take me away from enjoying where I am while looking at where I’ve been.

So here are a few of my keepers from the first several days of the trip.  I plan to follow this with a little summary of the various parts of the journey over the next few days.  Stay tuned!

  1. Tom, welcome back and glad to hear it was all good. Beautiful first keeper photos…I’m looking forward to additional photos and the summary now. 🙂

  2. You’ll have fun going over the shots, Tom. This area of CA is one of the most photogenic in the US. I haven’t been there in many years. I have a friend in the Bay area, I should plan a visit.
