Home to California, home to Tobin

Here I go, headed back to the dry state, to the Valley, orchards, and mountains.  After all the greenery and the city existence, the canyon is rocky, sere, and quiet.  It is restful.  The 96 degree days hardly raise a sweat, thanks to 10-30% humidity levels, and the 65 degree nights make for a good sleep with an open window.

The AirTrain ride

lift-off

leaving New York or New Jersey

coming into Atlanta ahead of the thunder storm

waiting on the tarmac while the lightning flashes, making it unsafe for workers to dock the plane for us to disembark

last light before I snoozed my way to Sacramento

western flora

view along the levee road, the Garden Highway

golden mowed "lawn" or highway verge

morning light across the field

a man mows his lawn along the river, with cool funky things in his yard

lovely dock

tilled field with soil I covet

golf course

orchard being irrigated

corn

tall building in Marysville

The Silver Dollar Saloon and Chinese Temple Gateway

old buildings in the Chinese section of Marysville, seen from the levee

looking towards the river and highway from the levee

church

it's a high fly ballllllll!!!!!  leaving Marysville

is this just about as opposite of New York City as you can get?!

climbing into the Sierras

Lake Oroville, for Jeffery to see

up over Jarbo Gap and then down into the canyon along the Feather River to home

Two of the three lovely peaches that awaited me, thanks to Uncle Grover's loving care
