Pictures from Northern California

From my trip with Kathy to the Mendocino area over Christmas, December 24-29, 2005. You can click on each photo for a far more detailed view.... Featuring (in order) the Pacific coast, a creeping flower on the shore, three shots from among the Redwoods, Kathy in the rented convertible, the coast again from a Mendocino street, driftwood with spindrift (seafoam), MacCallum House from the front, Kathy and I at a beach, and the 350 foot tall Founder's Tree in Humboldt Redwoods State Park (lowest branches are well over 200 feet from the tree's base). The days went by far too quickly.... We had Christmas dinner at the Grey Whale Restaurant in MacCallum House, walked on the beaches, drove to the Redwoods, stayed at the Bug's Ear cottage (part of MacCallum House) and had a terrific time. As I said: it went far too quickly...we haven't shaken off the effects yet...
