Our Little Corner of the World...is changing!!!

For this week's Little Corner of the World...

please visit...

A Photographic Journey...

...or...

Adventures of a SoCal Gal!!!

I'm playing around trying to decide what my next blog incarnation will be...

No longer in Mammoth Lakes so Mammoth Lakes Daily Photo just doesn't work!!!

Hope to see you there!!!

(just click on the blog title and you're there!!!)

Our Little Corner of the World...Retro!!!

There might not be a lot of snow in Mammoth...

but they've still got plenty enough to ride this to the top!!!

A Retro Kind of Day...

I've been cruising through my photos for a class I'm taking...

I found this little guy in my Mammoth snow photos!!!

He used to hang out on our deck...

didn't even mind when it was snowing!!!

Our little corner of the world...revisited!!!

 

It's time to start getting the blogging juices flowing again!!!

But I'm not ready to head out and start taking pics just yet...

(Well...I am hanging out with the Tri Community location shooters...

well...at least once...

but not quite ready to start posting anything new!!!)

At any rate...

Here's the deal!!!

 

I've decided to post a pic or two of my favorites

from my Mammoth adventure...

some will be familiar, some not...

I'm thinking maybe once or twice a week...

are you with me???

I took this one with my Nikon d70s...

I was fascinated by the contrails...

I could hardly believe there were so many up over the mountains!!!

This was the weekend of TheChief's interview...

the interview was in May...it snowed while we were there!!!

(I wore flip flops all day today...on Feb 3!!!)

Gotta love SoCal!!!

2014...This is the End!!!

It's New Year's Eve...

...the end of a grand year....and the end of our "Grand Adventure" in 

Mammoth Lakes, CA.

Yesterday was TheChief's last day as Chief of Mammoth Lakes...

 in a week we celebrate his time as Chief with members of his department,

the town, friends, and family...

...and then, we will make our final move south.

It truly has been a "Grand Adventure"!

 The Town of Mammoth Lakes is indeed, a very special place....

and will always have a very special place in our hearts.

We love you Mammoth Lakes and will miss you greatly!!!

(Oh...and by the way...TheChief will still be TheChief,

and I will still be TheChieftess...

some things don't have to change!!!)

Hope you all have a beautiful and Happy New Year!!!

PS...

TheChief was especially good to me this year on my birthday...

he heard my complaints about how heavy my big Nikon was while traveling...

  and couldn't miss my hints of what I wanted...

so today's photo is the first posting of a pic taken with my new

Fuji XT1, with 18-135mm interchangeable lens!!!

It's mirrorless, and feels feather weight compared to my giant Nikon!!!

I haven't quite figured it out yet...but I'm working on it!!!

  

Here are a couple more pics...

So what do you think???

It's Not Long Now...

Mammoth Lakes Mayor Jo Bacon presented 'TheChief'

...aka...Mammoth Lakes Police Chief, Dan Watson...

with a commemorative plaque for his 4 1/2 years of service to Mammoth Lakes...

On December 30th, TheChief will turn over the reins to Chief Al Davis,

formerly a Commander in the Ventura Police Department.

...and on to a new chapter in life!!!

(That's Councilman Shields Richardson in the background 

giving TheChief the thumbs up!!!)

Guess What We Did Last Month???

Getting Connected Again!!!

Just a little post to show y'all 

that I'm finally getting my computer and Lightroom

back on track!!!

Still on hiatus while getting settled...

still visiting Mammoth upon occasion...

although TheChief's been coming down to Glendale more often...

I'll check back in every now and then until I'm ready to rock 'n roll again...

Have a good weekend!!!

Reflections in Beauty...

I admit it...

...these reflections aren't exactly what James is looking for in Weekend Reflections...

But a little light reflecting off the mountains...

...and light reflecting off the water count don't they???

Gotta go back to Glendale and get that gnarly painting started on the house...

See you later!!!
