"I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day,

a fresh try, one more start,

with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning."

J.B. Priestley

Ok...time for me to reveal a bit of me...

I'm hooked on TheVoice!!!

Yep...If I can't see it at the regular time...no worries...I've "tivo'd" it!!!

Did you happen to watch last night???

I mean...really!!!

How's a person supposed to pick between the five semi-finalists???

They are awesome!!!

At this point...it really doesn't matter who is going to win the competition....

They're all phenomenal...

and I'm sure they're all on their way to great musical careers!!!

What might you ask does this have to do with my post...

perhaps it's that "magic waiting behind the morning."

A Bit of Georgia Beauty...

"I decided that if I could paint that flower in a huge scale, 

you could not ignore its beauty."

Church Bells Ring...

"Simplicity in character, in manners, in style;

in all things the supreme excellence is simplicity."

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

This little church is in Lee Vining CA...

Tucked away off the beaten path...

charming in its simplicity...

Making New Friends...

"Strangers are just friends waiting to happen."

Rod McKuen

Remember I told you all about the visitors from India through the 

Group Study Exchange program for Rotary?

Our house guest, Raju, gave us this lovely carved elephant

at the end of his stay...

A sweet reminder of a lovely time meeting a new friend!!!

Blue Skies...

I guess Mammoth Lakes doesn't have a monopoly on crystal clear, blue skies...

Blue sky over Tecate, Mexico...yep...the Corazon build!!!

When I picked the photo...I immediately thought of Blue Skies....

Confession is Good for the Soul...(or so they tell me...)

"Even when a bird walks, one feels it has wings."

Antoine-Marin Lemierre

Ok...I cheated...

This gal is not from the Eastern Sierras...

(at least, I think she's a gal!)

She's from the Central Coast...Moro Bay to be exact!!!

And no...I don't really know what kind of bird she is...

But I like the shot...and I didn't really have any new Eastern Sierra shots for today...

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

On Friday we headed out of town to Carson City, Nevada...

Occasion???

We had to have the little Red Snow Mobile serviced and just happened to have

a gift certificate to stay one night in our favorite cheesy casino...

a two room King suite no less!!!

After a wild night...

ending with gastro intestinal upset from something we ate...
(yeah...straight back to the room...with tummies gurgling...some wild night!)

and after the car was tuned to perfection and washed to near perfection...

we headed home...

Just in time for lunch, 

we reached Walker Canyon, about half way home...

we'd never stopped at Walker's Burgers before...

and Saturday seemed like the perfect time to do it!!!

 Who knew it was a little oasis off the side of the road???

(No...that's not TheChief and I!)

Just a random couple, enjoying this little piece of heaven!!!

Mild temperatures with a slight breeze...

good burgers...onion rings and fries...

a couple of sodas...

and all with this beautiful setting!!!

If you ever find yourself in Walker, California...

at lunch time...

from about May til about October...

Stop in and visit Walker Burgers!!!

You'll be glad you did!!!

To have enjoyed the sun,

To have lived light in the spring,

To have loved,

To have thought,

To have done."
