San Diego Wildfire

South California is burning. Wild fires have forced almost half a million people to evacuate their homes, the largest in this country since the Civil war. Last night, we were all packed to leave at a moment's notice since the mandatory evacuation order was placed to an area just 2 miles north of our community.

Heady outburst

One more reason why Zidane 'rocks' - He's so good at head banging. :) [Pun intended, of course.]

Angel's Landing video

Just a glimpse for now. :)

Bryce Canyon

Have been to Zion and Bryce Canyon national parks in South-western Utah this memorial week-end. Some photos from Bryce here.
