Something amiss ...

Beautiful sunset of the valley near Julian; but something is amiss here ...

January Frost

Credit to the photographer. A rare January frost near Julian.

Icy?

I wonder if the sign means ICY road or ICY tree?

Home of the Chargers

I think i can work and retire in this city! Mild temperatures all year round, wonderful seafood, great steaks, lovely oceans and beaches. Home for Shamu ... I love it.

Corridor of Trees

New Canaan too. This is a road that leads to a quiet enclave of bungalow houses. But then again, all the houses here are bungalow houses. No condominiums. This road is next to the little inn I stayed in New Canaan.

New Canaan in technicolour

One chilly January afternoon in New Canaan. Temperature then was around 10 degrees Celsius. New Canaan is a small and beautiful upper middle-class town in Connecticut.
