This is my entry for the Weekly Challenge: Together.
The noodle is from our dinner of beef burgundy. I used a recipe from Lynn Alley’s “The Gourmet Slow Cooker.” The kitchen smelled amazing as the beef, red wine and herbs simmer away.

I taught a journalism class at St. Petersburg State University a couple of years ago. I had a blast and I would love to go back. I posted more photos and observations on my travel photo blog: eurotrip.queenkv.org.

Photo Friday: Crimson
Posted in photo friday on 04/20/2012 02:05 pm by QueenkvFeels like summer in Fremont. 83 Degrees.
Our rose garden is thriving the East Bay.
This is my entry for today’s Photo Friday challenge: Crimson.
These yellow buds have hints of crimson.
And in the background, my curious Daisy, sniffing out the blossoms and picking up thorns.
Squishy Face, Bony Elbows
Posted in cali_lovin on 04/17/2012 04:30 am by QueenkvA disturbing buzz drowns out the Sigur Ros channel on Pandora.
My hubby closes the dog door. I pour another cup of coffee and turn up the volume on moody guitar strings and Icelandic vocals.
My Saturday morning habits do not fool Daisy. She jumps up on the couch with enough force to push it against the window. She pokes her head out the blinds, bending back flimsy plastic strips. She spots the gardeners invading her home. She barks off an alarm to her pack.
I drag her back to the couch for more cuddles. She calms down with her dirty, chewed-up Binky. Daisy nibbled off the blue furry day a few weeks ago. Mark says we have a couple of new Binkys, on stand-by in the garage.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Two Subjects
Posted in cali_lovin, Weekly Photo Challenge on 04/16/2012 06:29 am by QueenkvI miss beach weather!
I got lucky on this shot from Half Moon Bay. The photo has two kids playing by the surf. In the foreground, you can also see yellow and green paint buckets left behind in the sand.
So, I figured this photo works for today’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Two Subjects.

Coming Soon
Posted in cali_lovin on 04/11/2012 01:30 am by QueenkvI spotted a film crew shooting along Battery in San Francisco, next to Jackson Square.
Officers blocked off traffic as the crew shot a flat contraption, with four wheels, roll down the street.
I bet they’ll do some CG magic over the wheels. Maybe we’ll see a fancy, future car tearing through SF Financial District. Or a fancy Hollywood star flying past the dark red brick building on Battery. I wonder if I’ll recognize the scene when it makes it on TV or the silver screen.
