Several years ago we were wine tasting in Sonoma County some good friends. One winery, I can’t remember which one, had all these classic cars parked out front for a small car show. One of them was a red 1965 Mustang Fastback.

A few months ago we started watching the TV series Lost. We never watched it when it was on TV, we usually prefer to watch shows once they are available on DVD or Netflix, that way we can enjoy them without the commercials and frequently in bursts several episodes at a time. Last night we finally finished the last season of Lost.

A few months ago I picked up a Bonsai-Tuscan Miniature Olive Tree from wine.woot.com. At first I had it in the house but it quickly started dropping leaves, so then I put it outside in our backyard and it seems to have stabilized and is doing much better.

Somehow I missed this image in my export from Lightroom from earlier in the week. This morning when walking our cat Jäger around our backyard garden, I was looking at this blossom and I realized that I didn’t include it in the desktop posts for February.

I love this time of year in the garden, especially the succulents. They are blooming with rich vibrant colors and uniquely complex textures and patterns that provide wonderful depth to our backyard garden.

This week I took a handful of great photos that I’m going to be posting here over the next week.

Recently I picked up a copy of Adobe Lightroom to use for color correcting and adjusting my photographs. I played around with a few older photos, one of them being the Google Android Bots Couple from a series of Google Android Bots I posted back in October of 2011.

On the morning of the 2011 Santa Barbara Marathon I had noticed from our hotel room that it was going to be a beautiful sunrise. It had rained in the night and there were clouds breaking away to blue skies as the sun was rising.

I was delightfully surprised by the quality of this photo I took on my Nexus One phone of an AmByth Estate 2010 Rosé, so I decided to post a wallpaper version to use for your desktop, iPad, or iPhone. Yup, I do not use an iPhone, yet I make my wallpapers available for iPhone, but they will work for any phone. The iPhone tends to have the higher resolution than most phones and thus that is the format I provide for mobile phones.
