Lassen Vocanic National Park; Summer 2009 : Lassen Volcanic National Park; Summer 2009.  A collection of visits (hopefully)…  June 20, 2009; first day of summer, the extreme weather being reported across the country is hitting us too.  We start out under hazy sunshine and end the journey with thunderstorms and a lot of rain.  By the time we got to Lassen Park the thunderheads were building and we had very spotty sunshine.  It cleared for awhile during our walk around Summit Lake as you can see here.  At Manzanita Lake it started out dark and foreboding and continued to get worse until the rain headed us home.  Sunset was limited to an occasional glimpse of the white thunderheads towering in the distance.  Driving through the summit area had the feel and look of winter, snow and low clouds all around us; even on this first day of summer.  I hope you enjoy the tour…

Cambria Days : Cambria days for us were always lazy days, unscripted and spontaneous, although they followed a certain pattern.  First would be some snack food and a breather after the drive, then perhaps a walk around town, followed by a real meal, a walk on the beach to dip your toes in the icy water, study the textures and patterns of nature, then a stroll up and down the residential streets to admire the quirky and charming architecture and the corresponding xeriscaping that sets it off so aptly.  Sometimes a brief drive up to San Simeon - but never to visit the gaudy and ostentatious Hearst Castle.  No, but maybe a hike along the beach, or up the bluff by the pier.

These photos, and others in the Cambria series, are an attempt to capture that impromptu nature of the Cambria days - days when all you really need is to get away from the rat race long enough to catch your breath.
