The moon that was. #cajonpasscommute #traversinglines
This sight greeted me after getting off the @metrolink train last night : Caramel swirl clouds inspired by @twix Oh and new slurry road surface in the parking lot! I invest $30 here every month and have been parking here for about six years now. #whateverweimaginecloudstobe #mybeerandskittles
Route 66: The Mother Road. Who wants to take a trip down memory lane? Now, wouldn’t that be nicer than getting stuck in this slowww traffic? Don’t forget me when you make that California trip Get your kicks on route 66! #cajonpasscommute #traversinglines #route66ca #getyourkicksonroute66
This photo was taken this morning. I love it! It’s like an eye opening welcoming the morning. Very different weather conditions here from down the hill - look at my post previously. #whateverweimaginecloudstobe #cajonpasscommute #traversinglines #highdesertdistricts
Protected by a wall of mist holding oh so steadily Ran my fingers through it as if strumming a guitar Chancing a peek into the other side Feeling only a music as it chimes a tune Tapping my foot, steadying my gaze As I twirled and twirled and twirled into the great divide. *Inspired by the foggy, low visibility conditions this morning*
Happy Friday! #traversinglines #cajonpasscommute #mybeerandskittles
Their tummies are hungry. Their skin is fuzzy. The mother is fussy and jumpy. But most of all, my golly, they are lovely! Every morning we’ve been checking up on them. Left really ripe banana peels close by so it will attract fruit flies and Mum has something to feed these two. *Photo taken March 20th.* #hummingbird #babyhummingbirds #highdesertdistricts #mybeerandskittles
A couple of weeks ago, my daughter found an empty nest (or so we thought) in one of our pine trees. Last Sunday, she was eager to go out into the back garden when the sun was out. A bit windy, though, but the sun was warm. I had forgotten about the nest, she hadn’t. She went to the tree and came back inside the house squealing around, “We have eggs! Two eggs! Our hummingbirds got eggs! We got baby hummingbirds Mummy get your camera!” #babyhummingbirds #hummingbirdeggs #mybeerandskittles
It’s Pancake Day today! I know the photo does not invoke any pancake cravings but it was here that I craved them hahaha! #pancakeday #cajonpasscommute #traversinglines #mybeerandskittles
Snow and slow was my commute all about this morning. It was lovely because I gave myself plenty of time to enjoy this snow today. #shotoniphone #cajonpasscommute #cajonpass #highdesertdistricts #traversinglines #mybeerandskittles
Another one.
Now arriving Union Station. #shotoniphone7plus #shotoniphone #traversinglines
Snow fell. Glad for the snow plow trucks. They’ve been working since last night to keep Cajon Pass open. #highdesertdistricts #cajonpasscommute #sunriseoncajonpass #traversinglines #mybeerandskittles #shotoniphone7plus #shotoniphone
Photo taken aboard the Metrolink SB train. After a few days of rain, this dam is already almost full. #traversinglines #mybeerandskittles #shotoniphone7plus #shotoniphone
Tuesday morning drive. Clearer. But the train was delayed. #cajonpasscommute #traversinglines #mybeerandskittles #shotoniphone7plus #shotoniphone
Monday morning drive. Uh-oh it was a treacherous one! #cajonpasscommute #traversinglines #mybeerandskittles #shotoniphone7plus #shotoniphone
Pic taken Sunday. Even in the dreariest places you could think of, a rainbow still shows itself once in a while. #highdesertdistricts #mybeerandskittles #traversinglines #shotoniphone7plus #shotoniphone
This blimp is unusually early. It’s the Carnival #choosefun ! #highdesertdistricts #sunriseoncajonpass #traversinglines #shotoniphone Pic taken on iPhone7Plus
Good Monday morning! We’re back on the Cajon Pass today. Traffic was flowing today. #sunriseoncajonpass #traversinglines #mybeerandskittles #shotoniphone Pic taken on iPhone7 Plus
