I'll post just about any subject or whatever image comes through my viewfinder. I love photography, making videos for my vlog, and digital art. In between that, I play golf, mahjong and volunteer my talents at different events. Who knew, life could be good at this stage of my life.
This Sunday we went to the Tamale Festival in Indio, CA. The first place we went to was Grandma Lupe's. There was a long line just like all the previous years (the tamales are excellent). We decided not to stand in line for two and half hours, Instead we sampled a couple of other vendors. Of course, since I started being a vegan again, I only ate the vegetable ones which were pretty darn good. Music Title: Latin Travel pond5.com
The faux turkey (see above photo) made out of tofu is shaped like a bird and includes stuffing and gravy. It's amazing how much the texture resembled the white meat of a real turkey when sliced. Even the skin on the outside was crispy. If you're wondering if it tasted like the real deal... it doesn't, however it was still very good. That was so nice of my sister to do that! As always, we had a great time being with our family! Just want to thank Marie, Duane and Jacki, for all their hard work ...
We hiked the Coachella Valley Preserve again to explore another new trail. More friends joined us on this 7 mile trek that took us a little over three hours to complete. Watch the above video to view some of the most unique and unusual rock formations. The trails at the Preserve are endless!
Wishing everyone a "HAPPY THANKSGIVING!"
On December 28, 2009, we hiked the Carrizo Canyon Trail. We were hoping to see some big horn sheep that day. Unfortunately we didn't see any sightings of the sheep, however, we enjoyed the beautiful scenic atmosphere. Hope you enjoy the video.Music: Impact Andanteby Kevin MacLeod
While on vacation in Hawaiii, I went to the Waikiki Aquarium. It was walking distance from where we were staying. I saw some amazing coral and jellyfish. I also learned about the different fish species in Hawaii's ocean. Camera: Canon HD HV40 Mode: AutoEdit: iMovie 09
I compiled all the footage of the baby hummingbirds from the beginning to the time they left their nest. I added some pleasant background music to finish the project. I hope you like it.

Got this recipe from an e-mail that's been going around called "5 Minute Choclate Mug Cake." Wasn't sure if it was real so I gave it a try. Special thanks to the author of this recipe whoever you are.
The above video is a step by step on how to make simple gingerbread men cookies. I had so much fun making these little guys. It made the whole house smell like Christmas. Not only did the cookies looked great, they tasted good too! If I can make gingerbread men cookies, anyone can.Music by Kevin MacLeod
Went to the Tamale Festval on December 7, 2008. It was a cloudy and cool afternoon. Brought home a dozen frozen tamales to save for the holidays.
