Rancho San Clemente Ridgeline Trail

While visiting family in San Clemente we did a short hike at Rancho San Clemente Ridgeline Trail. The trail has views of the coastline from Dana Point to San Diego County beaches. It was an easy hike, mostly asphalt trails with some steep grades.

Granddaughter, Kate tried to take Pretty (her dog) up the hill, but Pretty was pretty much pooped out, LOL! Watch the above video.

Hummingbirds on Feeder

Summer is here and temperatures are climbing well over 100 degrees. I have to clean the feeders more often because of the algae that might grow in it. Watch the above video and you will see one hummingbird extracting fluid from the feeder and putting it down on his feet. That's how hot the surface is! I want to take all the feeders down but don't have the heart to take it away from those cute little birds!

Memorial Day - Flower Drop

The above video was taken at the Palm Springs Air Museum a couple of years ago on Memorial Day. A vintage B-25 Mitchell Bomber dropped 3,000 red and white carnations from the sky in memory of the veterans who gave their lives to protect our freedom.

When my dad was alive he would visit the Palm Springs Air Museum often. He loved looking at all the aircrafts, especially the P-51 Mustang. During WWII he was one of the crew chiefs for the P-51.

In memory of my father we dedicated his name on the Walk of Honor at the Palm Springs Air Museum.
