Gonzales Drift

Armful of Dolls


It is time, once again, for me to include a Hitty, or eleven, on these pages. I noticed this picture as I was looking through some older files and remembered that I hoped to use it sometime. Hittys are a large (well, small-large) part of my surroundings and I am often found taking their pictures, but usually for my spouse’s blog called Quimper Hittys (she usually does the photography, but sometimes wants something a bit different than can be managed with her point and shoot). I have previously posted about the Hittys, with a bit of an indication of their role in the household.

Gonzales Erratic

This glacial erratic sits in the middle of Gonzales Bay, sometimes exposed at low tide like it was yesterday after sunset when I passed by on a walk. For more pictures of this erratic see an earlier post Gonzales Clouds taken with a much more interesting sky that I had to work with last night – that other post also has a bit of background about Gonzales Bay and it surrounds. In this picture I am of two minds about how the line of house disappears into the rock and the line of clouds and mountains emerges on the other side, I kind of like it, but find it distracting too.
