Shooting....

    On Friday I was able to go out to the range with a former US Marine! Ryan Stephens was a Marine for six yeas and in that time became an expert marksman. So going to shoot paper targets with this guy was kinda intimidating to say the least... :) But Ryan was a rad teacher and by the end of the day I was starting to get the hang of it... of course I had my camera with me...

Hearst Castle...

You're all probably getting quite sick of our amazing weekend but I have a couple more to show you....Hearst Castle was on our last day before we headed for home...






























It really is an amazing and beautiful place but I could not help after I left thinking back on it feeling kinda angry...it was built in one of the worst times in this nation’s history. World War two and the great depression came and past while it was under construction…and to see such wealth and time being spent on such lavish and unnecessary thing kinda makes you want to punch the person responsible in the face…
But it sure is beautiful to look at now…..


Elephant seals and I promise this weekend will be over :)
