Trader Vic's was a fun time today in Emeryville. Great time, fun gifts to buy and music.
You know the song.... All together now All I want to be......
Tahoe City was nice today checking out the place and doing some walking around
Sunsets can be fun to see when the sky is red and looking like the sun making them look like this.
going through some of my older photos and saw this one, Taken for a Mavic 2 Zoom drone about 250 feet.
I'm working in my shed listing to some Hawaiian music and this song came on and the video on YouTube is so nice.

I just got the call form my brother's Wife Patty that on the 12th my brother Curtis Smith has passed away.
My brother was a photographer and got me into photography back when I was about 7 or 8 years old. I really looked up to him when I was a lad. Yes we had our difference but, he is still my brother.
Back in the 80's, there was a program called "Case Closed" and I contacted them in trying to find my brother. At that time my Mom was going to be having brain surgery and I thought maybe, just maybe this program can find Curtis Smith.
Here is the story from the program, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlR8fb7TD5s&t=91s
This was one of the best Christmas gifts I could have given my Mom.
Curtis is now with Mom and the rest of the family and I'm sad that he has passed but, I'm happy he is no longer in pain.
So for my big brother, Curt, I will miss you and love you.
You take care of Mom and I will be seeing you all someday.
From your little brother Bill.

Have you ever gone into an older cemetery? This one is outside of Oakland, in Piedmont, CA.
The buildings they did for the dearly departed in the days. This is the ones that had the money to do this some dates to the 1800's This is also the resting place for Trader Vick's
I was the Talk of the Town for my business Photo For Any Occasion.
I have been in photography for over 45 years. Doing all kinds of photography and people ask me what is my favorite part of being a photographer, I say that I love it all. Weddings are fun getting the moments of the looks of all. Some photographers don’t like doing weddings as I do. I get in the editing process and see everything of the event.
Portraits and headshots are fun too, as an on location photographer, I come to you and can go to parks or even your house to photograph you.
Doing pets and wildlife are fun to do.
Our pets are part of the family and should be in the portraits too.
So, are you having an event or just needing a family portraits, call me to schedule your date.

Santa Cruz on Saturday was nice with a lot of people here.
Did you know on Friday night movies on the beach. Will have to come sometime.
Out of all the years going to Santa Cruz, I have never seen something like this. It's new game that is here. The name of the game is Bocce Ball. I have never played the game before but looks like it could be fun.
Another thing is a new place for a drink and eat Humble Sea. Very nice area for a new beer or something to eat. Across the way is a place for Dads called Dad's Daycare. I have to get a shot of that and Cheryl said that I should have just brought you here and left you for later, LOL.
It was a nice Day to have Father's Day in Santa Cruz and having it with Cheryl, Susie and her boyfriend John.
When you call in a noise complaint and the cops show up. It doesn’t go as the complaint goes.

Cheryl and I took a walk at the Baylands in Mountain View on Friday and it was a nice day for a walk and seeing so many birds.
October 12th will be the 26th anniversary for John Denver and trying to get people interested in coming to take part of a train ride at Roaring Camp in Felton. I would like to get 25 people or more to come, I can get a group rate and afterwards do over to a restaurant and the drive to the John Denver Beach for a beach cleanup and have a sing along and then have the moment of silence to end the day.
I will do a group photo at the train ride and at the John Denver Beach.
So if you would be coming and let me know and after getting 25 people say that they’re coming, I’ll get the information out to buy your tickets on the ground rate.
So let’s have a good turnout and to remember John and his music.
Please let me know if you would like to do this.
Coming back from Killeen TX I stoped in Slaton TX where my Uncle Bill lived this building was where he lived and had a pawn store and the things he had in there and I'm talking back in 1978-79 The things I know now if I knew then, WOW!!! Here has some old item that are worth thousands in this time. I could have had in my position a # 1 seller of Marilyn Monroe Pl***oy magazine and not talking about a copy, but the first addition with her in it. He had every book from day one.
The train there was there when I was there and loves the streets made of brick.
Visiting the town so may building were gone to nothing in them, so sad to see. Id did bring back some good and bad memories when I was there.
I did find my Uncle Bill's resting place and of all the places was 130 miles away from where he lived in Slaton TX in Merkel TX. I don't understand why with there was a cemetery just outside of Slaton.
Uncle Bill was in the service and this location was not for Vet's and this place was to be taken care of family members. When I got at the place, I couldn't find his spot and there was 2 people there that was taking card of a family member that had past a few days ago watering the grass to try to get it green and they helped me find it.
The w**ds and grass was almost coving the grave marker and they were appalled seeing that and they had a w**d eater and cut the w**ds and grass off the marker and there was another one next to Uncle Bill's spot and saw another one that had my Uncle's last name was the same.
I had an Uncle Roy and had put a call in to see if he was related to my uncle. I didn't get a call back so I'll have to call back this next week and talk to them again to see.
In the photos below are the folks that cleaned the plots and was very grateful of their service helping me and was not expecting them to clean them for me. They told me there names but to the life of me, I can't remember there names but, I did give them my card and hopping they are following me here and get back to me.
So I'll post more of the photos from my trip.
Thanks for stopping by.
Peace my friends.

Now to get in the winning put in Brooklyn is the work of the hour. Get in now.
Enter to win an unforgettable trip of my choice!
During the eclipse in Killeen TX I took lots of photos of it and very rarely I post oopsie photos but this one was interesting and thought I would share it.
One of my first stops was in Barstow, CA and had to check on this place https://wbyoung.smugmug.com/Travel/Best-of-my-Travels/Bartsow
It's as interesting as I thought I would have seen. The photos don't do Justus by seeing it in person but still the area is very cool to see. It's about 30 minutes out of Barstow but was worth it.
Working on my website and adding some photos from my travel and have 2 up and going.

Here is a fun place a visited on my way back home.
I have added photos from my trip and here is one on them from the Petrified Forest National Park Painted Desert.
Almost reminds me of the Painted Hills in Oregon.
Check it out, www.photoforanyoccasion.com
I will be adding more as I can from my travels to and from Texas.
Working on my eclipse photos and found this one and it's a bad one, but in some ways it's interesting one. I thought I would share with you.
It's one of the oopsie photos.

Love it when I do a photoshoot in the morning and then asked to do a a birthday party that afternoon was so fun. This was at an Italian Restaurant Caffe Riace in Palo Alto. Had to get a shot of the restaurant's fountain. So Cool and so interesting. #cafferiace #italianrestaurant #photoforanyoccasion
This morning more orbs just as Cheryl was leaving for work. This is recorded live at the time. No speeding up the film. I wish I knew who it is.
