Websailor's Picture Gallery

Here are my photos of National and California State Parks, the outdoors, and Cruise pictures. Page 2 has flowers, animals, ships, other trips, and all sort of other photos.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I did when I was taking them. Obviously there are some things I am better at photographing - the great outdoors, flowers, ships.... Sadly I'm not so good at taking people pictures so there aren't as many of those. If you do enjoy any particular picture, you can leave a comment.

This page took a long time to load, so I left the Cruises and National & State Parks picture sets here, and moved everything else to a second page.

I decided to try to put a small set (only 100 photographs) of my favorite pictures together and write about why I like these particular pictures. Sometimes it will be because of the photgraphic elements, sometimes, it is for personal meanings/reasons. As of February 2007, it is under construction, but if you would like to check it out, here it is - My Favorite Photographs.

Please tell me what you like, don't like, YOUR favorite photo, etc. Click to sign or view the guestbook! You can even leave a private message!

California State Parks

The State Parks in California are beautiful too and there are so many of them relatively close by. It makes them easy to visit. Plus they have hot water for showers and hand washing!

Regional Parks

The East Bay Region in California has some wonderful parks, on a par with State Parks. Since they are local, they get a lot of use, including by us.

I created a different format for the Tahiti & Marquesas 2007 web page - it is sorted by island, so it is easier for some people.
The cruise lines are now putting web cams on their ships so you can see where they are. I built a page to show all the Princess Lines Cruiseship's web cams - Princess Ship Web Cams
You might even catch a wedding in progress!!!

   WWII Airplanes, Memorial Day, June 2009 June 7th, 2009

Once Again several WWII airplanes came to Buchanan Airport for Memorial Day (technically that was a few days ago - they were in Livermore then), and they flew over our home. They were a B-19 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator (bombers) and a P-51 Mustang (fighter).

I put them in the folder with all the other airplane pictures.

   Flowers around our home, May 2009 June 7th, 2009

I wandered around our home the other day taking a few pictures of flowers.

   Clouds, Rainbows and the Moon, May 2009 June 7th, 2009

We have had some weird weather lately - it's hot for a while, then cold almost like winter. On this day we had bright blue sky and sunshine on half of the sky and towering thunder clouds on the other half. I got some neat pictures of the clouds, a rainbow, and the moon, all while standing in the sun!

   Mexican Riviera Cruise, April 2009 May 10th, 2009

We just got back from a Mexican Riviere Cruise - it was the last Princess Cruise to actually go to the Mexican ports before the big Swine Flu warning came out. As always, it was a lot of fun with some neat sailing adventures.

   Mt Diablo Drive to Summit, April 2009 April 4th, 2009

It was a beautiful spring day, the wild flowers were out so we took a little drive to the top of Mt Diablo. The views were great - we could see San Francisco Bay and the City of San Francisco!

   Yosemite National Park, March 2009 March 8th, 2009

For my birthday, we spent some time in Yosemite National Park. We got the whole gamut of weather - rain, snow, clouds, and sunshine. We got to Yosemite in between storms - no chains required going there, but we got snow during our stay. Then it melted enough so we didn't have to put chains on to leave. Nice!

We had all our rain and snow gear so every day we went out walking, all bundled up and snug as a bug in a rug (GRIN)!

On one of our hikes we got to watch a coyote hunting in the snow for a while.

I did two big hikes - one up the Upper Yosemite Falls trail where I had a terrific time hiking in the rain. The other was up to Nevada/Vernal Falls where it was a snowy trail. While watching the falls, it started to snow a lot - I couldn't even see the cliffs - so I headed back down. It was a beautiful hike.

Once again, we had a wonderful time!

   Canal Trail Walk, April 2007 February 22nd, 2009

A small exercise hike along the Canal Trail when the wildflowers were out. Another catch-up folder.

   Birds By Pool, 2005 February 22nd, 2009

These are Morning Doves and Ducks by our pool - it's a folder I've apparently missed loading before.

   Mt Diablo Back Creek Hike, January 2009 February 21st, 2009

It was a sunny day, and we needed exercise, so we went for a hike in Mt Diablo State Park. It was incredibly warm for a January day! We got to watch a flock of wild turkeys for a while.

   Rainbows and Clouds, January, 2009 February 21st, 2009

A storm front moved through with some heavy rain...but with the sun shining also. There was this great rainbow that moved along from one side of the hills, across the valley, to the other side of the hills!

I put these with the other rainbow pictures I've taken.

   Fog In The City, January, 2009 February 21st, 2009

The fog crept in on it's silent feet overnight, laying a white blanket over the city. Some of the taller buildings and then the trees stood up through the fog. it was quite amazing to watch it slowly lift.

   Moon Over The City, February, 2009 February 21st, 2009

I got two pictures of the moon over the city... kinda neat. I put them in my “Moon” folder with the other moon pictures.
