Well, if you were in Fairfax and wanted to get over to Bolinas on the coast, you would take a scenic little two lane road named the Fairfax-To-Bolinas Road.   Generally, in Bolinas the road is called Bolinas-To-Fairfax Road.

This is the appropriately named "Ridgecrest Boulevard" where a lot of car commercials have been filmed over the years.   There's probably a good chance that you saw Lance Armstrong chugging up this road in an advertisement for the Postal Service and the Olympic Bicycling Team.

And back to my little foggy grove of Redwoods.   All of this within about five miles of where Kitty and I live.

Redwoods; and I would have liked to pose a pretty red-head next to one of those redwoods, but I'm going to have to use my red car as a stand-in.   You'll just have to use your imagination...

Wow!!! Right on!! I sure like the large banner! :)

Remodeling are we?!! I should do the same, have been threatening to overhaul the blog for ages.

I like what I see, well done! The only thing I would change it the white background. I kind of like the background you had on before, a soft grey pastel, I believe? Makes the photos stand out. The white background is bright. .02 though ;)

One comment all by itself for the beautiful sexy thing in the picture (I mean the car, of course! ;)

THANKS PHOTOWANNABE -- I know you like your photos large, so I was hoping these larger sizes would be a step in the right direction...

AND THANKS TOMATE FARCIE -- Good suggestion about the white -- I toned it down from #ffffff to #ececec... I think it looks much better -- I did have a two-tone job kind of thing...
