Bodie CA

Hipstamatic, Salvadore camera

Several months ago I was able to stop in Bodie CA on my way to Reno NV.  It's off Hwy 395, fairly easy 13-mile drive  during the summer (except when they do road repairs!).   I had fun with the Hipstamatic camera app on my iPhone and liked these two versions of the old Shell Gasoline sign.

The Salvadore camera produces unpredictable results -- I liked this one of the sign.





























PS:  Thanks to friend Kerrie, who identified the beautiful white flower in my last post.  It's called a Carissa macrocarpa.

I love the lace curtains. 

This trip on Hwy 395,  the highway to Bodie was open!    A month ago it was snowing while I drove south, so I didn't even try to drive into Bodie.   Here's a few Hipsta photos from the morning.  I'm having fun with this app and all the cameras & film  in it to play with.  

Everytime I visit Bodie I marvel at the people who founded this town, at the great distances they had to bring building materials, furniture, glass.   One house had the remnants of 3 layers of wall paper.

Heading North on 395, I stopped at Kramer's Corners (Hwys 395 and 58) Antiques and stuff.  Here's a few photos taken in their yard.  Fun place to stop!

Paige is ready to go. 

Even if it did float, it wouldn't go too far with this anchor!

Last week I walked around an area in San Diego called "Liberty Station."   It was a Naval Training Center and this "ship"  was used for training.    There's a great playground area for kids, plenty of grass area for soccer, parties, picnic areas, etc.  

Paige is ready for anything.  She sees her big brothers put on knee and elbow pads when they ride their scooter & skateboard and she doesn't want to be left behind.   At 3-1/2 years she knows no boundaries!  

The ship that never sailed. 

Shane is 5!

Happy Birthday Shane!     He was very happy and surprised with his first skateboard.  Taken with iPhone, Hipstamatic app.
