The Traveler went to the Dicken’s Fair in Daly City, CA on Sunday, Dec. 8, 2013. While there he spied this Sea Man’s pub. Custom was slow, but no matter; the Gin was being poured…or should I say Sipped liberally by the proprietress.

This is one of 10 glass ornaments that I bought when I was 19 years old. It was my first Christmas in my own apartment with the first Christmas Tree I could call my own. I’ve broken 3 ornaments from the set over the years, and they’re so fragile now that I don’t hang them on the tree anymore.

Townsend’s Warbler-Male

I didn’t think I got a decent photo of this Warbler because he was so flitty, and in the shade of this Pine Tree, and my Tamron Teleconverter has a bit of wiggle room so it moves and I lose Auto-focus. I need to get it fixed. I was so excited to see that I got a fairly sharp photo of him after all. That he had breakfast was a bonus! 🙂
