Mom and her boys

The schliefkevision siblings.

I go out walkin'...

Brother gets pricked by cactus while posing for a picture. Imagine, walking into a cactus and getting pricked? Amazing.

Assorted view of the O.C.

Some bizarro plant from Mars, found in the O.C.

beaches and cliffs, beaches and cliffs

A man and his parrot. E! True Story coming soon...

vegetation and all.

Dana Point Harbor

Dana Point Harbour (for all ye lymies)

It ain't Kentucky, and it ain't grass.

Everything is a bit off in California.

Atlas (shrugs)

posers.

Weird Japanese people who covered their faces in giant towels while they golfed. I need to go see Tokyo soon.

Walking to the beach.

More of the same!!

Bet you've never seen a tree as lovely as this.

OK, I hope there's no more tree shots.

Flying objects? Where?

Goofball.

Paparazzi shot of schliefkevision taking on the Pacific.

I know you want to see this with a zoom lens.

Looking at these pictures make me feel like Julia Roberts or something.

Wet and adjusting!

Look at that warm southern California glow.

Karen with a cactus, in frame this time.

Is there anything Californians don't have to worry about?

I guess not.

Really, there must be something.

At least God is on their side.

Some televangelist built this awful monstrosity called the Crystal Chapel to broadcast his message every Sunday. Note to readers: his message, not His message.

I had hoped this army colored Hummer in the Crystal Chapel parking lot had a bumper sticker that said, "Will Kill for God", but alas, these are compassionate Christians. They only kill for oil.

I think this was supposed to be John the Baptist, but I think it looks waaaaay too much like Ted Kaczynski, a personal hero of mine, who also has ties to Schenectady, NY.

Burning Bush warms hands, more at eleven.

Holy Moses!

Lazy palms.

Surfer sister. She sooo wishes.

some crazy old surfer lady.

some beach art.

Santa.

more beach art.

My brother after taking a picture of girls in bikinis.

Another O.C. beach.

A really lovely looking lady with a diminuitive dog.

Mom just loved my tattoo. Yup. Loved it. Especially when she wasn't smiling for the cameras. Loved it. Trust me. Loved it.
