Almond Orchard

It looks like another bumper crop of Almonds here in the Corning area this year. Just look how loaded this one tree is. They tell me the harvest will start in a couple of weeks. (Just click on the pictures for a larger view).

A Gagle Of Wild Turkeys

While making a delivery in the Happy Valley Area of Anderson I came upon this flock of wild Turkeys. All I could see was the mother and many small ones. I took this picture from the passenger side as they were scampering up an embankment. Right after the picture I saw them take wing. (Just click on the picture for a larger view).

Peacock or Road Runner?

I was driving down this country road between Red Bluff and Corning and came upon this Peacock who was very slow in crossing the road. Too bad he didn't have his full colors showing. (Just click on the pictures for a larger view).

They're Still Making Their Rounds

These two people are dedicated. Almost every day I see them on the streets of Red Bluff making their rounds. The lady with the cart and dogs and the walking man. They sure have heart. (Just click on the pictures for a larger view).

Interesting Road Sign

This sign is posted on Highway 36 West a few miles before the community of Platina. I have never had to make a delivery to these places and hope I don't have to. Its a gravel road and no telling what you would find at the other end. (Just click on the picture for a larger view).

Old Town Cottonwood

You are looking toward the West on Front Street in Cottonwood. Not much has changed (building-wise) from the mid 1800's. You will note the exceptionally wide street which was designed for wagons to turn around. Of course it was a dirt street back in those days and I'm sure very muddy during the rainy season. The Wells Fargo Stage use to stop about where the van is parked. (Just click on the picture for a larger view).

Some New Friends

These two friendly ponies wouldn't budge even when I walked between them to put my package on the front porch. I gave them each a pat on the nose and they seemed to enjoy it. Guess I'll have to start taking some sugar cubes or carrots in addition to my dog biscuits. (Just click on the picture for a larger view).
