For the V week of the alphabet challenge. This beautiful green valley was photographed in January last year, after winter rains had made for lush & green hillsides in Central California. This was east of Santa Maria, CA. The Red-tailed Hawk flying over was a surprise bonus.
For the "I" week of the alphabet challenge, I is for Islands in the Sea. This is a painterly version of a photograph taken in Alaska, off the Kenai Peninsula, on a boat trip from Seward, out to Northwest Glacier.
For the "J" week of the alphabet challenge, J is for Jester--who was photographed at the Renaissance Fair in Irwindale, California.
