Last month when we were in California the wife, her mother and I took a boat out of San Pedro to Santa Catalina Island. We didn't feel the need to rent a cart or pay for a tour, so we stuck with our feet and prowled through the alleys and shops of tiny little Avalon.

The house on the hill also tickled my photographic senses the last time I was on Catalina, some 15 years ago. I remember taking a photo of it with the medium format camera that I had borrowed from the high school photo lab. I recall that one didn't turn out well. It seems my photographic skills have improved over the past decade and a half, which pleases me.
