Mum and I by the boat near Inverness, originally uploaded by CharlesFred.

Here's a nice photo of Mum and me on the shores of Tamales Bay, near Point Reyes in West Marin County, just north of San Francisco.

I was over there for the quarterly close at Metron and Mum came over for a week to see both me as well as her cousin Janet, who has lived in California for a long time and lives in a lovely house in the Richmond area of San Francisco, with views across to the Golden Gate Bridge. They also have a house up here in Inverness, although we did not visit it on this occasion.

The boat in the background in the Point Reyes and it is a wreck. The white paint is rusting and it is altogether a wonedrful subject for photography, changing its appearance with the light and the time of day. This was the first time I saw the baot and we were under a blanket of early morning cloud which, in fact, turned out to be the best light of all to capture all the colours.
