Contrail (San Rafael) - Marin County  2026

Photo taken with my iPhone near my May Open Studios exhibit . . . same idea as an earlier 2021 photo.

Interesting: the iPhone that I have (13 Pro Max) has started to exhibit a flaw when in the "telephoto" mode, . . . a web search is showing that others have reported the issue. Easily corrected in Photoshop of course.

Walking around with a Sony RX100 while the Highlander was being serviced.

"Dubbed “California’s Las Vegas,” Litchfield’s Bermuda Palms was the place to be during the ’60s and ’70s. Built in the late 1940s by Irving “Whitey” Litchfield, a millionaire construction mogul, the resort had a luxury swimming pool, color television, nightly dancing and rooms for under $10 a night."
