I took these photos walking down the main street, Washington Avenue, in Yountville, which is a small town located in the Napa Valley. It seems to be a popular destination for tourists, honeymooners and wine lovers.

Pacific Grove
Practice at a public golf course in Pacific Grove, CA.
But what I thought was interesting were these deer that were feeding on the grass.

A Day at the Races, Hollywood Park
I flew to Los Angeles for a day at the races at Hollywood Park on October 2nd.
Crowd at the paddock, assembled to see the day's main attraction, Zenyatta.
Zenyatta, the undefeated 6-year old mare is a California super horse. Every time she runs, Zenyatta draws big crowds. On this day, she was running in her final race in California, attempting to win her 19th straight race, in addition to becoming the North American earnings holder with $6,404.580.
Minutes before entering the starting gate.
Zenyatta has dead aim on her 19th straight win. Her final race will be on November 6th,
in the Breeder's Cup Classic in Kentucky, where she will attempt to win her 20th race
and retire undefeated.

A Day at the Races, Golden Gate Fields
These are photos I took recently at Golden Gate Fields, the racetrack near San Francisco.
The horses are headed to the starting gate.
The stride of a thoroughbred race horse can propel horse
and jockey at speeds over 30 miles per hour.
The start of a race over the turf course.
The horses run past the grandstand for the first time.
Cruising to victory.
Time to pose for the winner's photo.
