Our daughter wanted to walk the University of Washington before applying, and seeing Drumheller Fountain in full blast, plus the trees and interesting buildings settled any doubts she had about campus. coryvj.com/post/seattle-college-vis…

On the left is a man with a grey beard and cap, in the center is a young woman in a grey t-shirt, and on the right is a woman with long brown hair. Behind them, a large Ferris wheel is lit up with bright white lights against a blue dusk sky.

California’s economy dominates the global stage. And this is thanks to the diverse regions, industries, and talents that exist across the state. That’s why we’ve invested $434.5M through CA Jobs First to support their growth — creating hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs along the way.

Bandit completed all 8.75 miles of the Twenty Lakes Basin loop, but now he is flattened under a blanket at camp, completely done with me for the day. coryvj.com/post/twenty-lakes-basin-…

A selfie of a smiling man with a graying beard, wearing a green cap, sunglasses, and over-ear headphones, standing on a dirt trail. The trail winds through a dry, golden grassy field toward a large blue alpine lake surrounded by rocky mountains under a blue sky with scattered clouds.

Years of driving past the J. Paul Getty Museum ended with a tram ride up the hill with our daughter and friends. Up in the Central Garden, late August means dahlias the size of dinner plates and an azalea maze floating in a pool. coryvj.com/post/first-time-up-at-th…

In the foreground, several large, bright red dahlia flowers are in sharp focus, blooming amidst green stems and leaves. The background shows the soft-focus architectural terraces and white stone buildings of the Getty Center under a bright blue sky.

Usually August in San Francisco means fog, but we got lucky with cloudless skies and warm sun for our anniversary. We spent the day wandering from Chinatown's busy cable cars to the quiet, shaded paths of the Japanese Tea Garden. coryvj.com/post/a-sunny-anniversary…

A vintage San Francisco cable car, painted red and light blue, carries passengers through a city intersection on a sunny day. In the background, a colorful yellow and blue building with Chinese architectural details stands on one side of the street, while a red brick church with a clock tower sits on the other.

We spent a lovely summer afternoon admiring the dense dahlia beds near the Conservatory in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. coryvj.com/post/golden-gate-park-gl…

A vibrant bed of pink, red, orange, and white dahlias in full bloom fills the foreground under a bright blue sky. In the background, the white Victorian glass dome of the Conservatory of Flowers rises behind green trees and a palm tree.

Escaping the late-July heat in Las Vegas meant spending an evening lost in a massive, surreal maze of shifting neon lights and glowing forests at Meow Wolf. coryvj.com/post/exploring-immersive…

A glowing neon sign shaped like an eye hangs against a dark, cosmic background. The sign reads 'LOCAL ARTISTS' with 'LV' and 'NV' flanking a green pupil. Above it, a painted rainbow sweeps across the dark wall, which also features a floating island with neon-colored cacti.

I spent a lovely sunny afternoon walking around Lake Union in Seattle, taking in the lively waterfront and the striking views of the Space Needle against the newer buildings. It's such a vibrant mix of old and new. coryvj.com/post/sunny-afternoon-on-…

On a clear sunny day in Seattle, the Space Needle stands tall on the left, framed by green trees. To its right, a modern glass building reflects the blue sky, with people visible enjoying the park area below.

Spent a beautiful summer day wandering the Los Angeles County Arboretum. So many vibrant blooms and quiet spots to discover under the bright California sun. coryvj.com/post/summer-day-at-the-l…

A colorful outdoor sign for the LA Arboretum is shown under a clear blue sky. White 3D letters spell 'LA Arboretum' on yellow shelves, interspersed with vertical teal and yellow-green panels, with a stylized brown tree and pink leaves also part of the design.

We visited Occidental College in Los Angeles for a tour, marking a new milestone. It was interesting to walk the campus, from the Obama plaque to the quiet library, picturing our daughter’s possible future. coryvj.com/post/college-tour-of-occ…

A man, a young woman, and a woman smile for a selfie in front of a bronze plaque depicting Barack Obama's face. The plaque is mounted on a light wall, with green foliage above, under sunny skies.

Enjoying a quiet stretch of days in Truckee, watching the garden bloom. The daisies are taking over around the Buddha statue, and the light here changes everything. coryvj.com/post/wildflowers-in-july

A weathered light-brown Buddha statue, adorned with a turquoise beaded necklace, is nestled amongst a dense patch of white daisies with yellow centers. The statue sits on a rock, with larger rocks visible behind it, all bathed in soft, warm light.

We spent a beautiful summer day out on Lake Tahoe, cruising from Tahoe Vista. The views, especially around Emerald Bay, were absolutely stunning with that signature cobalt water. coryvj.com/post/a-perfect-summer-da…

A motorboat with several people cruises on a deep blue lake, with a dense pine forest and mountains rising in the background. The mountains have patches of snow on their dark, rocky peaks, and the sky is bright blue with a few white clouds.

Great day at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta, enjoying some time on their track and checking out the cars. It's a unique spot where you can host a meeting & focus on driving skills. coryvj.com/post/a-day-on-the-track-…

Yesterday was a perfect June day to hike around Gold Lake, with clear blue skies and the Sierra Buttes still snow-capped in the distance. Even found a quiet spot for a quick swim! coryvj.com/post/a-clear-june-day-hi…

A wide outdoor photo on a sunny day shows a calm blue lake filling the lower half of the frame. Across the lake, a dense line of dark green pine trees stretches, with rugged, snow-capped mountains visible behind them. The sky above is a clear, bright blue.
