My favorite photography subjects are the sky, trees, cats and other animals (domestic or wild), nature, the Salinas River, Paso Robles, Templeton, Moonstone Beach, vineyards, flowers, and places I visit.

This is my original Flickr account. I lost access to it when Yahoo acquired the site because of a snafu with my email address. It wasn't Yahoo enough for them. I just regained access to it, but not until after I opened a new account this week so I could begin being active again. The user new for the new account is barbkosta, and that is where I will be most active. I will leave part of this account up for a bit longer until I transfer all I want to transfer and delete the rest. I want to avoid duplication. I hope to see you on my new account where I'm posting more of my recent photos and videos.
