A Picture Post

It’s 6:30 a.m. and I’ve been up since about 5:00. It’s 17 degrees outside. That’s cold. I just went outside, though, to get the morning newspaper and there’s no wind so it’s tolerable.

I was looking at some of the photos I’ve taken during our travels and have decided to post a few that I really like. Just for fun. So here goes…

The first three I took a couple of years ago during a visit to Northern California – wine country – Sonoma County, to be exact. The flower pots were at the Korbel Winery. The next is a view of San Francisco from Sausalito. The third photo I took driving through the Russian River Valley. It is so gorgeous there. If I could live anywhere in the world and money was no object, I would choose Northern California. I really would.

The next four shots are from Arizona. The doorknocker is on the door of a house in the Tucson desert and the butterfly photo I took at the Arizona Desert Museum. What a great place to visit. I love the desert.

The Indian sculpture is in the town of Sedona and the cool terra cotta lady is on the patio at Michael’s house in Mesa.

The last picture is from my own perennial garden. A pretty daylily. I can hardly wait until it’s nice enough to be outside in the gardens. Jack, especially, is eager to get his hands dirty. He’s outside from dawn until dusk every summer.

Doesn’t seem like summer will ever get here. It will, though. Gotta be patient.
