  • A Walking Tour of Point Reyes Station, California

    Last weekend we were up north, spending a few days on the coast. One of our favorite little towns near Tomales Bay is Point Reyes Station. It’s a tiny place, just one grocery store, a few shops and places to eat. Sean, Zoom and I wandered the town for a…

  • Zoom Friday: Zoom Goes on Vacation to Dillon Beach

    This week we took Zoom to the beach for vacation. We tried out a new spot, Dillon Beach. We left on Easter after a lovely brunch with our family, and arrived at the rental house (found on VRBO) before sun down. We had lovely view of the beach and the…

  • View of the Bay from a Parking Lot

    I was just going through some of my old photos on Flickr, and ran into these two. I used to work in San Francisco, and I’d drive in every day and park out on a pier. I loved working in the city, and I really liked being downtown. This strange…

  • Spring Flowers: Pink Tulips

    Happy Spring to you all! As you probably know, I really can’t resist taking photos of flowers. Here are some of my favorite pink beauties in the spring – tulips, gerber daisies, camelias, and cherry blossoms. I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday 🙂

  • Spring Flowers: Anemones and Marguerite Daisies

    Over the weekend, we went to the Farmer’s Market. It was sunny, and fairly warm, and very nice outside. We stood for awhile just listening to musicians, and Zoom loved watching a juggler there. We also picked up some flowers. A small group of cut anemones are sitting on our…

    I love visiting churches. There’s something about the history of a place that has been in a city for years, that houses so many prayers, that acts as a place of serenity, solitude and salvation within all the bustle. I’m drawn to churches and places of worship when I travel.…
