Conference Calling

San Diego was fun, but it was work too. I was there for a conference and I did my share of talking and listening. Then I caught a glimpse of this woman taking a break on her mobile and it struck me as lovely.

I Spy Eyes

There I was, innocently taking a walk in Palm Canyon in Balboa Park when suddenly I felt like I was being watched! What's a girl to do? Make the predator the prey! I whipped out my handy camera and got a snapshot of that dangerous dude!

Fallen Woman

On a hike in Presidio Park in California, I came upon this fallen tree. It looks so much like a woman fallen upon her back, arms outstretched, hair everywhere.

Me and the Guys

I visited San Diego for the first time ever. Where to go? Balboa Park! Museums and I usually get along quite well and this was no exception. There was a wonderful cluster of museums, a tram ride around the park, and, of course, natural wonders to explore as well.

Gonna Getchoo!

Maybe it's the "itch" from constantly growing muscles. Maybe it's because the weather is so warm. Whatever it is, my grandson doesn't slow down. That means that one of my favorite things to do with him is play at the playground! We stay just long enough to get really thirsty, a little bit hungry, and sometimes even a bit wobbly from being so tuckered out.

Dandy Days

I extended a business trip and visited my brother in Indianapolis. I didn't have a good pair of walking shoes with me (I won't make that mistake again!) so I decided I would do some of my work sitting outside in his backyard. It didn't take long for the wet, spring air to distract me. And before I knew it I was gazing upon the perfect spring visual! Mushrooms were popping up in the wet ground. A dandelion had sprouted. And purple Irises were gently swaying to the birds chirping. All of this taking place under the subdued light of cloud-covered skies.

My Inheritance

When my cousin visits from Alaska, we try to find interesting things to do. This year I decided to take him and his wife to Heritage Village, a valuable inheritance for the residents of this part of Florida. Every time I go I see something different.

My cousin didn't want to duck under the rope and leave through the old garage door, so he walked back through the general store. It looks kind of like a sunset, but that's actually the electric orb inside the store. The smell of pines is rich in the village!

Time is up always too soon and we were under the countdown to catch the last tour of one of the historical houses. We caught the tour and even squeezed into the gift shop just before it closed to get some candy sticks. Yum!
