LOVE THIS ONE I CAME ACROSS AGAIN

Over the next few days i'll be adding a side bar of favorite photos....and some other things i have planned, if I can find the time.

Same with Holden's blog....

hope you are all doing well, love you.

KATHY AND JEFF CAME BY TO SAY GOODBYE

To Joel and Erin and kids before they left to go back home. We are trying out some of the olive oil they brought back from italy - it was delicious.

Kathy, I don't know if you check here or not, but if you do, we are glad the surgery is behind you and you are home recovering - and that all appears to be well.

I have wanted to call but figured i would wait until you have been home a couple weeks.

POINTING OUT A LIZARD TO HOLLY

Holly the lizard stalker is at it again.

READ POST BELOW FOR EXPLANATION

more childhood curiosity going on. She would be fun to follow for a day - just to see her exploring.

STALKING BUTTERFLIES - STALKING HOLLY

Holly didn't know I was up in the yard with my zoom on following her - stalking butterflies. Look at her face closely as she spots something...

i love this series of photos simply for the childhood delight in her face.

SHE DIDN'T KNOW I WAS PHOTOGRAPHING HER

I was up in the yard using a zoom and loved watching her in a contemplative mood. Soon after, she was chasing butterflies. This was about an hour before you showed up from your trip.

SOME IMAGES I'VE COLLECTED REGARDING

Marin County - i came across these old post cards - the first two images - i thought they were so pretty.

here is a link to More Marin - link.
In my googling areas, i read an article in Bouyant Link - link about the people who live on the floating boats in Richardson Bay. Here are a few pics of a boat i thought was beautiful.

I'm enjoying sitting at home and researching the areas i love and hope to visit soon - especially your area....it's been too long.

On my list is - central coast, up to and maybe beyond where you live -
Sedona - i've been there twice and want to go again. Will definitely visit Prescott too.

i have a long list of places but for now will enjoy the images i find on Google.

i enjoyed our talk joel and also hearing of the follow up from your talk with dad.

i'll be updating more pics of the kids later..and from the days you got back and we all were outside in front.

love you all, mom

A FEW PICS FROM THE LAST TRIP

I'll hopefully get some more up soon. We sure enjoyed you Holly. I hear you are riding a bike now - without training wheels!!!! wow.
