Peonies are coming...

My mom just sent this my way... I hope I don't miss them this year.

This one is from a few years ago. Heavenly scent and the perfect shades of pink and creamy white.

Backyard

We have the best slightly neglected tree in our backyard. A few weeks ago it was in full bloom and now the petals lay on the ground decaying after a week of heavy rain and wind.

Here and there

A few shots from Half Moon Bay and a very cool old wall in Santa Cruz
