Welcome to Big Sur, the California coastline.....

Where'd the time go?

Well, I've been severely lacking here. What can I say, promotions, I guess, can be a dual sided sword....advancement, new opportunities....overtime....wow...holy moley, were'd the time go?

I've happily, though, been blessed to be able to jump at the chance to get out of town for a good roadtrip now and then. My boyfriend and I have developed a habit or planning trips around visiting Yosemite National Park....like through Sequoia National Park or Mono Lake on the way up, or Big Sur on the way home. So, some of the fruits of my efforts. If I could photo and post an image of my swiss cheese brain to illustrate my double edged sword with the beauty I've been able to visit, I would.
I must credit the world of books for providing me my short term time warps from this reality between excursions in to nature. And half.com's book section as my #1 indulgent vice.

Anza Borrego...2010!

There was a wonderful and beautiful variety of bloom in Anza Borrego this year...!

A walk in the park....

Balboa Park is a cornerstone of San Diego....mueseums, architecture, gardens, theatre, even the zoo! A favorite place to get lost....

Oh, more Yosemite.....!

Such a contrast to our visit last fall, the park was so alive! What a difference the water makes!
