My Birthday Tulips
Today is my birthday and almost exactly one year since I started this blog. =) My day so far has included a wonderful icecream-waffle breakfast (it’s a birthday tradition in our home), creative gifts from my family, many wonderful ‘happy birthdays” and these tulips. I am blessed indeed.
I experimented with the post processing in Lightroom 3. I like the faded, grainy look.

From a Weekend Away
I love photos with reflections. This was taken in Sausalito last weekend. My hubby and I went away for a few days…
<insert happy sigh here>.

Day #48
I met this very lovely lady yesterday. She lives at the Sacramento Zoo in their new, wonderful giraffe area. Giraffes are my favorite large mammal. Isn’t she beautiful?

Day #46
I took this one at Pier 39 when we were in the City. It reminded me of the movie “Big” with Tom Hanks. Remember that one?

I took this the last time we went to San Francisco. We were on Fisherman’s Wharf looking out towards Alcatraz.

Day #44
Sam & I went for a walk along New Brighton Beach in Capitola. She posed here so we could get a picture of the beach house in the background – the one with the blue doors. We both loved it and wished that it was our home.

Day #43
I love Sacramento. It’s second only to my sweet, friendly (& All American!!!!) city of Rancho Cordova. I think Sacramento has some of the most beautiful buildings around and it is truly a city of trees.
