it was so quiet and peaceful at 7am as i started my walk. the destination would of course be the beach and ocean (not so quiet and not so peaceful) but i took a few different streets to get there. and i am glad i did. more on that later and about meeting a California Native Plant Society Outreach Officer who turned out to be a friend of a neighbor as well as having a big connection to Japan. hmmm? here are some images from my walk (still using the little Polaroid)(did i mention i ordered a new point-and-shoot online?)(no word on my Canon dslr)(why do i continue to write in parenthesis)(?).the first tanpopo (dandelion) of the morning i think you know why i took this photo and for who
is that a type of torii in between the take (bamboo)? roses in the mist with sun highlites my first look at the ocean this morning
