Afternoon Walk

I stepped out one drizzly morning before I left hoping to catch a bit of Spring in one the older neighborhoods....

I happened upon this wonderful tree with clouds of pink still attached to it's boughs.

and some kind soul with a love of finches, had spread a marvelous buffet from one of the branches.

This is how I remember California Spring........

Moss Landing Views

One thing I know for sure.....if I lived here, I would never tire of seeing how the light spills onto the water.....

and each and every time, the view is just that much different, so you think, you know.......that you haven't seen that particular view before, ever.

In tandem........

The way back to camp......

A little island of creativity

Found this little artists community in Old Town San Diego......you could really feel the creativity there. I wanted to stay, wander around for a bit......

It's a healthy thing to do, to create something from nothing......it's art!

All the items had prices on them, but I have a feeling the real value was in the making......the smiles that come when you are letting something flow from inside yourself, doing what you were meant to do.

And then to see my first daffodil of the year! My heart always smiles when I see one, especially the firt one of the year.........

A little bit of sunshine coming up through the earth....

A gift from God. 

You shall be like a tree.....

They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water.......

Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought........

Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit. Jeremiah 17:8

Consider the Lilies.......(or Orchids)

"Consider how the lilies (or orchids) grow........

They do not labor or spin.

 Yet I tell you,

not even Solomon in all his splendor

was dressed like one of these. Luke 12:27

Reflections of Balboa Park

Spreckels Organ Pavilion

It's funny how I have been to this park several times, but never really seen it.......

As I wandered around with my camera, I saw details I never saw before......

And all over, were the faces that leapt from the plaster walls....

All photos were taken at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion in San Diego. The pavilion was donated by John D. and Adolph Spreckels specifically for the Panama-California exposition in 1914. It was built by Harrison Albright, a self taught Architect. This beautiful pavilion houses the 4,530 pipe organ. Since 1917 the City of San Diego has had a civic organist who performs free concerts each Sunday in Balboa Park.
