Plum Blossoms

....with heavy dew from the morning fog,
There are a few plum trees in my yard, they smell so beautifully in the afternoon sun

Spring is here !

Spring has started here in Sonoma County ;)
This week flowers are popping up everywhere , these pink Magnolias are one of my favorites
I was so glad to find them on an overcast day with no clouds or sky to distract in the background, just their lovely shapes and form.

Sunny side of the street

Visiting a friend in San Francisco recently , this was in the house where she was staying ,
I love this color combination, Gold and Aqua.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend !! :)

Do Good Anyway .......

Beautiful words from Mother Teresa

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”
Mother Teresa

and Happy Chinese New Year to everyone !! The Year of the Dragon ;)
Much abundance and good fortune to all
The colorful and beautiful celebrations will be going on in San Francisco for a couple weeks !

The wind and rain swept away a lot of the leaves last night,
So glad for a bright sunny morning everything sparkling and new.
