Life's a Beach

We live fairly close to the ocean (maybe 30 miles as the crow flies) but rarely make it out to the beach. Whenever I do I'm remined how truly awe inspiring it is. Recently we went to a beach just north of Monterey and enjoyed a stroll. It was a very windy day but the beach was fairly sheltered so it was not so bad on the beach. However there were lots of kites in the sky which was beautiful to watch.

So Here's my question - is anybody out there? I know my Mom reads this blog but anyone else? I'm thinking of discontinuing it as I already get to see these photos. Let me know if you are lurking.

I'm so proud!

I am so proud that my cymbidiam (sp?) orchid is blooming again! I have such a hard time getting orchids to bloom and when I saw the buds on this little guy I was just thrilled. Aren't they gorgeous?!

Spring Blooms Again

Spring blooms again and again these days. Everywhere I turn there are gorgeous blossoms on the trees. It is so odd to me that many of these will simply becomes leaves of no interest. I think Spring is truly one of the most magical times of year.
