Vignettes for the Lazy Blogger: Week 1

 

Part of the reason  I've been slow on this blog lately is that I have a huge backlog of stories and photos to think about. I keep planning lots of lengthy posts, but I never get around to sorting the photos on my computer or the stories in my head. I think a vignette approach might be a better idea.

 

First, there was San Diego. We went there to a wedding there.  The bride was beautiful:

And so were the botanical gardens:

Then there was San Francisco... flowers in the forests......

And produce in the  farmer's markets...

And urban environments...

And foggy skies...

And the Stanford campus.

We went there to see my brother Michael and my soon to be sister-in-law Leslie. They have a dog that looks a tiny bit scary in this picture, but who's really quite adorable and sweet. She just didn't like my camera:

The property near where they lived had some funky old cars (and buses) there:

And there was another funky plant:

Okay. I'm done for now : ) I'm skipping the trip to Chez Panisse, because it was too fantastically delicious for a lazy photo-only...
