Field Trip to Sheraton Palace Hotel in San Francisco

Every Thursday night, I meet with my "missional community" group from Resonate Church.  We discuss the sermon, answer questions that invite sharing our faith and struggles, and pray together.  Today we went on a field trip to San Francisco--Ferry Building, Farmer's Market, and tea at the Sheraton Palace Hotel.

Filoli Estate in May

Time for another trip to Filoli.  This trip, roses were prolific, and the sky was cloudy.  It was a perfect combination for a visit with the macro lens.  Foxgloves were abundant, also.  Peonies were just beginning to blossom.

Back to Sunol Wilderness Regional Park

It was another glorious day at Sunol. I tried trekking poles for the first time; they were great for the steep slopes. 

Spring Returns to Filoli Gardens 2015

I look forward to visiting Filoli Gardens every February.  The gardeners present spectacular displays of tulips and daffodils.  Since we continue in a period of drought, most displays are in pots.  The daffodil patch was still beautiful, but not as bountiful as in past years.
