Friendly Flora from San Diego
We spent a few days in San Diego last month and I’m still sorting through the hundreds of pictures I took – when will I ever learn? In the meantime, I decided that this cold and rainy day in the Pacific Northwest could use… Continue Reading “Friendly Flora from San Diego”

Traveling 2023 – A look back at our Comings and Goings from Seattle
A strange title perhaps, but I wanted to reflect on our travels in 2023 in a particular way. Because as much as I love traveling, I find my hometown of Seattle to be more beautiful than any place I visit.
