Our first morning in California I woke to this:
a cloudless, blue sky! I hadn’t seen one of those in forever, it seemed, and boy, did it make my spirits soar.
After my tea on the deck (can you imagine!) and the girls’ morning computer and cartoon time, we went into the burgeoning town of Windsor which is actually a cute new tourist trap town, shops of candles, candy, and cards. Blech. But, pretty.
Since it was such a beautiful day we decided to head to the nearest beach, only 25 minutes away. It was so cold and windy there we only stayed long enough to watch a kite surfer and notice the beach flora. It was really, really windy to chase us back into the car!
Beach Flora:
The black dot is the kite; the surfer is in the waves.
Contented California Cows on the Russian River:
California Poppies, wild and wonderful
We came home to supper and a bit of pool play.
Tomorrow morning we’re off to see the city with the Golden Gate.
Until then…

You put such a nice story together with your pics and all, Holl-babes. Never would have thought to take a picture of the blue sky, but it was perfect, and conveyed a feeling, since you talked about it. Incredible.
Thank you, Steven. You're nice.
The pictures of the Russian River are beautiful.
I like the cows. =)
Pictures of water are always refreshing.. but that blue sky.. wow!
I was drawn to the cows (as if I didn't see enough of them) but all were great. I really loved the top picture, which is funny, but the absence of everything kinda... worked! :-)
You did a great job! loved all that blue sky, it makes me so happy! :)
