I am back at my mom’s house in the San Francisco Bay Area, so that means pictures of flowers and dogs and sunsets and lots of other stuff.

I drove 500 miles, from San Diego to the place I was born and raised. Los Angeles was its usual glamorous self.

It is a drive I have done so many times, and I have already posted about it a lot of different ways.

And now I am back at the house where I grew up, watching another sunset. I suspect that some of the colors in this one are due to the smoke from the huge fires burning all over California.

Redwoods and roses. A setting sun. A place I love. I will try to keep you entertained…

Because I am going to be here for more than a week.
