But we're inland from these, and it gets too hot for them during our summers.

The flowers, plants, trees, etc. are coming out of their winter slumber. Family is all well, and still speaking to me. Can't ask for much more than that. Heading out on Thursday for a few days in DC (babysitting granddaughter while daughter attends a conference).

How are you?

The first one just knocked my socks right off! And the others are cool too.

I love love love the Marin view of the Golden Gate Bridge! I haven't seen many photos from this side, and I love how foreshortened the bridge looks.

Thanks for sharing, as always!

I always have it with me and it's super easy to use and upload.

Didn't mean to deceive you!

On edit: The Spring flowers thread I put up today are all with the iPhone.

I run the results through Lightroom. I had a great time with it in Chicago.

The Golden Gate photo was taken while walking out to the viewing area at Vista Point, out of frame to the left. Solid ground the whole way.

Hope your trip is going well.
