It was so nice to have Justin visiting last week. We had some fun times. ^_^
I always chuckle when I see this picture because the girls behind me thought I was photographing some cute strangers since they didn’t know we were together.

magnolias in pink & white
Emma and I love to spot the “magnolahs” in our neighborhood. We saw a painter in the gardens last week painting the magnolias there and he recommended visiting the SF Botanical gardens to see beautiful magnolias there. I have never visited before but according to the SF Botanical Gardens they have the “most significant magnolia collection for conservation purposes outside China, where the majority of species grow.” Sounds like we will have to take a trip to Golden Gate Park. The really cool thing is that we could also drop into the deYoung museum as well since they are part of the reciprocal museum list and we have the membership to the Oakland Museum. ^_^

We have seen some wonderful views walking around the lake in the last hour or half hour before the sun sets. I feel fortunate to be here in this place, with these people.
