Last Tuesday’s post tells a bit about our recent trip to California. I won’t repeat it here. Just wanted to share some more photos as promised. (Some pix by the Gnome; some by me–can’t remember whose is whose anymore.)

So many orange, lemon, and quince trees. How I wanted to reach up and snatch a juicy one.
This guy was a real showoff.
Don’t let this soft-looking Teddy Bear cactus fool you . . .
their spikes can cause serious injury.

See those big patches of yellow? California’s wildflowers were just beginning to put on their display while we were there, working their way up the mountainsides.
