Hide and Peek
I met this curious little guy at the Westin Hotel in Santa Clara. I was there for a day attending a training class and started by strolling the grounds before being locked into a meeting room. This guy was using the palm tree as a vantage point from which to eat as many rosebuds as he could reach. He certainly wasn't intimidated by me.

Homecoming
I like this picture of me and my honey! I had just returned from New York and cabbed over to our friends' home where we were to have dinner. Dinner was great and so was the conversation. It was a great start to a gloomy long weekend.
Rainy Old England, or should I say Olde !
I recently was able to spend a week in England with my sister. I highly recommend this as an activity for any siblings who have managed to hit their fifties and not taken a vacation together.

As you will see from viewing the pics, we stayed in a flat in Windsor and had a great time exploring the town and of course, the castle. Additionally, I was able to connect with an old friend who took us on a fabulous day tour of the English countryside. Henley on Thames, Sonning.... strolling along the Thames and through the villages was wonderful. In Sonning we were caught admiring some flowering shrubs by the elderly owner who then invited us into his walled garden behind the house. He took us from plant to plant telling us a story about each one. We were invited into his ramshackle greenhouse to experience the aroma of his newly flowering Jasmine. He eventually sent us on our way, each with a Magnolia to enjoy.
A wonderful vacation in all. Site seeing, friends, and time with my Sis.
Ground Zero at night
While in New York on a business trip I really struggled with whether or not I wanted to see ground zero. After 3 days I decided that it was important to me, and for me, to go and pay respect. We should never forget what happened that day.
