As you know, Phil and I are back in the San Francisco area. Phil started the new year at work on January 3rd, and I've been with him since 1/4/07.

I went out for walks yesterday and early this morning. Yesterday, I took my camera with me and captured some sights along the way.

Above is a photo of beautiful ducks swimming near the shore. I must confess that I can never see ducks without thinking of my mother. :-) When our girls were young, Mother often came and spent several weeks at a time with us. When it was time for her to return home, she always told the girls that she had to go home and get her "ducks in a row." They could never figure out why Grandma had those silly ducks! ha

New pinecones.....crystalline sky.

A view of the Marriott down the walkway. Such a great place to stay, with a great place to walk. I'm so blessed!
