Okay, the vote was mixed, some preferred Africa, others preferred Big Sur, and many wanted both. You all win! I’ll be posting both for a while!

Well, shoot. I was as surprised as you are that Foto Friday comes on a Thursday this week. Silly blog. Guess I am taking Friday off. Going to the Big Sur Multiagency Advisory Council Meeting tomorrow, the real Friday!

  • Oh Kate! What a treat! And how compatable they are with each other, your Big Sur and your Africa. At some point in decades past I decided (after leaving Brooklyn) not to live near large things which could pounce on you unawares and shred you into a small gellatinous pool. On the other hand, I see the roaring, trumpeting, vibrant life you were so thrillingly close to. It makes me want to go there, too.

  • What an utterly lovely mix. Africa must have been incredible, a pretty radical change from Big Sur, too, I imagine. Can't wait to see more!

  • Wow! that one of the Big Sur sunset with the pine in the glow of the sunset is exceptional, as is the one of wild flowers & their vibrant colors.
