A quiet week on the blog…

You may have noticed, I did not post much this week. I didn’t post at all, I was traveling and visiting, and getting some things done. The registration on my Sprinter expired the end of 2022. I needed to get it smogged. Between not driving due to the infection inside my eyeball, and the collapse of Highway One, I couldn’t get it done. Finally, I could drive, I had the appointment, and I combined as much as I could, including a visit with a friend in King City and with friends in Morro Bay, into the week. I left on Monday and got home Friday. The slides to the north and to the south of me meant I was limited to the east.

It was such a beautiful drive — everything was so green, except for the explosion of poppies. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a photo of that as there was too much traffic for me to stop, but I did get this intoxicating wisteria in SLO. So fragrant.

  • Good morning! Glad to see your post and glad you are alive and well! Love the photos as it’s a great spring as well in the sierras. Take care! Mark

  • The breath of spring inland, the change of scene that brought with it moments of pleasure and relief -- perhaps we all have turned a corner. It is certainly about time.

  • Out and about too … beautiful photos … thank you! Best wishes for a complete healing! Drove up from LA —- the Cuesta pass and all along the 101 was also a stunning green 💚 with wild flowers …

  • Really happy you were able to get out and have some pleasure besides business. Beautiful spring photos, always eye delights. Recreation.gov officially cancelled my two week stay at Kirk first of May. I knew it would be the case and compared to the hardships of everyone living in Big Sur, it's miniscule, but still I get to feel sad about missing my 49th year of April in Big Sur. It was a real joy to finally meet you in person and I had hoped we might carry on. Till next...

  • Great news, seeing the beauty, and out and about. Nice pictures, Kate. What about that tree in blossom? I was out to the desert, green there too with scattered bio-diverse blooms. Delightful!
