Spring has sprung

After living here for over 20 years, Cristie & I recently discovered that there's a huge botanical garden in Golden Gate Park.  I guess we'd never explored it before because it goes by the name of "Strybing Arboretum" which doesn't really sound like someplace you'd want to go.

To make it even less inviting, there's a sign at Strybing Arboretum's entrance gate listing all the things you're not allowed to do.

Fortunately, you are allowed to take pictures.  Cristie caused a stir among the other photographers by bringing her own backgrounds and attaching them to the plants with a plamp.

As you can see it's spring in the Bay Area.  The weather was so nice even the hipsters in skull t-shirts and tattoos were in the park.

Joggers were stopping and taking the time to relax.

And the cherry blossoms are out at William's school.
