Garden tours await

I found this beautiful image of Kuniyoshi via one of my favorite spaces, Japonisme. I stopped to say hi to her before I left for my whirlwind garden touring and voila- there it was. Yes, irresistible.

Gardeners in the North Bay are presenting a series of Garden Tours this week-end as a fund-raiser. I have my walking shoes on and extra batteries stashed in my little camera case. This is so exciting.... flowers, flowers, flowers await. A feature attraction of one of the gardens is Sheldon, a 40 year old tortoise who strolls around his garden. Hopefully, I will have a photo of him later.

Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday with friends and loved ones. I am in a good mood even though it is overcast. We just have to take our days the way they come.
