A Lovely Day by the Bay, August 29

On Friday this week, I had the pleasure of eating a delicious salad prepared by an old friend who lives on her family property on San Francisco Bay. We overlooked the Bay and saw the City across the water. Her family owns a parcel of land along the shore of the Bay that has been in the family for four generations. The gardens are beautiful and the property has been lovingly maintained. After lunch, we took our beach chairs and sat on the sand watching the harbor seals, sail boats and the ferry boats in the distance. It was so great to be able to reconnect with her after having been away from the area for about 10 years. I am so pleased to "refind" old and good friends.

My friend stands in front of gates leading to the main house to show the scale of these incredible iron creations.

I wish I had taken the time to do some sketching, there are so many things that would be fun to try to capture in my journal.
