Surrounded by the energetic...

Susan and Chris went hiking in Indian Canyons and had some tricky times with the heat,  creek to cross,  rocks,  etc....but did see some great wildflowers.







Meanwhile,  back home,  Carol and John took their nephew,  Etienne, for a walk in Lighthouse Park.  Ah yes,  there is nothing like that "herbal freshness of a rain-drenched forest by the ocean".   We just have to walk across the street at home to get that!

From Carol's blog"

"The steep rocky trails had turned into creeks with small lakes at the bottom. The ocean views were shrouded in mist. Mud was everywhere. And the rain just kept coming.

Unlike John, Etienne and I didn't have waterproof shoes, so our feet got wet, and our pants were muddied. But an eagle circled above our heads, an otter popped up from the rocky shore, and we breathed the kind of air that no office building has ever imagined -- the herbal freshness of a rain-drenched forest by the ocean."





Etienne and John at a lookout point. John is wearing his long black raincoat, which has been worth its weight in gold this rainy spring.
