Beacon Hill Art Walk
We really lucked out with the weather! Fantastic event, may have been the most visitors ever in the 15 years I’ve been organizing it. Gorgeous artwork and wonderful musicians. Art Walk website

California Wildflowers

Desert Wildflowers
We kept hearing how awesome the wildflowers are this year, so we decided to check them out– and it is as spectacular as everyone says! The photos don’t do it justice- it’s definitely something to see in person. Like fireworks on TV or seeing the Grand Canyon in a movie, photographs and video aren’t even close. Put it on your bucket list!
