OK so the wordpress header won’t let me put the whole photos in – it has taken me an hour or so to actually merge these two photos together and then I can’t use the whole thing.  So, I’m putting it here:

Pretty, huh?  The one on the right you’ve seen before, although not the whole thing.  That was my view from Lafayette home, complete with my wonderful St. Francis statue.  Do you realize how difficult it is to find a semi-smiling St. Francis statue?  Most of them look like he’s really depressed that he eschewed all his father’s wealth and hung out with animals.  Irritates me.  Someday I’m going to make a smiling St. Francis.  Maybe it’s because all the animals peed on his meager rugs.

Anyway, two mornings ago I walked out of my home in Laguna Hills, which is on a cul-de-sac. At the end of the cul-de-sac is a drop off into a little valley.  I don’t know why nothing is there, but nothing is.  The next door neighbor tells me in another month or so we’ll hear the coyotes who have a den there.  So I walk out and it’s misting outside – we really do get rain here – a storm expected tonight again – and there is a gorgeous full rainbow.  I could not get a shot of the whole thing because of the trees, but it was full, just like the one in Lafayette was full.  So I don’t know, maybe the pot of gold is Orange County.  I’m giving up trying to figure out where my pot of gold is.  Maybe it’s just wherever I am.

The flowers in the foreground are bougainvillas which grow in ocean zones.  They grew in San Francisco a lot but it was too warm in the East Bay for them.  It’s nice to see them again.  Pretty impressive, huh?

That’s my blog for today.  Just pictures.  I’d write more but I spent all my time figuring out how to put two pictures together.  I’m not even sure how I did it.

Ta ta for now…
