April 10 on 10: Spring . . . Sort Of

We've had another typical start to Spring in Indiana: back and forth from some unseasonably warm days (even to almost 80) to cold, frost, rain and, even, snow, but my favorite spring wild flowers--wood anemone--have returned:

And there is dew on the grass in the mornings, which I always love:

Plus the return of colors to the landscape:

At the end of March, I got a special treat. I "had" to travel for work to San Diego. The work part maybe was not so much fun (although it ended up being much better than I was anticipating, and it was a productive trip), but going to sunny San Diego and having the opportunity to see my friend Kim for a few hours on one evening (plus meet Luciane) made it so much more appealing. Kim was so kind to take me to a few favorite spots in San Diego--Scripps Pier:

 And windandsea beach:

And my hotel was right across the street from the Salk Institute:

It was a quick trip, but I do hope to be able to go back someday--maybe even for a vacation . . .
