How I survived a bit of nothingness

It feels great to take a break from feeling the need to accomplish something - other than enjoying walks in the park.  Two days in a row. I just had to go back to Irvine Park to see the bears!

A quaint park powered by donations

When Spring's warm sunshine brightens the day, birds sing, and people like me with a camera in hand, head out to play. For the WHOLE day.  At a quaint spot called Irvine Park.

Not an effing chance with this hungry cat in the house.  She's mad. She's cute when she's calm, but that intense look of "WTH(F)… Continue reading May 1st the day when Mrs. goes MAD
