anatomy of a good day

in completely non-chronological order, since these photos did not so much load correctly:

hang time in the sunshine with a dear, usually across the state, friend

husband making the drive with me to m's school

(this view is looking out on the bay as we cross the san mateo bridge)

running on the beach with our kids plus two kind-of-like-our kids

holding hands with my sweet ruby girl under a canopy of redwood trees

sitting on this lovely beach in a lovely cove

the joy of small ones at morning music at school

the comedy of trying to capture photographic memories with children

my ruby is a little snuggler-

giving almost 1 year old luke hugs

with teensy flowers (picked and gifted to me by little m) behind my ear, 

a moment with my husband

my little family

sand beneath my toes

the sound of waves, polka-dotted bathing suit & this little girl

incredible beauty of a tree in bloom

(i love spring)

yummy breakfast & discovering a new-to-me spot

sharing the morning with another dear friend

a cappuccino,

even if the day is too warm for a hot drink

life is not always as lovely & picture perfect,

but grateful for the days that are just right.
