Morning fog lifts revealing wooded hills. I could not resist the first ripe fig spotted. I reach out and the fig drops to my fingers. Heavenly. Fig Newtons never tasted like this.




Dear Linda,
Very nice!! I love seeing the early morning fog, and the areas you are walking through are so pretty! Cool weather here, perfect for running and just a couple weeks to Chicago!
Sincerely,
Bill

What a magical day! Starting with the mystical fog, wooded Mountain View’s, silvery olive trees, and the best—-that fresh picked fig! And oh yes, always the beautiful flower picture. Thanks for taking me along on your journey-Barbara 🤠🥾
