I am so excited. Finally I got out for a drive with my husband on Saturday and it was a glorious day. It was a pleasant surprise that I was able to get around a little bit. Hurray for progress!
We drove over to the north side of the Golden Gate Bridge and there was an ambassador there to great us. He was a bit of a ham for the camera, don’t you think?

I know how great I feel to get out with my camera after just a few days of “deprivation” so I can only imagine how you must be feeling, Laura! Your pelican looks almost coy, but that lively eye contradicts that…nice shot of a goofy-looking but gorgeous bird! I love it!
