We took a three hour drive today, north from Venice up to Arroyo Grande, California, to visit Barb, our friend and the wife of my friend Jim, who just passed away. It was a beautiful drive up through a lovely part of California and along the coast for a while. A while after we got through the San Marcos Pass, we began to see California Live Oaks. These are stunning trees, with gnarly branches, and whenever I see them I want to stop and photograph them. I only stopped once today to photograph, but I wanted to stop about a dozen times because there were so many beautiful scenes. But we had promises to keep and miles to go before we sleep.
Yes, Robert Frost! So nice of you to visit with Jim's wife.I hope your thrill of seeing the Oak trees helped with feelings of sadness... bsk
