Jean: glad you like the natural subject matter. Actually a lot of my
inspiriation comes from California. I visit Santa Cruz every year to see my
parents.

My mother does a lot of volunteer work at the UCSC Arboretum, so a lot of
my images come from there. (Including the "friggin' hummingbird"!) I envy
your wildflower trip.

It would be fun to meet when I go out sometime!

Thanks for the suggestion, but a B&B most likely will require a car and I 
won't have one.  I also never stayed in a B&B before and I'm not sure I'm
up for that this trip.  I'm not terribly outgoing, and the idea of staying
in a stranger's home is a little daunting to me.

The whole thing just got more complicated today, unfortunately, too,
because as I was preparing to change a lightbulb I fell and caused
considerable damage to one lower leg.  I got new glasses last week which
bumped up the diopters and the astigmatic correction considerably, thought
I was over the resultant visual miscues but apparently not. :-(  Don't think
anything is broken, but I've re-injured an achilles tendon and maybe some
more miscellaneous parts.  Spent most of the day on ice, probably will call
the doctor tomorrow.  Just showing up with the current plans looks challenging
enough right now, with my "luck of the Irish" in full swing, I'm not
planning to make *any* changes right now. :-)

First, don't let the lack of a car deter you.  Many B&B's offer airport
pickup.

Second, one of the wonderful things about B&B's is you can be a recluse or
you can join in.  If you prefer to just sit quiet thru breakfast, do so and
let everyone else do the talking.  A B&B is a lot more pleasant than a
sterile hotel.  Ugh.  Besides, you need the practice for the day you visit
Graham and Marnie Scholes.  Staying with Marnie will be like staying with a
dear friend.  Having to put up with Graham may not be worth the price but
prehaps you could demand a refund for bravery above and beyond...

Ouch!!  That hurts just reading about it.  Hope it isn't serious and you
are well enough for your trip.

You got that one right too.

Marnie says.... You got that right.
