Trip Down State -- Post 2

While down state I visited my friend, Marsha. I love hanging out at her retreat-like home. Those of you who know me are aware that I love taking pictures of flowers. Her moon flowers were very cooperative. Here is a series of a moon flower opening.






She also has orchids and what I think she called butterfly flowers.




It was a year ago that I started sprinting toward the finish line to finish the book. Although I've been working on it for 3 years, most of the work was done beginning last September. As a result, I have not had much time off. It was great to go on a hike, go out to the movies, relax, cook a good dinner, and then watch a DVD movie.
