Local Flavor: Lupine Season

Dang, right? Summer is here. I snagged this shot of Bonnie's sultry lupines after returning from river-swimming with the kids after work. Note the soaking sandals lining the front of our porch to dry in tomorrow's lazy sun.

The wind was sweet today in that almost-melancholy, nostalgic way that has you leaping 10 or 20 years reverse in your mind. Or more? I was thinking about Disneyland in the '80s at one point. The Swiss Family Robinson house has been long-since converted into Tarzan's residence. Oh well.
