 Martin: Here is a feather that was on the stones outside our front door this morning. It's about seven inches long and an iridescent blue that doesn't reproduce in the picture all that well.   

Me: We made it to San Diego! 10 of us are staying in a condo on Mission Bay and right across the street from Mission Beach. Sunny and cool made for a perfect biking day. Today we rode along the coast through Torrey Pines, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Encinitas, Carlsbad and back. Beautiful.

 Martin: Flowers in the coastal sand dunes that somehow survived the heat of the last couple of days.

Me: The news predicted a freeze last night. Doesn't happen often here, but we brought the flowers in just in case. The rest of the country is having epic snow & ice storms.

Martin: Daniel is 'baby sitting' a young Bearded Dragon while the owner is away.

Me: Friendly gal from our neighborhood McDonald's drive-thru handing me my near daily hot chocolate with whipped cream.

 Martin: Last day of the school holidays so took the boys for a drive to just past Richmond on the western edge of Sydney to where the Blue Mountains start. This shot is looking south. Hot day at 44 degrees.

Me: Who needs a GPS when you got Harley! Running errands with my girl.

Martin: Here is a pic from the city - Centrepoint tower, tallest building in Sydney at 1,000 feet.

Me: Palm trees and a pretty Arizona sunrise. Took this photo at the main entrance of The Pointe when Bob and I were leaving to meet some friends for a bike ride in Scottsdale.

Martin: I took four juniors to the beach - two friends of Adrian and Daniel came along. I then got them fish and chips for lunch. Someone left their shoes behind.

Me: Bob and I biked one of our favorite routes today. The 60 mile ride took us past Canyon Lake & Tortilla Flats. Enjoyed the beautiful sunny day with a few others from Team Vitesse.

Martin: Tree. :-)

Me: This is the gym where Bob and I spend many mornings (lifting weights, yoga class, swimming, steam room). It's also where I used to work for 15 years as Activities Coordinator. The gym is part of the Arizona Grand Resort (formerly known as The Pointe which is what we still call it). It's a 5 minute walk down the hill from our home so super duper convenient. We love that! It's also a very quiet gym now, never crowded, as the club membership decreased when the resort changed ownership. The new company removed the tennis courts, volleyball court and extra activity programs. :-(. This morning Wendy met me at the gym and we did a Pilates class.
