some photos from earlier

Here are some photos that go back to my trip with Wendy in mid-August, which have been sitting here on the desktop ever since.
The first three are from Costonoa, a very cool resort-ish place with deluxe tent cabins (heated matress pads!) down the coast between Half Moon Bay & Santa Cruz. Originally discovered by Wendy, she sent me & Tony there as a birthday gift some years ago. (We went again this past weekend, with a couple more friends, as a birthday celebration, which was great fun!)
There are many parks down around there; the 'hills' shots are from a short walk in one of them, and the butterfly is from a creekside walk in the redwoods at Butano State Park.

Oh, and finally a garden shot from 'Hidden Villa' in the Los Altos hills, where we took yet another, longer hike.
