San Miguel de Allende in Mexico, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has a few rooftop bars with a view. Here are the churches of the Centro viewed from the top of the Rosewood Hotel at dusk on a warm February evening.

There are big jacaranda trees in my sister’s house in San Miguel. They are just coming into bloom.

I am back from visiting my sister who lives in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico, my first trip to San Miguel and only my second trip to Mexico altogether. The first one was so very long ago.

Of course it was photo heaven for me. I’ll be posting more than one photo for awhile, I think, since there were so very many wonderful images. Here are the first two.

One more scenic shot from my recent trip to New York City. From the plane as it banked left, with Queens below us and Manhattan island in the upper right.

Our friends with the beautiful garden (see a different view of the same scene in the post below) have a pool, shiny like glass in the warm, still air the other evening.

I’ve lived in the Seattle area for twelve years now, and this is my first visit to Discovery Park in Magnolia, today. How beautiful it is.

At the charming town of Poulsbo, WA recently, we saw this view outside a coffee shop. I took a similar photo in 2011 but I like this one better, even if the paint shows wear.

It’s going to be raining for a week, so here’s a bit of sunny scenery to get you through it. This view is around the block from my house.
