HAPPY FATHER'S DAY weekend, everyone! A special thought to all those fathers who are overseas, serving their country, and are far away from their families.

Photographed within the city, when I did a short drive yesterday SW of the city. After all the rain we've been having, this image seems a little dazzling, especially when seen at 7:00 a.m.. I'm off on a day trip to visit a forest and botanize a ranch NW of the city. Just hoping the old hips and back can keep going for that many hours : )
