The tulips were not out, but the poppies were. 

It was a beautiful day in San Francisco, California

Little Libraries

While many cities are closing libraries, little libraries are popping up in many places. We have seen them in Europe and our neighborhoods. The one pictured here is in Multnomah Village, Portland, Oregon. People are free to take or deposit a book. It is a throwback to paper editions. I still like holding a real bound paper book. There are at least two of these in the village, We have donated some of our volumes to help the process.

Nelson's Column, Trafalgar, London

Each time we have been to London we have ended up at Trafalgar enjoying all that it holds. Note Elizabeth's Tower in the distance over the houses of Parliament.

Favorite Photos: London. England

This photo I took in London seems to summarize some of the city. Here you see the window of a double deck bus, part of Westminster Abbey, Elizabeth Tower (home of Big Ben) and the London Eye.

The Spanish Steps, Rome, Italy

Perspective: The top photo is looking up the Spanish Steps and the bottom photo is looking from the Spanish Steps (with a long lens). I like the bottom photo as the men are about to snap their necks checking out the young women. That's Italy.
