Perfect Fabio, I’ve taken many walks on the shores of La Jolla. What a beautiful way to finish up my day, thank you.
The day was perfect and I could not resist to take a drive to the sea. Thanks so much, Sharon! π

Chere Pierrette, Hope the winter will be shorter and milder for you. Last year you had a very long one. Take care, my friend! My warmest regards! π
Somewhere in the world the flowers are blooming, that warms my heart. Maybe the wind will bring me the fragrance in this cold world.
Wow! You write so beautifully! Bravo, dear Brenda! I wish that your winter will be short this year.
I hope so, too. And no disastrous February like 2015!
Those winters are like geological signatures on our memory. I still remember the winter of 1993. We were living in Canada.
I remember 2 feet of snow on April Fool’s Day. Was it 1996?
At that time we were in a warmer part of the U.S. – Louisiana.
Thank you for this beautiful flowers! We only have iceflowers here but are waiting fΓΆr spring. Take care!
Thanks so much, Kristallina! We will be looking forward to seeing the Nature wake-up in your place. Take care and stay warm! π
I miss La Jolla… π I was in California last December – SF area and Death Valley… maybe next time… π

Shalom, a fabulous February & a great week! π
