It's starting to get cold in Montana, so my mind is wandering to warmer climes. About a year and a half ago I visited the old Spanish mission at San Juan Capistrano down in southern California, and it was definitely warm there, so I'm posting a few of the pictures I took.
As you can tell, it was a brilliantly sunny day when I was there, and the gardens in the Mission were bursting with color.
I suspect things weren't always so lush-- that some of this magnificent gardening came about to attract tourists. But so what. It's a lovely place and I hope I get a chance to return (like the swallows) some day. In the meantime, these pictures remind me of a wonderful day out in the sunshine.
