Visit to nature

The Bay Area was hit by a rainstorm this weekend, which actually made it a nice couple of days to get out for a walk. Today we just took a quick spin around our block and through the closest park, but yesterday we went just a little further afield, to the Mission Bay neighborhood just south of us. The trees and flowers are nicely in bloom, a nice contrast with the gray day.

I often feel fortunate to live in a city with easy access to nature, even if that's somewhat manufactured nature, but never more so than right now.
