Fiery Wet Leaf Against Berry Bush

I got home from my trip to San Francisco last night and it was super! I spent almost all my time helping out my father, and we got a lot of needed projects accomplished! Best of all, it was fantastic to be with him, as it's been a whole year and I missed him so very much. I only see him about once a year so every moment is extremely precious to me.

I did get one day to go to the amazing Academy of Science and I took lots of pictures. I will post some n the next few weeks. (If you visit San Francisco, put it into your itinerary, what an incredible place!)

This picture is another one from the Rogue River Palmerton Arboretum, and as you can see, it seems there's no end to the loveliness found there!

I'm hoping to be back to my usual posting and commenting in the next day or two once I'm settled! I've missed all of you so much and can't wait to see what you've all been posting!! Thanks for all the comments and favorites and as usual, your patience while I've been away! :) And finally, thanks for all the wonderful comments and favorites on my pumpkin picture, it was great fun to carve them and a happy surprise to get a nice picture too! *BIG HUGE HUGS* to all of you!!! :)
