The flowers are gorgeous, and I always enjoy your photography. I especially like the water lilies.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures! I've put together a gallery of Mission pictures on pbase. A collection of pictures taken over the past few years, and something I can add to in the future. If you want to see more of the Mission, go here: http://www.pbase.com/thegripps/missionsjc

Wonderful pictures. I so enjoyed touring that Mission a couple of years ago.

You live in an amazing corner of the U.S. It is beautiful out there and we often wished we would have driven further West from Michigan back in 1978 instead of stopping at the base of the Rockies.

Unfortunately our So. Cal. daughter might be moving to San Fran in the near future so we'll have some new stompin' grounds to explore.

Have a wonderful trip to STJ soon!

Beautiful, Margo! Thanks so much for posting. I agree that it's great to see some COLOR. We're still all grays and browns here.
