purple + yellow makes pretty

this past weekend in san francisco, mountain view, danville and san bruno seemed very mellow.

i read two books, ran everyday, visited friends, hung out with chickens and went shopping with my aunt.

one of the highlights was driving home from the city.  my GPS broke somehow, so i had to use my better judgement to find our way home.  i have done this drive so many times so i totally thought i could just follow my usual way... maybe some signs that say los angeles...?

i got lost.  oh did i get lost.

i was on some random highways where people were able to drive across.

so my GPS on my phone tells me three hours into my drive that i had another five hours....

i was so bummed.  this drive takes me six to seven hours total.

at least i have a great traveler that kept me laughing and then he would sleep the majority. 

the upside about it though, on our way to bakersfield, the hills opened up to the prettiest lavender hills on the left and amazing mustard field hills on our right.  there were grazing cows on both sides and then the full moon was out with a beautiful blue sky.  i couldn't stop smiling.  was this real?  where am i?  jackson kept pointing out the white cows, the brown cows and how pretty the hills were.  so glad jackson enjoys the earth's beauty at his age.  

that drive that took longer than expected was so refreshing.  

i kept thinking to myself, how could people not believe in God?  like really.  it was breathtaking.  who else provided such beauty?  i want to go back there with a photographer sometime and see what they create.  it would be a photographer's dream.

my good friend monti was in san fran with me last time and here are some of his rad photos from it...

he is the v.p. and one of the photographers for indie rock reviews.
