Bay Beauty, Blooms, & Bunnies

It was just the two of us for Easter, and we were running on spontaneity, but the day turned out to be lovely in so many ways. It began with an hour bike ride in the morning around the neighborhood and back to our kids’ elementary school. We have a lot of hills near our house, so we head for the flats! Although, we attempted more hills in the midst of the flats, executing them perfectly! We’re a little out of shape because of knee and back issues, but cycling is good for both, so we’re taking baby steps. But yesterday was a work out and it felt great! And we love this cool bench that sends a vital message for children

After the ride, we headed south, enjoying a scenic drive along the San Francisco Bay. A seafood lunch called us, so we accepted the invitation. Afterwards, we walked around town, and for Easter, it was surprising to see all the shops open and the town hopping! (no pun intended) Spring flowers smiled at us around each corner, the sun was shining, but the temp wasn’t hot, even a bit cool with the breeze at times. It was sweet to see little children dressed up in their adorable Easter outfits. We saw a cute little girl in the restaurant randomly wish a stranger a Happy Easter. She had the biggest smile on her face. Precious!
A beautiful day on the bay! And, we saw the Easter Bunny! How lucky, right? ๐Ÿ˜

Ferry ride, anyone?
The fountain and sculpture in Tiburon’s Main Street plaza
is called “Coming About“. 
It’s a kinetic sculpture with a nautical theme, featuring five abstract forms
that move over an infinity-edged fountain. Tiburon in Spanish means
shark, so these fins are representative of the town.
A sight for smiles! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Crossing Bridges

I’ve posted about the Golden Gate Bridge before,ย 
but I felt like a second time would be okay.
San Francisco is practically in our back yard
and regardless of how many times I’ve crossed this bridge,
I’m always in awe of it’s glory!ย 
I hope you enjoy again, if you’ve already seen my post from last July. ๐Ÿ™‚

Burnt orange marvel
stretches to the sky
with arms of strength

Standing proud,
as tourists bike
and walk by its side

Boats glide below,
a rainbow of sails
parade on the bay

Ocean glistens
in all its glory
fog stays away

An awesome sight
to appreciate,
Our Glorious Golden Gate
