I still can't believe so many souls did not even notice a huge bright yellow thing right in front of them! LOL I live for sights like that! Enought that I go back every year to visit it a few times. I am trying to figure out which acacia it is. I had thought it was Acacia dealbata but then I saw that Acacia baileyana looks so similar to Acacia dealbata. Shoot!

This was taken at the San Leandro Bay (you can see it) just as it flows into the San Francisco Bay. I believe it is still considered San Leandro and not Alameda.

Tonight we were in San Francisco. I was so surprised to see the plum trees (the ones with that great dark purple leaves) in full flower. Rain this weekend so I hope it does not knock off all the blooms prematurely!

I jinxed our warm weather! Today it got cold! Dropped to the 50s! BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
