Warning -- Trite alert! More d--- flowers! :-)
While scoping out Mission San Jose in Fremont for the NorCal outing (we are going somewhere else), I came across a barn next to a field of wild flowers right in downtown Fremont. It was bordered by flowering trees (not sure what kind: peaches, plums, something). It was pretty, pretty!
So I did an immediate u turn and went back and found a private road. Drove up it and finally found an unfenced field I could skip cross to get closer. (Though I never really got close enough to the barn and windmill, etc.)
Took about eight of these shots, all from slightly different perspectives. So I don't know that this is the BEST one -- they are all about equally good/bad. I realize there are some possible technical criticisms. But they are PRETTY. :-)
Only that night, I started coughing... yup, sick rest of that day, next day, next week. Still have the cough.
Wasn't the smartest thing I have ever done. Sorry to rub it in for those in colder climes, but mid-February is often when California hits early Spring.

Comments are welcome. (But not necessarily on my stupidity.)

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
