A hawk at SF Botanical Garden 06/19/20
In SF Botanical Garden, I came across a hawk in a tree being harassed by some crows. It was interesting to watch. The hawk was beautiful against the green fir tree, and it was a banded/tagged hawk.

A little stroll in SF Botanical Garden 06/12/20
I was given a “recharge” day at work, and decided to visit one of my special “zen” places- the SF Botanical Garden. The day started off with a light rain, then the sun came out and it was beautiful. Unfortunately, didn’t get many great photos, but it was relaxing nonetheless to be amongst nature in such a beautiful place. A few highlights were the water lillies- particularly this dark ruby red one that shone with the light. Also, there were a few pipeline swallowtail butterflies, but too fast for my camera, I’ll have to try again!
