Have postponed this post since so many of you were still living in the middle of snow. But this week Spring will start and am roaring to jump into the new season:)
The weather was nice to St Patricks Day – reaching a temp of 93 degr.F

Added a little blurb about the current Header in my “About” section

Balboa Park looks festive when the cherry trees are blooming at several places.
What a Joy!
The crown of this cherry tree reminded me on a mushroom.
*
*
Balboa Park is also a cultural center. Several museums which do not charge visitors:)
Am sitting on the lawn of the restaurant to get the best view for my watercolor.
The Henri Moore sculpture in the foreground was part of a modern art exhibit in the garden of the restaurant at the time I took this pic.

Top of the dome (pic above) is on the right. On the left is a tower with what looks like tile work.
Have been working forever on a watercolor of these two.

A reflection of the building across in this window. The blue on top is the sky.
As you can see a variety of architecture!

Any day is an excellent day at Balboa Park, San Diego!

Spring calls for changes – voila, I did with my header …

Its name -Balboa- reminds me to Rocky Balboa (starred by Sylvester Stallone) character in a movie.
