Flew United from Chicago to San Francisco as the first leg of my trip, and I loved these pictures of the clouds.  It was truly a beautiful morning!

So apparently, Iowa City/Coralville is the kingdom of all things daffodils.  I swear, I”ve never seen so many!  The city plants them around all the city buildings/monuments, the colleges use them in all their gardens, and most of the locals have a patch or two out front.  Maybe because they bloom so early?

Fearless

Some of the flowers that were blooming on the rooftop garden.  I just love flowers!

Not that I like buzzards, but this was a surprisingly good picture of them 🙂
