I often meander about Balboa Park on Sunday. Today being Valentine’s Day, I naturally had to take photographs depicting love, and love of life in Balboa Park. Here they are!

    1. I do feel very fortunate. Hey–I stumbled upon something this morning that you might very interesting. A guy I met while walking along has a cool prototype for a desalination device! I’m going to blog about it tonight once I get home from work. It’s a brilliant but fairly simple idea–I don’t know how original it is, but it seems like a workable idea…

  3. I liked the photo of the two children watching the woman paint. Also, with you, I speculated on the will you marry me question. The answer had to be yes, right? 🙂 –Curt
