Another perfect summer Sunday. I found myself once again in Balboa Park. This afternoon, there was no better place in the world.

Please enjoy some photos…

  1. I love your fascination with Balboa Park — your repeat visits cause its dimensions to keep unfolding for the rest of us. I had that same sort of fascination with some sites in Toronto (Leslie Spit comes to mind), and now I find I keep returning to False Creek here in Vancouver.
