We were back in Millbrae last week to visit family. The tulip trees were in their full glory. More Millbrae pictures soon.

Two chairs, Millbrae, CA

I love nice places to sit. This looks a winner.

Japanese maple, Millbrae, CA

Sigh....I have a few Japanese maples here in Florida, but they struggle. In Millbrae they are almost an invasive species. Every yard has at least one.

Ahhh the posh life.

Driveway, Millbrae, CA

A strange bleak area in a town full of plant life.

Fence and bench, Millbrae, CA

So many angles here in California. For a state so vast the houses are usually on small plots of land and close. Of course, a lot of the land in the state is, wonderfully, declared wild and preserved. An idea Florida could use.

House, Millbrae

This needed color too.

House and shadows, Millbrae, CA

I have made a lot of these house pictures in black and white for the graphic values. This house needed to be in color.

California light is so wonderfully dramatic.

Nandina, Millbrae, CA

Nandina, or Heavenly Bamboo, grows rampant in Florida. It is listed as an invasive plant here. I have two very well behaved ones at home. But they have to be watched as their red berries are a favorite of birds and spread that way. I do not think California has the same problem. These bushes have been this size for the last few years. Lovely leaves all year round.
