I biked to Golden Gate Park today, and went to visit the Conservatory of Flower. Last time I was there was 10 years ago when I was giving a tour of San Francisco to my parents. I got some picture of the colorful flowers inside, as well as of the nearby rose garden.

This is one of my favorite pictures. I took it while biking in the Cambridge, England, countryside. The sky was laden with steel-blue clouds, the landscape dark and oppresive. The smell of freshly cut hay filled the air moist from the recent storms. Suddenly, sunrays peered through and illuminated the hay stacks. I fell off my bike and grabbed my camera to immortalize this perfect moment.
