Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

In San Rafael, CA, see a close up of pinkish orange maple leaves. Thin branches are visible. The color is intense and wonderful.

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

The serenity felt while taking in this view of the Pacific Ocean was a gratitude moment. The sea in Bodega Bay, CA was calm. Small waves are visible, including the most prominent one lapping over a rock near the middle right of this photo. Also, very hard to see is a flock of birds below the horizon line on the right half. This soft blue color of the Pacific Ocean and the sky above is peaceful. May you all have peace today and always.

When your spirit cries for peace, come to a world of canyons deep in the old land, feel the exultation of high plateaus, the strength of moving waters, the simplicity of sand and grass, the silence of growth.

August Frugé

The Grand Canyon is known to be magnificent. This photo is a view of the geology, of a massive rock wall with strata of horizontal layers accumulated over time. The colors are shades of orange and dark gray with the strata layers off white. One feels very small next to the wonders of earth's grandeur.

Golden poppy flowers are the focus. One bee is hovering over the flower with petals completely open in the lower area of the photo. Other poppies above this one are partially open. Foliage and seed pods are visible along with some small purple flowers at the upper portion of this vertical photo. As the California state flower, they appear cheerful and abundant. These flowers grace my Rotary Club’s Peace Garden.

Vines growing over two Zen statues grace a hilly yard in West Marin. Ferns and vines grow in the foreground with two oak trees growing behind. The statues of Buddhist monks were crafted with gentle smiles. May peace and serenity spread naturally just like these vines.

Here is a close-up phone photo of a raspberry-colored hibiscus flower. In the center of the pedals are multiple yellow pollen grain stamens with red stigma at the tips of the five styles resembling a star. Shadows appear on the pedals from the sun reflecting on the backside of this lovely and delicate hibiscus flower.

Buddy Guy at Luther Burbank Center For The Arts, Santa Rosa, CA - August 13, 2025

Buddy Guy performed in Santa Rosa, CA on August 13, 2025 at the Luther Burbank Center For The Arts. Here he is on stage with a blue and white polka dot Fender Stratocaster electric guitar. He is wearing a blue Legends baseball cap, overalls and a long sleeved white shirt with blue flowers and green leaves. He is singing and not playing the guitar in this phone photo. The audience was overjoyed to see and hear Buddy perform the blues at 89 years old. His son joined the band on guitar near the end of the concert. I was blessed to experience this memorable event!

The simple beauty of lavender colored pennyroyal flowers growing around a fence post with barb wire was irresistible. I had to pull my car over for a few photos. The aged vertical wood post appears to have green moss and lichen growing on it adding another texture to the rough grain. Lavender colored pennyroyal flowers are growing upwards close to three sections of horizonal rusty barb wire. They are beautiful globe-like little flowers separated by thin short sections of stalk. The growth tapers to progressively smaller flowers all the way to the tips. The bonus to the beauty is the intense fragrance. Here is one more photo of lavender colored pennyroyal flowers growing near a cow pasture along an aged barb wire and wood post fence. The rough wood appears to have various green moss and lichen growing on it. This is in Woodacre, CA.

20 years ago, on June 8, 2005, a new Rotary Club in District 5150 (Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo Counties) was chartered. We began meeting weekly in 2002. I was the Charter President for the first five years. 🍾💙🕊️

#Rotary #RI #RotaryInternational #District5150 #RCWM #WestMarin #20thAnniversary
The image signifies the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Rotary Club of West Marin being chartered with District 5150. It shows a vibrant blue-sky day with white clouds and some balloons in the air. There is also a path with colorful flowers on both sides. There appears to be a person walking at the end of the path on the horizon at the base of the image. The Rotary symbol in the sky is next to the name of my club. Below this is a gold rim around a black circle noting the 20-year anniversary in text. I started gathering members in 2002 with weekly meetings.

Turkey tail mushrooms in shades of cream to dark brown are growing up two sections of a slightly leaning Strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo). The closer section of the tree is not in focus. Instead, the distant mushrooms are what I chose to focus on. The rough bark of the tree is reddish-brown. Green foliage is seen as ground cover beyond the mushroom covered tree. This is a phone photo.
