A Walk in the Park

The wife and I went for a nice walk today in Almaden Community Park, located in the San Jose community where my son's family resides.

Hawaii never fails to impress me with its natural beauty, but Almaden Park is testament to the fact that beauty can be created by people who care about where they live.

The Community Center pictured here stands magnificently alongside the Louis Benoist Gardens, a veritable palette of rose bushes created more than 60 years ago. I could not contain my awe at the care given to the roses - not a dead leaf or wilted petal to be seen anywhere.

I didn't even notice it was drizzling.
