Flew with the birdies,
to Tiburon California,
did a lot of hiking,
relaxing,
and sightseeing,
in The Marin Headlands.
Celebrating and staying fit with my daughter. She and her hubby are expecting twin boys!
It was our last mother-daughter time together before she becomes a mama too.
Cheers to you with the beauty of life~

Very nice sceneries and those birds flying. Congratulations to your daughter and her husband!
Thank you. They are both very excited and soon to be very tired 👶👶
Super photos of this gorgeous stretch of CA. Your daughter is beautiful and twins – how exciting! Will these be your first grandchildren? Babies are so much fun (for grandparents particularly)!
They will be the first. It is a pretty amazing and beautiful process to be a part of. Hugs to you Eliza & be well <3
Congratulations, dear Cindy. Boys are such a big blessing. I’m enjoying my grandson a lot.
Hugs ~ Wendy
Thank you Wendy. I am so looking forward to seeing the “twining” unfold. How wonderful it would be to have a twin 👶👶
How wonderful! Congratulations to everyone. Very exciting time. Your pictures are wonderful and your daughter is lovely. I’m so happy for you. <3
Awww, hugs to you sweet friend <3 <3
Cheers to you, Cindy! Thank you for sharing your beautiful visit (gorgeous photos) with your beautiful daughter. Twins! Congratulations all the way around.
So kind & so appreciated! Be well Jennie <3
Thank you, Cindy. Best to you. 🙂
<3 <3
Some people enjoy the beautiful gifts prepared for us all (there is more than enough.) Then there are others.
It is so important to appreciate the beauty that is all around us. <3
Nice pictures. Your daughter has the “Glow.” A wonderful priceless time.
She does have that glow. I wish it would never leave her <3
Oh the birds look amazing !☺
Birds just outclass us cuz of course, they can fly away.

Hugs to you Patricia & be well my friend <3
Regen bitte zu mir, wenn es geht, herzliche Grüße von mir zu dir.
Danke, mein Freund und Segen für Sie!
Congratulations Cindy……How exciting! 🙂
Grazie Ally. It is definitely a major event in all our lives 👶👶
🙂 🙂
Congrats on the coming grandbaby, Abuela!
I’ve always imagined Tiburon as such a magical place. I’m so glad you could visit it with your daughter. Thanks for the gorgeous photos. Your shots of the pelicans are amazingly clear. Sigh… the blue sky… the birds, the boats on the water, and those views! Hugs on the wing.
Hugs back to you sweet friend. The sky definitely had haze from the fires, but even that can not detract from the natural beauty <3
Congratulations on the imminent arrival of your grandchildren what a great occasion to look forward to, are they your first? How lovely to have two at once, my Grandma was an identical twin and my I have identical girl twin Aunties too. Those birds in flight are really magnificent, a couple of them look like they’re sat on the wind.
This means, my dear Charlotte, that you have an increased probability for twins yourself, since twins are carried by the female side of the equation. I think identical twins are awesome and lucky to have each other, all their lives. <3 <3
Spectacular place, beautiful daughter, bountiful future: blessed mother’s both of you!
Awww, so nice & so appreciated <3 <3
Congratulations Cindy! I think you’re going to enjoy Grand-mothering twin boys. The landscapes are splendid!
I think we are going to have two-tons of fun!
I got this call today, “Grandma this is Michael….”
I said, “Who?”
He said, “MIchael?”
I repeated, “Who???”
He said, exasperated, “Come on grandma, it’s your first born grandson Michael…..”
I said, “Michael, I am sorry, but I am pretty sure I am not your grandma…”
Laughing…… Hilarious!
Your daughter is lovely, Cindy. And special times are ahead for you as the grandmother of twins: double trouble…double fun…twice the love.
I am sending my warmest wishes for good health and happiness for your daughter, you, and the new babies – all the way from South Carolina. Bless you all.
Ah, thank you so much Sheila. We appreciate and gratefully accept your blessings and return them to you and yours <3
I know how you feel. We had to let go when they went to college. Now I’m expecting my first grandchild. My daughter is due in December. I’m happy and sad at the same time.
Yes! I am a bit nervous too, hoping the twins will be okay. Love to you Suzanne <3
What a treat to see a photo of your lovely daughter and mama-to-be. Twins! Oh my goodness what an exciting time. I’m so happy for all of you, Cindy.
I laughed at your first photo. I’m not sure why it struck me as so funny, but something about the way they beaks are tucked in made me think of a cartoon. What a gorgeous image.
Ahhh…
I am so grateful for my talented and kind blogging friends, like you! <3
Peli-i-Cans just completely crack me up. They are pretty amazing birds. Watching them dive, bomb fish, hold them in their pouch, and gulp them down in one swallow, is ridiculous enough. But the way they fly is even more ridiculous. They make it seem they are sitting on air.
What a simply gorgeous daughter, and such sweetness… being a grandparent is one of the purest forms of joy on the planet I always think… hope you have the chance to revel in it…
You are so kind Valerie.
I am very glad you experience this, and recognize how remarkable it is!
I do hope I can revel in too <3
Your daughter is beautiful and looks like you. Many congratulations for the impending birth of twins!!
Thank you Kerry for such kind thoughts <3
Such wonderful news, Cindy! Your beautiful daughter looks so much like you! 🙂 <3 All the best for your daughter, the impeding birth as well as the whole family.
I have been thinking about you a lot lately. The news from California are simply devastating. It breaks my heart to think about the terrifying fires. Xx
The situation in California is terrible. It is hard to keep track of the new fires. See: http://www.calfire.ca.gov/general/firemaps There are fires burning near the redwoods in Sequoia National Park. If the Sequoias burn, it is a tragedy beyond compare for the world. I had a dream last night about the ancient bristlecone pines burning. These are the oldest living non-clonal organisms on earth. Being amongst them is a deeply spiritual experience. What terrible legacy of destruction we humans are leaving on this planet. When I flew back to Southern California from Northern Cali, the flight was delayed for hours due to smoke. The view from the plane was nothing short of surreal. The sky was this deep opaque purple with red stripes on the horizon. The cities and landmarks as we flew over them were unrecognizable, pools of black alternating with city lights that were a strange glowing orange color. It was disconcerting and looked like another planet. Many of the fires are started by arsonists who just want to see the world burn, and of course, when is the last time our president has visited a national park outside of Camp David because of his love for nature? I wonder how we imagine we can live separate from the natural world?
Thank you my friend for thinking of California, and my daughter, her husband, and the twins. I love all the aforementioned, and wish I could protect everything and everyone on this beautiful planet. I know you wish the same. Love to you <3
OMG, your daughter is gorgeous, Ms. Knoke ! ! !
Ahhhh thank you, her most beautiful attribute is her sweet <3 Hugs to you and happy weekend!
It’s such a beautiful part of the world that is sadly getting devastated by uncontrollable fires. Wishing your daughter the best as she enters her new role!
Thank you. The fires are devastating and they are not even close to over yet. There will be more, and the temps are still way too high.
Absolutely beautiful photos Cindy. I can almost (just almost) imagine the wonderful feeling you must have about becoming a grandma. How exciting!! Congratulations 🙂
It is pretty incredible. I think I was more relaxed when I was expecting. Now I have three people to worry about <3
I can understand that!
<3 <3
Lovely pics. Congratulations to your daughter and husband.
Thanks much & happy weekend <3
Congratulations, Cindy!
Mille grazie!
How exciting for you! I have twin granddaughters turning 12 this month. They’re so much fun!
Oh my gosh! That’s awesome. My brain still can’t get around surviving the first six months! Laughing…..
You had a lovely day up there. Congratulations on your exciting news!
Thank you! And loveliest day possible to you too.
Thank you Cindy!
Lovely views. Beautiful smile. Congrats (to the mothers who do so much work rearing and nurturing society). – Oscar
Thanks Oscar & be well my friend.
Gorgeous! I remember those views very well.
They are pretty iconic views aren’t they!
Your daughter is beautiful, Cindy! Congratulations! Thank you for sharing the great news with us. 🙂 <3
Thank you more for your very kind response <3
your daughter is gorgeous!
Thank you. Her greatest beauty is her kindness and compassion.
Thank you for your lovely photographs of nature and your family. Your daughter looks like she has the same kindness and decency that you have, Cindy.
Such a lovely thing to say Charles. She has the best heart and always has. It takes kindness to see and value it my friend. Thank you for your kind soul.
Beautiful post and what a lovely time and place shared with your daughter, Cindy! 😍
It was special. Hugs to you <3
Looks magical Cindy. Beautiful daughter. And holy moly the size of that beak! 🙂 <3
Them beaks are made for fishun! <3 🦆
