over the bridge to cool down

we escaped the 95 degree heat today and headed into san francisco - a cool 72. it was a slow lazy day spent mostly outside in the grass and exploring the botanical garden. mahala had a great time taking photographs and thinks that one day, she can sell them to pay for her mansion....the ducks and the bridge are hers!
