Next Saturday is the  Tustin Historical Home Tour. 

It's an annual May tradition in our little town.

I'll be out of town then, so I thought I'd share

some pictures from 2012. 

It's a walking tour of older homes on unusually large lots.

              

But who would expect to meet "Emily"? An emu!

I was captivated.

Emily was curious.

Then pensive, as she was pretty sure I didn't have food.

        

Not known for my moderation, I shot continually, 

from every angle,  like a paparazzi with a diva. 

And then it was done. 

Posing was done, I was excused.

Checking on the weather for Santa Fe ....

hint, hint!

A smile for Sunday ...
