Priscilla, I am heading to the peninsula in about two weeks; can't wait to stop by the mission again....this time will be there for close to a month so no excuses :-)

So pleased that you stopped by this mission while you were there Priscilla; this is one of my favorite places, though I have few images of it...I was there about a year ago and they were doing work on it at that time....gorgeous color and contrasts here in your beautiful capture! jd
