California, I wish I could tie a string around your waist and pull you behind the plane. Just a little closer to your sunshine, my wonderful family, your vast coastline, and, of course Lily's Chinese food on Hopkins street.

| Eucalyptus trees; also invasive; also beautiful |

| Tilden park, I love you. |
