up against the wall

Hubby did the honors of taking a snap of me and my bestie in our garden sanctuary before we had to leave for the San Diego airport. He forget to tell us to pose!
I figured once I had fought the traffic to get to San Diego I ought to stay a while, especially since I found out there is a camera shop there that cleans DSLR sensors while you wait...in between serving customers...oh, and it doesn't open until 12:30 pm (I was at the airport at 10 am).
So I had a lot of waiting time between 10 am and the finished cleaning at 2:30, but it was worth it!
The heat and the hubbub in San Diego make me really appreciate the cool and calm here in Oceanside.
