There was some really aesthetically pleasing cloud action in March. First-class stuff. Also, the clouds dropped lots of rain, which was also excellent.
A place for my photos and thoughts and stuff.

What are these weird green things lying deep in the soil?

Classic vintage army men! I must have buried them decades ago.

Pretty sure it had something to do with asking for treats. Or a walk. Or a nap.

Bolsa Chica Wetlands, Pacific Coast Highway, and the Pacific Ocean.

Prickly pear blossom…

Sparrow on the lookout…

Beef chow fun.

Indian lunch buffet!

Looking north.

Looking south.

Looking west.

Positively NOT going for a hike.

Antique crazy quilt. Totally stunning in every way. Circa late 1880s. Just, wow.

Some lovely antique, hand-painted china.

The ever-popular Barrel of Buttons.

Beads, beads, BEADS!

The colors! The colors!

Official greeter.

Self portrait in a library used book store.

The architecture is weird and wonderful.

They have one of those Chinese terra cotta warriors there.

Keeping an eye on things to make sure everyone is studying and learning.

Self-portrait of California girls at the beach in winter.

Smile yourself, Zoltar.

Waiting for the perfect wave. Which is pretty much all they ever do…wait. Even when the surf is good…they wait. Actual surfing doesn’t *really* seem to be their thing.

If you get a magnifying glass, you can just about make out the Newport Pier.

Pastries. Is there anything they can’t do?
