A place for my photos and thoughts and stuff.
Took a little me-time, and went out to the Newport Back Bay to see what was going on.
Aside from these efforts to keep houses from falling into the bay, not much.
It’s fun to drive through, though. It doesn’t feel like you’re in a densely populated suburb.
The willets were out in force.
The day was clear, and there was a beautiful view of Saddleback.
It’s a pleasant way to spend part of the day.
A terrifyingly large staghorn fern…looks like an alien life form with bad intentions.
The color of these primroses was wild!
Just a bee doing helpful bee stuff.
Poppies…
Protea…
The water lilies were lovely.
It was a nice afternoon of flower-peeping at Sherman Gardens with a good friend.
If you’re in Southern California and haven’t been there, you should go. It’s cheap and one of our underrated gems.
Nice view from the park.
Alfie is wondering how to get down to where all of the playground equipment is
Different park. Still a nice view though.
The Newport coast, looking beautiful.
A subtle reminder of the time of year…
An Orange County classic!
That’s a lot of good eatin’ right there…
This instantly became one of my favorite stained-glass windows ever…
Me, looking at all that smoked fish…
Another stained glass beauty…
With a front door like this, you know it’s gonna be good…
Excellent advice for living added, for free!
Crab Cooker for the win!
