…until I remember that time that I saw an older gent getting his sail ready, and a gust of wind came up, and dragged him on his face across the beach and through the shallows.
I laughed until my sides hurt. Good times!
Looks like fun…

At the local craft emporium…
It’s the Disneyland of craft stores…
Plus they sell old school candy sticks and licorice button assortments. What else could you ask?
“Ultimate Challenge”
That’s the official name of the statue. But no one calls it that. It’s just “naked surfer” or “nude dude.” Both of which are far more apt titles.
Last rays…
Golden Hour magic.
Santa Ana River
Always wanted to know what it looked like on the other side of this.
So now I know. Impressed that it has water in it in the summertime.
Very dystopian looking if you ask me.
Although this bird found it acceptable.
Scenes from a walk…
Alfie says, let’s get this show on the road!
Golden hour shadows.
The full range of the human experience…
…in chalk, on the sidewalk.
I had to look this up this tree…it’s called a golden medallion tree. Beautiful!
Pink plumeria.
I’m always up for some weird cloud action.
August at Bolsa Chica wetlands…
No birds. Although there was a jumping fish that I never managed to get a photo of.
No birds. Although there were some butterflies that I never managed to get a photo of, because they wouldn’t hold still.
There was this guy, though. A side-blotched lizard, which I’ve never seen before. They are quite territorial, and he kindly escorted me out of the area.
Some day I’ll take the walk to the mesa. But you can bet it won’t be in August.
Guess the name of the street…
Hint: it’s the name of a tree.
Brown skimmer…
I’m always creeped out a little by dragonflies at first, and then, the more I look at them, amazed by how wonderfully strange and beautiful they are. I do appreciate the fact that this guy was kind enough to wave for the camera.
Sights from a walk…
On our way…
There’s several enormous plumerias on our route. I can never get them past the “dead looking stick” stage.
Somebody loves somebody.
Everything’s peachy so far.
Leaf print.
Weird, beautiful unsettled sky. This is usually a spring or fall thing.
A rare right-angle palm.
Looks complicated.
I’ve always liked this tile that someone stuck on their fence.
A particularly beautiful hibiscus.
Life…uh…finds a way.
Alfie always tries to rile up the neighborhood dogs.
