Day in the beach life.....

We headed out to a beach day...



Walking around with 11 year olds and see their faces light up





















at the feel of the ocean on their toes, and then get a read on the life on the carnival atmosphere was enlightening.


Venice Beach with it's cacophony of street beat, taggers and peace-niks has a long stretch of cool Pacific ocean and a trail of unfettered riff-raft.















Daily rituals of exercise
starts early...





Roaming
the wilds
one can see tourists and
locals converge...







































Medical marijuana storefronts abound...
and a line forms at well, high noon.































































Fast food...
carefree careening on bike paths
and hawkers
are up and out.































































and picture taking is the order of the day.....

















































































A rinse by frisbee method is employed...


Get rid of the bits...please.


































But we brought our own fun...and warmed ourselves as a summer day implores us to do...


































































































Tough day only in the fact that the bucket broke, but ohhhh so much fun.
