Last day of Summer

Shirtless guises








among carefree conversations

with toes unbound....

how sad to know that summer's end is near.

Electric outposts

Imagine yourself plugging in for an electrical fix....











It's not so far off....

Towers in the water

We were enveloped by the harsh memory of 9/11 for so many days.....

Today, 10 years later the reality of that day got submerged into the pools of water .... I saw water flows and images that reminded me of the towers.

Calm waters help to evaporate the horror of that forbidden day...but I know no one can ever forget.

May those who were most harmed be healed over time....and a nation regain her strength.

Going to the Midway

As of last week, we were in summer....









Reminders of
long days



kettle corn




































and wizzing around the midway, savoring the taste of summer.

Artful posers

Pelicans

who squat and preen











can be seen as contortionists extraordinaire.

Tides and flooding beaches in the Playa

All the way from New Zealand, a large swell coming from that direction is wreaking havoc
on California's shores.


























































While it may be surfer's heaven, the bike path that runs by the coastline, was suddenly covered.














Not a problem for these young boys...


And quite a spectacle for the rest










Hardly a tsunami - even though coincidentally an earthquake did come in at 4.5 today



A day even a crow would crow about.
