Back At Home

End of October.
We just watched the 1st anniversary of Wilma go by quietly. I'm sure everyone tuned into the tropical report, just to make sure.

The beaches are empty. They belong to me, for now. No one to pull their chair over closely to me... I can sit on my cell phone and talk all afternoon, sitting by the tide line. I can write my name in the sand, with my toe. I can sit and take endless photo's of the sea gulls, invading my space... begging for my frito's.

Over to my left, are other's just like me... right up to the tide line, low tide, enjoying the solitude of the beach.


The clouds are beautiful this time of year. Lots of colors.
And I can remember why I love every day.

Photo's from my Road Trip Oct 2006 Part I

Driving from the hwy to the mountains that keep the cold ocean air on the coast..I was lucky to catch this sunset. It's also the night of the full moon.
This is a lighthouse I saw, driving up US Coast Hwy 1. Pigeon Point Lighthouse. It's north of Santa Cruz.. Morning fog made the photo even more brilliant.
I love the colors in this photo. The lines of demarcation catch my attention. This was in the valley between the salad fields and the ocean.
This is another photo taken in NM of the lines of demarcation that separate the colors in the landscape.

More landscaped color driving through the Salina's Valley.
