La Jolla, California

These are some images

 shot of a short walk I took

in La Jolla on Sunday afternoon.

 

 



Simply Socks

This is a simple story of one pair of socks.

This pair of socks has one tie dyed stripe on each leg

.....& I love them!

This sock company is called Stance.

I've been wearing them all winter here in San Diego

& picked up my pair from South Coast Wahines

in Ocean Beach.

I kept coming across other places that sell them as well...

Flight in Park City & Mimi & Red in San Diego

So get your socks on & go (or just go online)!

 

 



Spring....it's Springing

I haven't written for a while

but it's time for some

new inspirations...

SPRING!!!

Ocean Beach has many signs

of a pretty impending springtime

& these purple flowers along the coast

on my daily run remind me of how

lucky I feel to live here!

CHEERS!!

 



Christmas Cheer... & Beer

The holidays are very well upon us

meaning there is a whole lot of yummy

Christmas beer to consume.

 

Anchor Brewery (from San Francisco) makes my

very favorite Christmas ale

Anchor Christmas

& every year it tastes different.

2004 was the first time I had this beer & it

tasted like gingerbread cookies.

This year it tasted a lot like nutmeg- still yummy!

 

Merry Christmas Y'all!

 



Pack Your Bags...But Don't Check Them

I love hopping on planes.

I love airports.

I don't even mind delayed flights much.

 

All of these things mean I get to

travel & I love traveling.

 

There is a little game I like

to play called Not Checking Bags.

Personally, lugging a suitcase

around a city...

on a subway...

up stairs...

= no fun.

 

This week I'm going to Boston.

Here is some insight into how to

not check a bag for this trip

(when the weather has cooled of just

enough to need sweaters).

 

Here's what I'm taking...

 

 

Not pictured is a pair of dark grey

jeans (that go with everything)

& a couple of tees for layers.

All of the items can be mixed & matched.

 

I'll wear a sweater, boots & jeans

on the plane. That takes away

from some of the packing.

 

The rest will fit into my carry-on

& I'm ready to go!

 

 

 

 

Catalina 2.0

These are some of the views from Catalina Island.

Catalina lies 22 miles west of San Pedro, California.

Sadly, some of the photos I shot were lost into

an email reformatting abyss that I

have not enough knowledge of to recover,

but have learned a great lesson about

emailing forty photos en masse from an iPhone.

(Do not delete photos from your phone until

they have been safley recieved to an email account)

 

Let's go....

Check out the parasailer behind our boat (behind another boat)

 

 

 

 



Captivating Catalina

I couldn't pass up a quick post as I "staycation"

for the week in San Diego with one

of my best friends.

 

We just took a trip out to Catalina Island

to watch an old friend from Texas run a half

marathon on the island.

 

The views were stunning. I don't think

I've been anywhere that beautiful since

visiting Maui & Kauai. The island

also has a very European feel.

But, luckily, it's only a short 2 hour drive

& 1 hour boat ride from San Diego!

 

Here is a taste as I edit the rest of the photos...
