    fun to see whales...San Diego is on one of the migratory paths so we could see them twice a year but we have to have luck each time to see them

    We were in Magdalena Bay one year as the momma grey's brought the babies into the bay to eat and learn to swim properly. Seriously. The babies rode on mommy's back so they learned to go up and down in the water. Truly life altering to watch...sigh

    Faith, I WARNED you about the sun...didn't I??????? Where are the pix of the plein air artists? One year you posted the work in progress so neat to see!!!

    Joni - loved the beach picture and the writing.  Glad you had a good time and the weather cooperated.  And how cool to see the whales.  I keep wanting for DH to take me on an Alaskan cruise to see the whales.  Maybe one of these years.

    Hope everyone is staying cool and out of this unbearable heat.  Five minutes outside and you are wringing wet with sweat!  And that is without doing anything except standing in the shade!!!!  It is not supposed to be this hot in NC.

    BARBE!!! The festival tonight (Plein Air) was sooooooooo awesome. All 40 artists at our marina for the sunset. Band playing. We (the 3 yoga-gals) bought patron tickets so we got to hob-nob in the big tent with the goodies and a never ending wine bar.

    I took a couple hundred photos, lots fewer than in the past, cuz my yoga buds kept distracting me from my documenting how cool it all is at it unfolds over the two hour paint-off.

    It is truly one of the neatest things that happens. Tomorrow night they're in a little village to our south. Hmmmmmmmm. Just realized tomorrow night is the guys fishing, but they're going north.

    Maybe I can find a ride?

    It will be glorious. Do you think I could learn to drive a motorcycle overnight? LOL

    toooooooo much wine, better edit, spelling disolves w a glass of wine............

    That is WAY cool Lisa!! Like a Mexican stand-off. Or an urban/rural skyline. When I frame my pieces I always name them. Sometimes it's the name that makes the picture special.

    Faith are you going to post pics of the artists???

    Guess I will have to start remembering I have a camera in my purse, but I know mine will never match up to yours and Mum and Tinyfishy.  And I do miss Melissa's pictures here.

    giraffes are my favs!  I collected giraffe figurines for years, but ended up finding other people who collected them way more seriously than I did & passed most of them on.  I've saved a few.  I LOVE their purple tongues! When I was in 2nd grade, I lived in a small town about 30 miles from Portland Or.  Our teacher arranged a field trip to the Portland Zoo on the day that Packy, the 1st baby elephant born in captivity in a US zoo (I think that was his claim to fame), was being revealed.  At that time zoos weren't so environmentally correct & the giraffes were in this BIG cement enclosure that had viewing areas level with the animals heads.  I was standing there watching & this giraffe came over by me & unfurled it's tongue---I was astounded!  Loved them ever since.
