It's A Beautiful Day....

[revid]

I really hadn't had a full night's sleep since some where around 23 December I think, so last night I fell asleep around 1:30 AM, and woke up today around...1:30 PM. Boy, did that feel good. And I was so surprised to wake up and notice how warm my house felt. A quick check of my weather widget explained why: high today in Pismo Beach, CA was 80 ºF!

So I took the lovely _somniac_'s advice and took a little walk with my camera around 4 PM this afternoon. These were taken with a Canon SD630, a 6 MP point and shoot.


Sun and Sand




It was, of course, much brighter than it looks in this picure, but the brightness of the sun low on the horizon makes the rest of the photo quite underexposed. I like the way it came out anyway.


My attempt at artiness.


The view looking north towards the Pismo Beach pier.


If I knew Photoshop, I'd mess with this so the colors weren't so washed out. I still like it though.


Self Portrait. I look almost as tall as Kat here.


These were taken with the camera's Macro mode.


The view from the beach looking up my street.

Pismo Creek, which runs behind my street down to the ocean.


The foot bridge across the creek.


Someone else enjoying the day.


No reason.



I hope you're having a wonderful day wherever you are!

Wasn't it such a lovely day? I was a bit surprised by it, so I had lunch on the patio instead of the break room.

It was very relaxing. :)

So beautiful. I can smell the salty sea air. You live in a lovely neighborhood.

It was really fragrant today, too, with a blend of tar and kelp and sea. Sometimes I wish I lived closer to SF or LA, but I love where I live for days like this.

It was a very peaceful quiet afternoon. One of those "It's good to be alive" days.

Funny, because the weather is usually quite similar in both our towns.

I like your babbling...you always get my bad jokes.

Beautiful pics, Mary. Thanks for sharing. Your town looks lovely. =)

Thank you. I drove though your town a few years ago and it was quite lovely as well. I'll wave to you as I fly over next month on my way to go diving off Quadra Island.

Quadra? Really? How long are you here for...and will you have any free time? Depending on what days you're here, I may be able to scoot up to Quadra and say hi, maybe have lunch or dinner or something? Shoot me an email and let me know. =)
