A moment captured on our early evening beach walk the other day.  

I can't quite get the color and contrast to represent the painting accurately here. 

Color of Summer...

With summer coming to a close soon, I thought I'd try to capture the lighting and colors of the season.  Fall is beautiful here too, but the light will soon shift, shadows will change and colors won't be quite as warm.  Here we have the color of summer...

Morning View at The Montage...

With misty mornings come softer hues… a peaceful view from the Montage in South Laguna, CA.

Morning Shore

Bob and I went for our first morning beach walk since my surgery which was almost a year ago.

What a beautiful morning to celebrate this milestone.

I couldn't quite go the whole distance, so I took pictures at the shoreline while Bob continued on.

This wave had perfect form - no artistic enhancements here at all.
