A quick trip to San Diego, only a couple of hours for sightseeing. Didn’t think there would be time for anything beyond chauffeuring. I had to drive Mom in for a minor surgery. Pleased as punch to find myself in La Jolla with time to wander.

I was able to visit two of my all-time favorite places. The Children’s Pool and Mount Soledad. It felt wrong to leave Mom alone, but she requested photos of La Jolla for a friend. While she was “sleeping”, Pete and I headed south. I took nearly 600 photos! In about an hours time. Mostly because I was trying to catch the animals, or the waves.

Haven’t had time to go through them. We’re on the road again to Phoenix, and our family turkey dinner. We were blessed to spend Thanksgiving Day with friends before heading home.

Happy (what day is it?) Monday to you!

I wanted to go dark. And boy did I. There are some light areas. I thought maybe a crop for this would keep the dark from becoming, ominous. I like it, the 8 x 8. What do you think?

Doing the work led me to a few new ideas. Cool. AND, I actually remembered to note them in my phone. Just now. But still.

I hope your weekend was awesome.

Productive.
Restful.
Creative.
Fun.
LONG.

What you needed most.
