at the Beach in Southern California

Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away.
Barbara De Angelis
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." Rumi
"A woman is like a teabag-only in hot water do you realize how strong she is." Eleanor Roosevelt
"Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
Learn as if you were to live forever."
Mahatma Ghandi
"...We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. ... And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." Nelson Mandela
“Each of us has that right, that possibility, to invent ourselves daily. If a person does not invent herself, she will be invented. So, to be bodacious enough to invent ourselves is wise.” - Maya Angelou
“Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.”
Rumi
"A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place, but a seed to be planted and to bear more seeds toward the hope of greening the landscape of idea." ~ Henry David Thoreau

Beautiful! I remember those sunsets.
spectacular. i am so envious!!!
Thanks for visiting. I so wish I was back in California. We have visited Palm Springs the last 2 years in a row. I love it there. You have captured the sky beautifully.
Happy WW!

Is it possible to leave wordless admiration? These photos make me melt...
Here in southern Idaho we get some very spectacular sunsets in the warmer months. I'm not sure you can get much color in the sky when there is snow on the ground. Mostly it goes from grey daytime light to black darkness. One more thing to look forward to in the spring.
Those make me want to go Home!
Awesome shots!
I lived in Costa Mesa, and these remind me so much of all the Summer Days we spent at the beach!
Happy WW!
Oh....those were breathtaking....those remind me of the skies back home on Miami Beach *sigh*
Thanks everyone for taking time to enjoy these photos with me and share your thoughts.
Chani – They are special, aren’t they?
Lucy – Skies like these happen occasionally, not every day. I snapped these last week after the rains here.
Kyla – You’re welcome and I’m glad you found me here. I’m a native Californian and (although I’ve visited some lovely places), this is home.
Karen – I love the thought! I’m glad you enjoyed them. Feel free to return and enjoy them anytime.
Eve – I can imagine … and just thinking about snow on the ground (especially since I’m sitting here with my usual bare feet) makes me shiver!
Christine – Costa Mesa isn’t far from me. I didn’t notice where you live now, but will try to remember to look on my next visit.
Sandy – Hmmm … home in Miami, eh? Seems to me you’ve lived in “Sandy Eggo” too which would make you a bi-coastal beach dweller … but you’re somewhere in the Northeast now, right?
Hugs and blessings to you all! I do appreciate you visiting and sharing.
