Pure magic

A Christmas Day drive turned into a magical day.... For over an hour, I stood in the same spot  as the water, the sand, the waves, the light danced and glowed all around me... a sunset that went on forever... truly magical.

Before I decided to post these photos on the blog, I sent the first photo in this set to a dear friend in Europe; this is what he wrote: ... "This photo looks like the hidden step between the evolution from the water to the land...it looks like a being had the idea to change his life from water to the land..I know it happened 300 million years ago but that's only a theory; but this photo is the missing link"... 

Since then, I have looked at it in a whole new light and a wide open mind...

Earlier in the day, the calm light of the rolling hills of the wine region took me in.

In a few days, the magic of a New Year's Day outing.

Instagram....j'adore

My love affair with the iPhone Instagram application ~ square format, moody choices, dreamy looks...comfort.

This set was taken just last month along the California coast, near Muir Beach and at the ever so British pub, the Pelican Inn. The fog gave the afternoon an amazing glow.

Summer is drawing to a close... 

soon no more lazy afternoons with sand wedged between toes. 

Where were you this summer? Somewhere good for the soul I hope...
