A walk on the beach

Christine and I rode up to Lone Ranch Beach, one of my favorite spots.   The pathway goes around
and circles by the river running into the ocean, through a narrow path and around an area of driftwood that is stacked high with huge blanched tree trunks along with pieces that make yard art and you want to take it all home.   This time of year the wild berry bushes are laden with beautiful blossoms.   It is going to be a bumper crop this year.

Christine posed on the bench for me.

Someone cut some fire wood and left some behind.  The yellow buttercups were colorful and sweet.

Lots of folks out with their dogs.   This fellow loved to run into the waves and bring back a stick.

More wild flowers, more berries  coming.....lots of bees out and I was sure I had two or three when I snapped this picture.   

Christine and I enjoyed our walk down the pathway to the sea.     I never tire of this walk and if I do tire, there are tables and benches along the path where you can stop and just sit and look and listen.    It was fun to watch the families on the beach.    There was one youngster who wanted to fly his kite and he almost succeeded but was to lazy to keep running.   He wanted that kite to take off and when his mother held it up and told him to run, the kite went way up and would have kept going but he decided to climb a rock and the kite headed for the sand.    There were dog walkers and castle builders and some laying on the sand hoping for some sunshine.    It was bright and the marine layer had lifted some but the warm sunshine hasn't returned yet.    We enjoyed our walk on the beach and was ready for our movie when we got home.   We chose "Sahara" to watch;  a Clive Cussiler novel made into a movie.   It did follow the book to a point, but then the Hollywood version came to life and was actually laughable.   

I hope your Sunday was a good one and you found places to go and things to do with a special family member or a friend.  The weekend is meant to be yours so work on keeping it cool, calm and collected as the old adage says.     Keep Sunday your special day and enjoy each moment as it enfolds, take your camera with you and take pictures of the sights and sounds of your summer Sunday, and if it is in your back yard and you are having a bar-b-qu with friends, all the better as you share their hugs and smiles.  Hugs to all.
