Who doesn’t love the beach when the sun is going down? LA really does have some wonderful beaches. I’ve driven on this road many times but have never seen it quite like this before.

Santa Monica Pier is a LA landmark. From what I hear from the old timers it seems to go through a transformation every few years.  For all you New Yorkers please don’t try to compare it with Cony Island. Its not the same, it’s not supposed to be. I think this photo is fun because of the the color. I know that there is lots else going on, the lines, the roof tops the clean beach, etc…

I’m hoping that in 100 years that this picture hangs on the wall of a coffee shop, or maybe a franchise restaurant that  wants to look local.

I love how after a hard workout of play attacking both Rhodesian Ridgebacks take a break by sticking their tongues out at each other.

My two dogs. They love to run and they love to play. Sometimes the way that they play is more like war then love but if you know them you know how much they love each other. Our dogs are a central part of our family and travel almost, everywhere we go. Although they don’t care to get wet they love to run on an open beach.

We often spend the holidays on the beach just camping and  kicking it. My son was working on putting this helicopter together and figuring out how to make it fly and this was the grand moment to decide if it would work not. It was awesome to see the satisfaction he had from doing it himself!
