Yard Sale 2009 Some Toys Leaving

Here are just some toys departing. They were fun to look at when they were here.

Ducks Journey At Sunset

First Day of Summer Sunset

I am practicing my sunset photos. They are a challenge with my little camera I have. I still am enjoying my sunsets even if the photos don't turn out the way I totally would like them to. I still get a nice bike ride to the beach and back and get to enjoy the beauty. So nothing is lost at all. :-)

Fort Bragg California at Night

Just had a little stroll this evening and thought I would share our downtown area at night here. It was windy, but not really as cold as I thought it would be. Actually it was a welcome break from the heat we had recently. :-)

Look closely at drainage by street, smile

Click on the Photo to Enlarge - Managed to get a photo of this cute one the other day. The story behind this is I told my kids that I hoped to get some nice photos of creatures while I was out and about. So as I was riding my bike this little one walked out in front of me. I put on my brakes and they screeched and I said watch out to the little one which ran in the drainage place. I swerved my bike to across the street, luckily no cars were coming, I reached into my backpack, grabbed my camera and took this photo. :-) Nice this little one posed long enough before going on its journey down the drain somewhere.

Great Spirits

I am in great spirits today. I am focusing on all the good that is in my life. There is plenty of it. To feel more serene, I have stopped watching the news on TV. I may glance at the headlines just to get an "idea" of what is going on, but I don't watch it so much like I used to. It is a welcome break.

I am going to be happy that I am feeling in great spirits today. I think when we truly take the time to notice all the good in our lives we can feel much better about things. I remember a time I was down and out. I was hanging my head low on a bus stop bench on one of my long bus journeys across country. I guess I looked bedraggled and a man said to me, "Here is $20.00. Get yourself something to eat." I turned to him and said, "Are you serious?" and he said, "Yes, I can see you can use a little help. Just help someone else out some day is all I ask." So even in my down and out time, I got cheered up that day. I hope to keep seeing the good that there is all around me. Take care all.

Just being a nite owl

This is my just being a nite owl post. I will talk about the weather. It has been very hot lately. I really like it lots. Wonderful weather. This is probably the best time of the year to visit Fort Bragg although any time is a good time to visit here. I have been here since 1994 and I really like it here. Although, I have liked lots of places I have lived. It just seems this town is very nice and comfortable and I feel happy to be able to live here. And that does it for my nite owl post.
