Fort Bragg, California Flowers March 2009

Some pretty flowers seen around Fort Bragg today.

Windy Day

Today I took a walk to the beach with a friend. It was so windy. We brought some bread for the seagulls and got a bit away from the cliffs so the seagulls would have an easier time landing in the wind. Today you could surely call Fort Bragg "The Windy City". It still wasn't that cold though and I liked getting out. I did bring a nice cap to cover my head and ears though and that helped things out without getting too cold. I love how fun it is to see the seagulls hovering over our heads and just waiting for us to throw bread up in the air to them. I am grateful for where I live. I hope to go to the duck pond soon and perhaps catch a glimpse of baby ducks, too.

My American Idol Favorites

Watched American Idol tonight. My favorites are Adam Lambert, Kris Allen and Allison Iraheta. All three of them did so well tonight. I hope they stay in the competition until toward the end of the show so I can hear their good singing. I like watching this show. Probably because I can't sing, I really do appreciate it when I hear good singers. :-)

From A Learn To Watercolor Book

Just tried out an exercise in a learn to watercolor kit my friend gave me. I used watercolor pencils for this as they seem easier for me to handle. It was relaxing doing this the other day.

Great Day For A Walk

Today was real nice weather in Fort Bragg. Went for a walk kind of away from the ocean area today and it was so sunny and warm. Saw a little deer in a meadow. Perfect day for walking. I am looking forward to all this better weather we will have ahead of us.

Movies Lately

Movies I have seen lately were: Revolutionary Road at the movies and I really liked it. Good depiction of a struggling couple in the 50's with their marriage and their life plans. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet did a great job at it. I think they both are such great actors! The movie was dramatic and emotional, but I did like it.

On a lighter note, I watched the DVD "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" and at first I was thinking it was probably just for teens, but it isn't. It had good messages in the movie and was glad I finished watching it. It too was touching in many parts of it.

Then I saw an old 70's film called "The Passenger". Jack Nicholson starred in this and it was interesting to take a look back to that era. The movie was interesting, too. It seemed the movie moved slowly, but I still liked it and it seemed to depict the 70's outlook on stuff. Loved seeing Jack Nicholson again in how he looked back then. As I have always known, he is a great actor. It is so amazing he has been an actor all these years and a great one at that! One of my favorites.

Now of course I didn't give anything away on these movies as I am not a critic, but just posting some movies I saw lately. I think "Revolutionary Road" was the best of these.

Happy Spring

Pink and White Flower Tree at Spring

Overlooking Pudding Creek Area - Turkey Vulture Flying

This is a quick couple photos of a turkey vulture flying overhead. Usually they are cruising so quickly spying on prey it is tough to get them on camera, but I did get this one in these photos.

Spring Time At Glass Beach Area

This is a pretty scene of the cliff areas at spring. Nice place to walk along the paths. This is the best time of the year here. Although we did have a storm last night, but when the storms clear, it winds up being real nice out. Just have to make sure you get out there when it is nice. If you see the sun, get out while it lasts. That is my motto for living here as the weather does vary. Still, I love it here.

Crayon Art Work Just For Fun - Easter

The creative art prompt at the Inspire Me Thursday site was "Swirl". I just sat listening to music last night and this is what I came up with. I think I will always like coloring no matter how old I get. :-)

Overlooking The Harbor Area Today

Some March 2009 Flowers

Ocean Today

It was a real nice day at the ocean today.

Weekend

Just posting that I had a good weekend. Spent time with my family and with some friends. It was nice. I look forward to a good week ahead.

More Photos From Fort Bragg, California

Just some more photos from around town. Lots of the big trees were by the cemetery. Actually the cemetery often has lots of life going on in it. A few times I have seen deer having a nice snack on the flowers. And the day I was there lots of robins were hopping all over the place. And of course little squirrels love to scurry around here, too.

When I was learning to drive my mom took me to a huge cemetery in the early morning hours. She said, "Don't worry you can't hurt anyone here." She did have a funny sense of humor - my mom. I like remembering those good memories more than the tough ones with my mom. :-)
