Oot and aboot

Got myself out and about for a few hours...

Cafe Ipe, 50 Shades of Roasted Beans

Back at home, the sunset was magical...couldn't quite figure out how to capture the magic in a photo, but it was beautiful to see the sunset through our back window.

Grew these lovely beauties, roasted them, and then 

bleh...they were all dried out!

 Tomatoes have been growing well this summer! Is there anything better than a juicy summer tomato?

I don't get oot and aboot very often, but I always feel inspired when I do!

aloha.

Orange County

 A little adventure can go a long way.

We drove up the coast to Orange County for a day, 

and were met with the surprising realization that 

the water in OC is 

BLUER

and

CLEARER

than the water in SD.

 This pic, in particular, looks as if it came from our time in Hawaii.

It didn't!

It's Laguna Beach!

Why aren't beaches in SD this clear?

I'm stumped.

 How very California: Sea bird, surf board, and pier!

 

Dolphins at sunset!

 ...and so marked the end of a lovely day in OC!

A little adventure does WONDERS for the gypsy soul.

aloha.
