brighter still

after listening to The Vinyl Cafe for over 10 years at 7am on saturday mornings, i found out today that it now comes on 6am (9am in Toronto). fortunately thanks to The Internet, it also comes on hour later in Winnepeg and an hour later in Vancouver so i was able to listen at my Usual Time. today featured the music of Ron Sexsmith. this is a beautiful song from his latest cd, Exit Strategy of The Soul. i quickly put together a montage of mostly recent photos and videos and added his song as a soundtrack. the main thing is the music. as it almost always is.

Stuart said something like "don't forget to take time to look up and enjoy the clouds of summer" so, i did, i do.

bus to library. checked out a few new mysteries and one book on Scotland (for next month trips which is now down to three since two trips were "picked up"). walked to Redondo Pier. heard live music in three places including the Couchoise Brothers out on the pier in front of the setting sun at 6pm as a part of the Redondo Beach Pier concert series. from there i walked back along the beach stopping to enjoy and photograph the sunset. back up to PCH to catch the bus home.

here are a few images from another nice day at the beach.
