and we're back again.

around 630am. one hour before scheduled departure. one and half hours before actual take-off . . . and about 8 hours before landing back in LA. you do the math on the flight time.

images from my last sunday walk before

it was raining heavily in the predawn hours. and very cloudy and maybe even a little drizzle when i left for my last sunday walk around 7am. it was quite cool with the wind blowing in from the ocean when i arrived at the beach. i enjoyed this change, change in weather, change in scenery (from my apartment). my favorite seagulls (i think of Groucho Marx when i see them) which i have now learned are called terns (possibly Royal terns) were also enjoying the beach sitting side-by-side by the regular seagulls as i sat quietly with camera in hand off to their right. there were very few people at the beach at 8am, maybe a jogger or two and a beachcomber or two. on my walk back home, the stormy-looking threatening clouds were becoming more friendly. all the photos above are from today starting with storm clouds, and then blue sky, sunshine, and ending with a pool full moon.
