Beach At Dusk
Walking down to the beach at dusk. The water is calm and steady. People’s voices carrying. Seagulls flying. Footprints.

Early morning on the 4th of July I find sculptures are erupting from the sandy beach in Cayucos California.
The artist concentrates on his work.

It’s nice having a walnut tree in your backyard.

A Gazania bloom does its part in showing off mother natures beauty.
Morro Bay After Sundown
Just after sundown on an ocean cooled July evening. The town of Morro Bay California nestled around Morro Rock and Morro Bay, as seen from the top of Black Hill Trail in Morro Bay State Park.
Forced Relocation
I trapped this little guy using a have-a-heart trap. He has been living under my house and eating out of my garden. Now he has been safely relocated to a rural area about 5 miles from here. I wish him only the best in his new surroundings.
Note: No animals were harmed in the writing of this post.
Sunbathing Snake

It’s a real wakeup shock to walk up on a 3 to 4 foot snake laying in the sun right beside the trail. My mind registered him and my muscles reacted instinctively. Before I even realized it, I had jumped 2 feet in the air and backward. Only then did I become consciously aware there was a snake, and what I had done. Ancient survival programming recognizing a danger pattern and firing. There is still that animal core of protective instinct deep within us.
Mr. Gopher Snake remained frozen, his own instinct telling him not to move. I left him in peace to soak up as much sun as he wanted. He has a tale to tell Mrs. Gopher Snake this evening.
Valley Walking Path

Walking on the path from my sisters home back to mine. I’m really lucky to live where I do.
