Breezy Afternoon
Fluffy clouds drift between the islands, pressed by south winds that ruffle the seas in a northern direction .. Summer winds in January ….
Afternoon with Clouds & Ships

daybreak
pink and salmon colored break of day .. a fleet of cormorants diving in the earlier light .. gentle breezes ruffling the surface of the sea .. warm sunshine ….
wildlife
egrets, herons and terns .. wind waves and swaying palms .. new friendships and alliances ……. living in now ………
arrival
easy day of settling back into the rhythm of the seaside .. even the wild winds can’t deter the sense of peace that has washed over me ……..
Morning Light
Dawn - Isla Carmen - 5 November 2009
In the distance, a rooster opens his throat to the sky.
Light spills gently over the soft curves of Isla Carmen, and the morning star slowly fades from view.
Overhead, a heron squawks. The woosh of wings neraly as loud as his vocalizations. A gull, a pelican .. a splatter of fish.
Day break.
Something opens our wings ……
“Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness.” ~ Rumi

Dreams of waves do come true!
Prayers are answered. The wave machine has come alive. Not huge surf, but some overhead and definitely fun and ride-able.

Morning at San Juanico Bay
Sunrise, San Juanico
Morning at San Juanico Bay.
The drive south/west/north was seamless. The desert spread out before us in all of her dry magnificence. The arroyo crossings were dry, the palm oasis beckoning.
Home on the Point
We parked the motor home between second and third point on the cliff face. The waves crash below us – could we ask for better real estate? Most things are functional. We can’t seem to get the propane refrigerator to kick in/over. It starts up, then drifts to off or check. Likely, we aren’t fully level. So this morning we’ve got soft butter and yogurt on the warm side. But such is life. And hey, look at where we are!
After yogurt, fruit and coffee at Cynthia’s, we are going to put our bodies in the warm water surf!
Packing for the other side.
Surfboards, cooler – with??? Cheese, veggies, wine, fruit, yogurt, water, frozen tuna slab … Air pump, spare tire, oil, tools. Check?
