...That I just couldn't help myself. While driving home from the post office (Mother's Day "stuff" - mailed...phew!), I got the itch to take a few pictures. I had already experienced a fantastic run (where I regretted not carrying my camera) along the coast earlier in the day, and with one glance at the sparkling blue waters - I was sold. Thirty minutes later, I was coasting home, in effort to prepare for the next round of concerts. Britten's "War Requiem" calls. I won't lie - its a bit, um, grim (as most War Requiems tend to be). But I needed to get those tricky passages under control, lest I play the wrong notes. Again. Luckily, for this concert - there are so many different parts and various players, so that my own interpretive notes won't be as apparent.
But let's not think about that... imagine yourself on a beach... somewhere in Southern California...
(((dream-like music...most likely harp)))
Carlsbad beaches
Waiting for the train.
Even though my Dad doesn't live here, I'm pretty certain he knows the daily schedule.Doesn't that water look tempting?
You still won't get me in there. Teeming with, well - you know.Coastal Highway and Power Plant
Couldn't have said it better than this:
I just had to stop the car... Cliffs from Carlsbad looking to Encinitas
I swear - the wind blew the exact moment the shutter clicked.
On days like these, I'm really happy to be living out here...
Back in the car, headed home...
And bike lanes everywhere. Another reason why I love living out here.Speaking of bike lanes...wow...this hill just keeps going and going and going. And going.
Yes - my unexpected detour from yesterday. The easy part.Flower Carpet.
Trees on El Camino Real.
Succulents! They are SUCH interesting plants!
For Nathaniel - whose odd fascination continues to grow (just like the succulents).Light, CA traffic.
And later on...(because pictures are fun)...
Bison Stir Fry...mmmmm
And I can promise that Nathaniel was happy because there was NO TOFU in sight. Dos Amigos for Dos Amigos?
Perfect!
