Laguna Beach~Sunset Sunday~112413

Hubby and I stopped by Laguna Beach late this afternoon, after a run up to Whole Foods to grab dinner.  We parked and only had to wait a few minutes before the sun sank behind the ocean.  Sunset Sunday for November 24, 2013.  To visit Sunset Sunday, please go to:   http://www.scottlawphotography.com/2013/11/sunset-sunday-144.html

Long shadows in corridor~Shadow Shot Sunday~112413

I took this photo last October when hubby and I stopped at the Wapatki ruins, which are to the east of Arizona's Sunset Crater.  Hubby had wandered out to the car.  Shadow Shot Sunday for November 24, 2013.  To visit SSS, please go to:  http://shadowshotsunday2.blogspot.com/

Temecula metal horses

No, they aren't real.  These are metal horse sculptures located along Highway 79 between Anza and Temecula!  It was a beautiful day yesterday, after our "winter" storm, so we headed down to Temecula.  I saw these along the road and stopped to take these photos, and another car stopped, too.

Orange flowers and lights~Orange You Glad Its Friday~112213

Sorry for being AWOL.  I had parent conferences this week and I've been so busy and so exhausted!  But, now that it is Friday afternoon and my LONG week is over, I'm free to catch up!

I went to our city's park a few weekends ago and saw these orange flowers against the lamp post there and took this photo.  Today it is drizzly and raining and cold, so I'm at home, staying warm!  No going out for me this afternoon...no, no, no!

Coming home~SkyWatch Friday~110813

Sorry guys...we've been without Internet service for nearly two weeks while Time Warner tried to figure out the problem...5 techs later, this guy FINALLY ran a new cable from the pole out back to the house.  Now we are up & running!  While this is a temporary fix, and a crew of two maintenance guys will have to return to properly run it, at least for now I can upload photos!  Phew!  This was looking down into the Coachella Valley when we returned two weekends ago from our Arizona trip.  SkyWatch Friday for November 8, 2013.  To visit SWF, please go to:   http://skyley.blogspot.com/

Palm Desert park pond~Sunday Stills Challenge~102013

I know it's a stretch, but all I have here in town that even resembles a shoreline is our local park.  It is a very beautiful setting, however.  I often go there and take photos.  I see that the city has now installed pellet dispensers for duck food (25 cents a pop) and we are ONLY allowed to feed them the city's pellets...HA~And, no, the fisherman isn't real-he is a statue!  In fact, there are quite a few statutes in the park.  I went a couple of weeks ago because this weekend I'm exhausted.  Between fighting a sore throat and hyper kids, I haven't even gone outdoors for two days!  Maybe today I'll venture outside?  Sunday Stills Challenge, "shorelines" for October 20, 2013.

Lamp post, flowers, and sky~SkyWatch Friday~101813

I really do love the lamp posts down at our local park and as I was walking around there last weekend, I took this photo of one of them.  SkyWatch Friday for October 18, 2013.   To visit SWF, please go to:   http://skyley.blogspot.com/
