Winner winner Chicken Dinner ~ Or not

II think those girls over at SITS forgot to tell me I won the Canon.  I haven't heard a word from them and I've been checking about ten times a day since the contest ended.  Girls... Oh SITsahs.  Who won the contest?  I'm right here ready to give you my address.  Or I can just come pick it up.  Let me know.

In the meantime, I know you are all enjoying your fall days.  We enjoy our fall here in So Cal but, there is nothing like fall where the leaves turn brilliant colors and fall off the trees, the air is so brisk that you have to close your windows at night.  I don't think I've ever been to any state in the fall when I didn't fall in love and want to move there.  All around, except for the dumb daylight savings time tradition, I love fall.  Everwhere!

Although our weather has been more summer-like than fall-like lately, I'm feeling it is only fair.  We kinda missed summer this year with the weather being foggy and drizzly and chilly.  At least to what my  standards of what chilly feels like.  That would be anything under 75 degrees.  I'm loving the mild, warm, winds which are called the Santa Ana's, that we have been having for the past two weeks.  It's anywhere from 75 to 85 at the beach and sunny, sunshiny, sunny.  Did I mention the sunshine?

Last night hubby and I stumbled over and had a glass of wine on our neighbor's patio.  No wait, we stumbled home.  We just sauntered over there in the first place.  I'm sharing these pics I took of the sunset because I love you so.  And because I have nothing else to write until those SITS girls send me my camera so I can get some more pics to write about.  If my little ol camera took these pics, it's either Gods doing, or the camera isn't as bad as I thought.  I think y'all know the answer to that.  But, just think what me and God could have done with a Canon Rebel T2i?

This left me speechless and that's not easy to do.

See that peninsula jutting out to see just down south?  That's the sparkling gem,  La Jolla.

Again...speechless.

God is good.

This is the scenery up north towards Cardiff By The Sea.  That's where I walk my pups.  There is a secret gate about a block from my house that leads down a little path lined with cypress trees.  It drops you right on this long stretch of sand on Pacific Coast Highway.  Cardiff By The Sea is one of the best places to walk your dog.  It's an "on leash beach" but, often, when its off season the beach is practically empty.  Also the lifeguards are put away for winter round here.  So, I can let my pups off leash to run and swim and chase the seagulls.

When the tide is out, you can stop and sup at at least 5 different restaurants right from your walk.  This,  including two right on the beach.  It's been known to happen.  It's a long walk.  Did you know that the amount of calories expended walking on sand for a mile is the equilivent of walking on asphalt for 24 miles?  I'm just kidding.  Sorry to get your hopes up.  RUDE!

See those tiny figures down there?  Those were the only people in the whole world on this strand of beach last night.  Who says California is over crowded?

And that's all she wrote.  You're welcome.

I am blessed, and blessings to you and yours, cause I love you more than all the beauty that is in a sunset.
