I love the vivid colors in our trees this time of year. Brighter than previous years, and so festive. I just love it.

I’m so blessed to have so many beautiful people in my life. Their beauty is more than skin deep, although there is that too. It’s in the way that they live and love. It goes right to their core.

People leave their mark on this world in varying ways.

Hopefully, you do not leave your mark in the way that some people have. Taken along the pier at Seal Beach, this picture reveals an ugly truth. Please, help pick up the litter that others have left and encourage others to do the same. This is our home.

There’s something soothing about watching butterflies move from flower to flower. It’s almost as soothing as sitting on the beach watching the waves go in and out. Here, I have both.
