Simple Pleasures…
The beach weather hasn’t been optimal lately, but for some reason I find myself lingering and putting off starting for home. It won’t be a “long” linger, but I’m enjoying it for the time being. The marine layer hasn’t burned off for a couple of days, and the wind has made the waves somewhat wild.
I watch the beach from my “RV perch,” rather that stroll along the edges – thinking about choices I’ve made recently and voraciously reading novels. One decision that I’ve finally come to is that I will not allow myself to be in an abusive relationship. At one time in my life, I allowed that to happen – psychological and verbal abuse to be exact. No more – I’m worth so much more than that. I’ve found my “voice” and have recently told two individuals that they can be kind and respectful to me or “there’s the door.”
As a former educator, I found myself frequently in positions where I had to “make nice” and placate people – even though they were being rude and unreasonable. I don’t have to do that anymore. At any rate, enough of this talk – I’m moving on.
Sunday, there was a nice fireworks display from the beach. I “dusted off” my DSLR and tripod and gave it a go. I’m somewhat pleased with the results.
This coming weekend there’s a gay pride festival here at the casino. I think I’ll go to the comedy show Friday and I certainly want to photograph the “dykes on bikes” ride on Saturday.
I suppose I’ll mosey on home directly…

Your fireworks pics are fantastic! Mine turn out to be one big blurrrrr. I have always said that the worst kind of lonely is feeling alone while with someone. Continue to take good care of you!
Great fireworks photos, good philosophical advice to self…sounds like you’ve got a plan. Enjoy your remainder of beach time. Lynda
Really good pictures of the fireworks. I really liked them. Pictures really freeze time, as clearly indicated in your fireworks pictures.
Sometimes, it takes a few tries before a lesson sinks in to our brain. Just like I can never remember, the “i” before “e” except after “b”, or was it “c”. Heck, a lot of those letters sound the same. Anyway, the lessons we learn that needs to go deep inside, those soul lessons, they usually take a while to really learn. Good luck with it. May you find peace whereever you are.
I just ran across you blog and all your fabulous photos! I can’t wait to see them ALL! That may take some time though! Fabulous work!
