If Everybody Had an Ocean....

[lindyannajones]

Here are my parting shots of San Diego from last weekend. I love the opening line of "Surfin' USA" by the Beach Boys: "If everybody had an ocean...." I'm probably thinking this way because the temperature was 103 yesterday.

The last photo is a Coral Tree. You see them all over Southern California. These bright red blossoms are about the size of a hand.

Patti Page and summer days on old Cape Cod, happy times making wine in my garage. Country shade and lemonade guess I'm slowing down. It's a turned back world with a local girl in a smaller town

Would San Diego count as a smaller town ? This is another wonderful summer collage, with a beautiful selection of pictures.
Unbending never ending tablets of time that brings back memories of the Beachboys, or Jan and Dean and cut off jeans.
Surfs up Lindy

I love that song too Lindy and I love your parting shot from your trip. So well presented and great views of the ocean and I see you have already started to introduce the flowers back. Well if they are there, they just have to be captured and you have done that so well. I am so glad that you are back around Lindy.

Lindy these are just amazing. The pictures themselves are breath taking, but the way you put them together really takes the cake. I can almost feel the sand on my toes. And the tree is the most unuasual looking thing I have ever seen. Beautiful! Ri

"Wow" is one of my favorite response, Jack. Thanks.

Art Garfunkle has a sweet rendition of this song. It's playing as I write. I love the line: "now I'll fill your hand with kisses and a Tootsie Roll". Aw. That's so sweet. I hope my granddaughter finds a guy like that someday. Thanks for bringing back a sweet memory. Cut off's, of course, but did you wear huaraches? Thanks, Beach.

Thanks so much, Jake. Here's a preview of the Flower Farm in Carlsbad, CA:

Getting the actual feel of a photo is one of impacts a photographer can only hope for. That you feel the sand on your toes, is just great! Rian, thank you for your kind words!

My husband I took a bike trip up thru Oregon and down the California Coast. I had never seen the sun set over the ocean and was left in awe.
Your pictures have left me with the same feeling!

Thanks for the preview Lindy and I can't get that song out of my head. lol.

Jake.

Very nice Lindy... As always, very nicely presented. I can't wait to see your ranunculus farm... I have some of the far a few years ago. It's a fun place. It's so colorful your eyes go into overload.... Good job!
