One lonely picture for my Lounge friends.....couldn't downsize it.......

[CaliforniaPeggy]

It's a view of Palos Verdes Peninsula, with Catalina Island in the misty distance. I took it today, from the Manhattan Beach Pier....

1. I grew up on a farm in Montana.

The first job I had off the farm was at a flower shop.
I learned the importance of composition and color.

You capture the elemental components of an image
quite eloquently, my friend.

:thumbsup:

And it looks just a little too cold to jump into.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. My dear Ptah!

Your praise nearly takes my breath away! Thank you......

Oh my .....*fans self*


I'm sure it is too cold to jump into..I would not ever consider such a thing, esp. since Jaws!


It was a lot of fun down by the beach today. I felt so free, and unencumbered......

Just me and my camera....good times, good times.....


:hug:

14. I had an aunt, uncle and four cousins that lived in

Westminster. It was such a change of pace to visit
them in December (living in Montana.)
Hunginton Beach is still my favorite
sand.

2. Sigh.

I'm in love. My newly adopted city simply rules. :loveya:

Great pic, Peggy! :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. And a very pleasant evening to you, my dear huskerlaw!

I agree: LA rules! Especially on days like this one, after the storm...

So glad you like my pic, my dear!

Sounds like you're settling in well.....


:loveya: :hug:

[huskerlaw]

9. Thank you muchly!

I am settling in far faster than I thought I would. I think I belong here, and that's an excellent feeling.

I still need to meet my first DUer though...hint, hint. ;) :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. Indeed you do! I get the hint very well, thank you!

PM me your working hours, and we'll talk, OK? Maybe you could get out here for dinner or something......


God, what exciting times we live in!


:hug: :loveya:

[huskerlaw]

17. Check your PM!

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. I'm so glad you like my pic, my dear mwdem!

But I'm so sorry you miss the ocean.....

Feel free to download the pic for your own use, of course!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. You have my complete sympathies, my dear!

I'm happy to provide you with the occasional pic of things you love!


:pals:

[mwdem]

[Az]

7. You used up all the blue on my LCD screen!!!

Nice pic!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Oh my dear Az!

Can you ever forgive me? :scared:


I'm jazzed that you like my pic! Freshly out of the camera......


:hug:

[Az]

20. I do love grand vistas

Something about looking out over the water gets my mind to wandering about things on the other side. It sort of keys off meditation for me.

[Straight Shooter]

8. All of a sudden I feel ............

......... hypnotized.

What a serene photo, all that lovely blue staring at me, inviting me to look a little longer, all that lovely blue staring at me, inviting me ...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. My dear Straight Shooter!

I am truly moved by your remarks! I'm so glad you like my photo, and that you find it hypnotizing!

And looking at it isn't either illegal, immoral or fattening! :pals:

[Straight Shooter]

15. I'm getting .... sleepy.

It is a most remarkable photo. Thank you for sharing. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Thank you so much......

I really LOVE taking photos.....

And sharing them with people who appreciate them just adds to my joy!


:hug:

[Straight Shooter]

23. I have saved your photo to my "Photos To Print" folder

It will be included on a CD and sent to a photo lab for processing as a small picture for framing. I truly think it's gorgeous. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. Oh WOW!

I cannot tell you how honored I am to hear this......

I will ask just one thing, however..that you put my name on the back of the picture.....

I will PM you in just a moment with that info.....

But I thank you so much! I am honored almost beyond words......


:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Heidi]

18. The blue of the water is soothing . . .

I don't think that's a lonely picture at all. Beautiful, Peggy. :thumbsup:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Ah, my dear Heidi!

I thank you so much! I do agree that the blue is soothing.

When I said lonely, I meant that I only had one pic to post....

I normally like to post several, and I did take more than one today that was worthy.

BUT the stupid Photobucket would not let me transfer more than just this one pic...oh well. :shrug:


:loveya: :hug:

[enigmatic]

25. That's beautiful, Peggy

Seriously:)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear enigmatic!

I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I am so very glad you like it........ :loveya:
