[Bennyboy]

2. Nice....

Any other fires break out down there today?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear Bennyboy...

I thank you!

I haven't had the news on, so I don't really know about any other fires...

:hi:

[Haole Girl]

3. Ah...very pretty....

I love the reflection ones especially! Wow... you take the best beach pics, Peggy! :hi:

I miss the beach so much.

:cry:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. My dear KC2!

Thank you so much, sweetie...

The reflections don't always happen...

I got lucky!

Sorry it makes you miss it though... :hug:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

5. so calming

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear Tuesday Afternoon!

Glad you like them, sweetie...

I had fun taking them!

And...you're welcome...:hug:

[puerco-bellies]

9. Right on C-P!

Great pictures. Damn, I got to get out of the house more often.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear puerco-bellies!

Thanks!

I should have been down there last night...

There wasn't any fog bank in the way of the sunset the way it was tonight, alas...

Glad you like these anyhow!

The birds were definitely cooperating!

:hug:

[havocmom]

11. Ooooo you caught a 'green glow' in a wave in that 4th pic!

Cool!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. My dear havocmom!

Ah, so I did!

I think that was just an artifact from the lens...

Not the famous "green spot" that photographers look for!

Glad you like these!

:hug:

[Capn Sunshine]

12. Thanks for this

couldn't get to the beach today as my biz required a meeting in WLA. Then I couldn't return via the coast, which is my usual route

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. My dear Capn Sunshine...

Oh, you're quite welcome!

Always my pleasure to share...

:hug:

[BarenakedLady]

13. Very purty

I miss the ocean. :(

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. My dear BarenakedLady...

Thanks, sweetie!

I'd miss it too...

:hug:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

14. I love shorebirds...

It's fun to watch them follow the waves as they ebb, feeding as they go; and then racing back toward the shore when the next wave rolls in. :-)

Those are beautiful pics, Peggy! Thanks! :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My dear GoddessOfGuiness...

Aren't the shorebirds cute?

I love to see their legs flashing in the sun...

Glad you like these!

You're welcome...It's always my pleasure to share whatever beauty I see in my world...

:hug:

[VenusRising]

18. Those are fabulous, Peggy!

I especially love the first one.

The ripples seem to be propelling the bird along.

Great job!

:)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. My dear VenusRising!

Oh, thank you, sweetie!

Those ripples aren't always there...

And since the sky and the waves weren't what I was hoping for...

The ripples did the trick!

:hug:

[LeftyFingerPop]

21. Damn Peggy...these are lovely!!!

Nice job!!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. My dear philboy!

Oh, thank you so much, sweetie!

I'm really pleased that you like them...

:hug:

[LeftyFingerPop]

23. I do Peggy...

they are beautiful. They moved me. Thank you.

[From The Ashes]

24. Lovely pictures, Peggy...

:thumbsup:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. My dear From The Ashes...

Oh, thank you, sweetie...

So glad you like them!

I appreciate your comments a great deal...:hug:

[TK421]

26. Peggy...beautiful pictures, but a question

just how bad was the Malibu fire? I'm really not hearing much about it here on the east coast....do you know approximately how much damage it caused? Was anyone killed in it? Sorry, but I got off of work two hours ago, and I've been trying to keep up with the news, but I'm really not supposed to be web-surfing at work ( which is why I have to leave DU periodically when I'm at that place ). I know I could look up the news, but since you're much closer I might possibly have your take on it?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear TK421...

Glad you like my pictures, sweetie!

And actually, I probably don't know any more than you about the Malibu fire...

I haven't had the news on at all today...

Wish I could tell you more, but it would be a GIANT fib if I did!

:hug:

[huskerlaw]

28. Oh. Wow.

The sunset pic is beautiful, Peggy!

Also, I love the ripples in the sand. Great job! :)

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. My dear huskerlaw!

Aw, thanks, sweetie...

I was really pleased with those damn ripples!

They're not always there...

Glad you liked these...:hug:

[zanne]

29. You beach show-offer.

So beautiful.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. My dear zanne!

Ah, you made me laugh!

Thank you....

Glad you like them...:hug:

[fizzgig]

30. wonderful as always, peggy

thanks for sharing

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. My dear kagehime...

You are such a loyal friend...

Thank you for always being here...

And I appreciate your loving my work...

It means so damn much! :hug:

[mwdem]

34. Beautiful pics, CP!

I miss the beach so much, only I miss the east side. I grew up in N.C. and I miss the Outer Banks a lot!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. My dear mwdem...

I can imagine you miss it...

I would never want to live away from some sort of large body of water...

Glad you had time to come by tonight, sweetie...

And I'm even gladder that you like these!

Thank you...:hug:

[RebelSansCause]

36. *sigh* you and your gorgeous beaches and sunsets

it looks so pretty. one day west coast, i am coming for you. for grad school, you will be mine, only 4 years off. until then, i will allow your beautiful photography tide me over while i sit here in cold, bitter cold, new york.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. My dear RebelSansCause!

Oh, thank you, sweetie...

I'm so sorry you're stuck in cold, bitter cold, new york....

It isn't always this pretty, BTW...

Glad I can help you cope!

:hug:

[leeroysphitz]

37. Person, Californiapegand I daresay that in some general but true

way I love you but as a Michigander I must tell you, based on these pictures, to "go to hell".

I'm sure I could come up with some lovely local sunset pics but I KNOW that none of them could look or feel so warm....


:)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. My dear leeroysphits!

Are you telling me to "go to hell"???

LOL...

Don't be jealous, sweetie...

I'm sure you have some lovely views of Michigan...

Views which will make me sigh, and wish I were there...

There is beauty everywhere...

All you have to do .........is look.

Thank you...

:hug:

[UrbScotty]

40. My dear CaliforniaPeggy!

Great, as always!

I hope you are far away from Malibu!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. My dear ih8thegop!

Thank you, sweetie...

Yes, I am far away from Malibu....30 or 40 miles at least, I think....

Glad you like these...:hug:
