1. My dear CaliforniaPeggy...

What beautiful pictures!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear Writer.....

I thank you! I had fun taking them, as I always do....

I'd hoped for a more spectacular sunset, but you take whatever shows up!

:hi:

[maveric]

4. Great shots Peggy!

Did you shoot the surfer shots from the pier? I catch myself doing that a lot with all the piers down here.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear maveric!

I was indeed on the pier....it has the BEST vantage point, IMHO.....

And thank you for the compliments! :loveya: :hug:

3. Is the water that cold that one has to wear a wetsuit?

:hi:

[huskerlaw]

7. Only for people

who grew up here! Those of us who know what cold is consider it an acceptable temp.

Meanwhile, between you and me, I wouldn't submerse myself in that water without some kind of protection... :scared:

[KitchenWitch]

9. true 'nuff!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. The surfers always wear them, my dear KW.....

I stay the heck out of the water! :scared:

It is not terribly warm yet .....but it warms up pretty well in the summer...

[huskerlaw]

5. Very nice!

You know, I think the funky clouds make up for what's lacking in color.

I like it because it's not a typical SoCal sunset...at least, not that I've noticed! ;)

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear huskerlaw!

Thanks, sweetie! I really wanted more color...but as I said, you take whatever shows up.....

Yes, at least the clouds had some interesting forms.......:hug:

11. Kincaid would say.....

God is watching us.....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Would he now?

And what would you say? I hope you liked them.....

Even though I have done more spectacular pics.....

I always feel the presence of God when I'm taking pictures...

[WCGreen]

17. I liked them a lot.....

20. So true

I'm in Louisiana right now. The bayous(sp) have a beauty all their own.

I'll take pics if I have time come daylight.

I've seen pics of the bayous....and they are stunning!

28. so peaceful and soothing

calms my soul

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. My dear wildhorses........

I am so privileged to bring this peace into your life.....

Just think....if Neoma hadn't started her thread on linking her to our most recent threads....

And if I hadn't responded to her......

Then you would never have gotten to see these pics, sweetie!

How amazing is this world of ours!

Love is everywhere....just like beauty. All you have to do is......look...

:hug: :loveya:

[MiniMandaRuth]

29. You've cheered me up even more!

CaliforniaPeggy is quite the painter,
A'int her?
She's paints the sky with her clean photographs
She paints the ground where the children laugh,
She brings out joy and the sky so pink, orange, and blue,
And CaliPeggy, that's why we love you!


(We actually love you for many more reasons)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. My dear MiniMandaRuth!

What a lovely poem! I thank you for it.....

And for the compliments.....

Glad you like my pictures, sweetie!

:loveya: :hug:

[MiniMandaRuth]

32. I think poetry is the best compliment because it requires more thought...

And my language arts teacher thinks that if I practice poetry more, than I can get better at it.
