  1. The pictures of the local wildlife and the little snippets that come with them were adorable! And I’m sure the dog in that convertible must be living the high life 😉

  2. Lovely images, especially nice to see the Grebe shot – I’ve never been able to get close enough to a Grebe here in Melbourne to get a decent shot.

    1. I have one other grebe shot that I should find. I remember that shot well because my camera ran out of battery power as soon as I found the grebe so I could only get one click!

  3. You got me with the dog with sunglasses photo…and the pelicans…then a beauty of an egret. Wow! You are living a wonderful journey in life. <3

  4. The Cali dog is so cool! Love all the photos here. Peli and birds are so beautiful! It must be a good year for them with all the rain. 🙂 Thank you for the post, Cindy!

    1. Finally we have rain and boy do we have bunches of it! Huge storm is approaching us now and is already in Ventura county. It is packing walloping winds and tons of rain! Cheers to you Amy & happy weekend my friend! <3

  5. Beautiful, crystal-clear, sharp photos, Cindy. I love the one dog and his/her human out for a Sunday drive in the hot car!

    Nice evening photo of Oxnard, too. I always associate Oxnard with the old TV show “The Rockford Files”, starring the late James Garner. Jim Rockford’s father was always going up to Oxnard to look at a truck. 🙂

    1. I watched that show but I didn’t remember the Oxnard connection. Oxnard is a terrible name for a very pretty place with lots of homes with boats on canals that connect with the sea. Thank you for your thoughtful comments Lavinia & happy weekend~

  6. I liked this post with the critters coming out to welcome the changing weather, as well as the warmth from the sun.
    I love posts with birds in them! Hope you are doing well, dear Cindy! <3 🙂
