Thanks much Resa. And yes, I am! Two weeks and counting, First travel in a year and a half. It now feels strange instead of normal life. Hope all is well with you დდ
I used to go in summer to Jackson Hole as a child. I remember riding horses across the Snake River and being chased by cattle. I remember ski trips in college and grad school, driving from La Jolla to Jackson Hole, and being introduced to wind chill -50F. I remember when the wolves would howl me to sleep as a child in the summer. It was so comforting. დ
I remember my grandma taking us to lunch at the Hotel Del. We took the ferry over. I remember my grandma lamenting the Coronado Bay bridge when it was built. We could see it from our house.I remember weekends on the beach.
My grandfather took us regularly to brunch and dinner at The Del by ferry! It was great fun. They kept the ferry operating for several years after the bridge was built, so you could still ride over. They have boats now, but they are not the same. We have synchronistic memories Jean.
I’ve actually been here..and I forgot. My husbands brother treated us back in the 80’s. We’ve not returned to that area of California. What lovely photos.
Vi ringrazio molto! Così apprezzato. WordPress ha una funzione integrata che consente agli spettatori di ingrandire le foto facendo clic su di esse. Se hai problemi a farlo, invierò un’e-mail agli ingegneri di wordpress per chiedere aiuto o google come farlo. Ci sono molti tutorial online. Spero che aiuti. Ciao! დ
Grazie Cindy, farò delle prove. Il nuovo editor di word press e la possibilità di inserire immagini e video ancora non lo gestisco bene. Penso che quando avrò imparato il sistema diventerà vecchio e sostituito 😉
Tendo a evitare di leggere le istruzioni e mi limito a giocherellare con le cose finché non lo capisco. Le istruzioni mi infastidiscono. Non c’è metodo per la mia follia ti auguro buona fortuna e ho fiducia in te!!! 🙂 🙂
Cindy, I am sorry. I looked through my comments and I’m not sure if I conveyed the meaning of my thoughts correctly. I’m afraid I need to stop commenting because I might offend someone.
As one poet said: “If you cannot find right words, it is very dangerous to express your thoughts.”
You don’t offend me. I know you. Please continue to talk. It is very easy to misunderstand each what each other means in this virtual world. I know this. But, honestly, it is even easier to not listen, hear or see, or understand each other, in the ‘real’ world!! Please keep commenting. I will do the same, and we will figure it out დ
Torrey Pines is such a beautiful place! How blessed you are to have grown up there! I grew up on an eastern coast that’s also beautiful, but has sunrises instead of sunsets!
Good morning ma’am the pictures are wonderful. In times like these, it is difficult to find a place with trees and fields. This pictures not only radiate peace and happiness but, it also provides a hint for conservation of nature.
Thank you for posting these pictures.
I hope that you have a productive day ahead.
-Akshiitaa Bhardwaj {Wonder Global}
What beautiful sentiments and I love the feelings the photos engendered in you and appreciate you sharing them with me. And yes, conservation is so critically important for us all. I hope you are staying safe and well. Thank you for your kindness დ
Thank you and I am happy you enjoyed. Darjeeling is world famous and I would love to visit some day. Thank you for telling me a bit about yourself and I hope you are staying safe and well დდ
Torrey Pines, I vaguely remember interviewing for a job there, in my pre-Navy days. Two weeks later, I enlisted. Never heard back about the job … safe to say I didn’t get it. (LOL)
We made it here on Monday, specifically SJC/Dana Point. We’re renting a house in Dana Point while we’re here. It’s the same house we rented in 2019. It’s a craftsman-style home. The neighbors took a long look when we pulled up in two, large SUVs in G-Man black. My daughters are notorious for wearing black or dark blue (bordering on black). I’m just as bad. We all wear dark shades. Griffin, our groom, she was wearing black with dark shades too. Griffin’s daughter, she was wearing pink with a white ballcap. Sophia, she’s the one with mirrored sunglasses. Sophia said we must be up to no good – one guy, four women, one teen girl. 😉 😎 😉
The Women (and Man in Black) have arrived! The girl in pink with the white hat just adds to the mystery. The neighbors are definitely talking, but it’s Dana Point, they are used to all sorts of errr……. unusual things there!!! It’s California coastal after all!! 😉 Enjoy and best of luck to your daughters დ
Cindy, gorgeous country. You live in paradise. I tried to find the second plane and the person on the seashore and need help pinpointing where to look. Your photography is stellar. What an artistic eye you have! Loved the post! oxox
Hi Mary Ann. If you click on the photos they will enlarge for you and hopefully you will see the infinitesimal tiny person walking on the shore and the tiny plane flying under the con trail. Good luck & so happy you enjoyed the post! დ
Hi Cindy, I saw the plane but am not quite certain about the tiny person. Your photos inspire poetry. The colors and composition are stellar. Be well and have a good week. oxox
Cindy. I’ve missed the beauty you share with the world. What a treat to visit today. These would make terrific background photos. I love the last one especially. For one magical winter decades ago, I lived on the beach in Ocean City, NJ. There was nothing between my front window and the ocean but sand and seagulls. I woke at dawn every day that winter to drink my coffee and drink in the sun. These photos remind me of that time. Your gorgeous sunsets are a lovely bookend to my memories. Thank you. ♥.
Bonjour CINDY
Quand le week-end touche à sa fin c’est qu’il ouvre les portes à de nouveaux moments à cultiver ! Que cette Nouvelle Semaine te soit profitable et qu’elle t’enseigne que le temps passe vite ! Ne perds pas ton temps en te centrant sur les jours à venir ou en donnant trop d’importance à des personnes négatives ! Ouvre ton cœur et ton existence à l’espoir, la générosité et à l’amitié sincère.

I remember being traumatized as a child when a woman threw live lobsters into a pot of boiling water and they made a whistling sort of scream. Such bad karma დ

My hometown too. wish I was there!
Let’s beam each other over. I’d love to be in the Tetons right now! დ
It’s pretty beautiful right now. We have too many summer tourists anymore. I’m ready for the beach!

What a stunning home town! Wow! Between the sky and the ocean, I can’t say which is more stunning.
Oceans and sunsets, the world over, are stunning to behold. Hope all is well with you Marlene დ
Doing well here, Cindy. Just buried in summer chores and activities right now. Hopefully by later this month, I’ll get a breather.
It’s good to be busy, and then good to rest. Only the best to you Marlene დ
Sublime … thank you for taking us there Cindy 💕🙏💕
I loved sharing it with you Val დ
Mother Nature’s showing off for you! 😘 Have a wonderful Sunday, Cindy!
She is so nice that way and does it for all of us, bless Her <3. Cheers to you Teresa დ
I’ve actually been here..and I forgot. My husbands brother treated us back in the 80’s. We’ve not returned to that area of California. What lovely photos.
I am glad the photos jogged your memories. I love it when that happens & thank you! დ
The earth brings us poetry in moments. And you, my dear friend, are able to capture the words in poetry. Sending hugs!
Aww…… sending hugs and gratitude back to you Rebecca დ
Your photos create a wonderful calming atmosphere, I like them very much. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful week, Marie
Your comment makes me happy. Thank you very much Marie & cheers to you დ

Thanks much my friend. I have learned that every area has it’s own unique beauty დ

It was especially nice when I grew up there, before the crowds and development arrived დ
Really really beautiful!
Honored. Thank you დ
🙂
Sunset colors, reminder that there is beauty in the end. (that is a blog right there!)
It certainly is. There is beauty everywhere დ
Just gorgeous, Cindy!!
So pleased you enjoyed & much appreciated! დ
What a beautiful sunset!!
Thanks much Liz. I have been missing your posts. For some reason, they are not appearing in my reader! დ
Great stuff. We have a house about 6 miles from those photos.
Oh my gosh! Are you in La Jolla or Del Mar? So many bloggers are saying they are from here. What a small world დ
Cheers to you, too, Cindy. Fine shots
Thank you very much Phillip დ
Beautiful places around your hometown in Southern California. Dear friend, I wish you a merry and happy time.
I hope you are staying hale, healthy and hearty Ernst. It is nice to talk to you in English for a change! დ
I like the sunsets you captured near the ocean, especially the ones with the dark trees silhouetted against the evening sky.
I am so glad you do and thank you very much Peter დ
Beautiful scenario! Cindy! It looks like you missed the flights a lot. 🙂
I definitely am missing the travel, but not the flights! 😉
Actually, it is exactly what I meant. Wrong delivery of my thoughts, sorry.
You are a wonderful person to know Alexander. დ

Gorgeous images and place to call home Cindy! 😍
Thanks Brad & cheers to you my friend დ

Very lovely views!
Thank you. Wonderful to hear from you. Hope all is well with you დ
Torrey Pines is such a beautiful place! How blessed you are to have grown up there! I grew up on an eastern coast that’s also beautiful, but has sunrises instead of sunsets!
Oh, yes, myy parents lived for a long while in Dover New Hampshire and I know how beautiful the east coast is. დ
Oh it has been years since I visited Torrey Pines, Cindy. Your home town? Mine too (San Diego). Glorious photos and a nice walk down memory lane!
I know we are both from the San Diego area. No wonder we understand each other! It’s a wonderful coincidence. დ
Ahh…fell in love with these pics at first flight. Lol! Awesome pics as always my dear friend! ʸ(ᴖ́◡ु⚈᷉)♡⃛
Awwww….You make me happy I posted! Thank you ʸ(ᴖ́◡ु⚈᷉)♡⃛
Oh man, so beautiful! Want to be there and listen to the waves. Thank you. You are my photoqueen. <3
Awwww……You just gave me a big smile! Many thanks & cheers to you დ
So beautiful…
Best wishes, and stay safe, dear Cindy!
Thank you and you too my friend. Stay safe & well დ
Love this stunning place, Cindy. Beautiful shots and a reminder that I need to get back to golf sometime. 🙂
Thank you so much Jane! I especially like golf course after the golfers leave!! 😉 😉
Cindy, these are stunning photographs! Thank you so much for sharing them with us.
Reblogged this on charles french words reading and writing and commented:
Here are beautiful photographs from Cindy Knoke to enjoy!
Awww, thanks so much for your thoughtfulness Charles. You are most appreciated. I hope all is going well with you დ
From my house in Darjeeling(India) we get a lovely sunshine at Tiger hill. I am reminded by your beautiful photos.🙂

These pictures remind me of my hometown Darjeeling(India) famous for the sunrise in Tiger Hill.🙂 Beautiful photos Cindy.
Thank you and I am happy you enjoyed. Darjeeling is world famous and I would love to visit some day. Thank you for telling me a bit about yourself and I hope you are staying safe and well დდ
You too, stay safe.🙂
You’re always welcome to Darjeeling.🙂

Manzara enfes. Çok güzeller
Çok teşekkür ederim! eğlenmene çok sevindim. Sana şerefe. დ
I wonder why we never get those plane tracks in the sky here. Too much pollution I imagine?
Interesting. I have never heard of this. We could ask google……. დ
I’ve seen those “fumes” in Paris, in Normandy, generally in very clear skies.
We do have very clear skies here, so this makes sense.
Beautiful surroundings, Cindy. We would love to live in a place like that😸Pawkisses for a Happy Wednesday🐾😽💞
Thanks so much my friend & sending you wishes for a healthy and happy week! დ

Your descriptors placed me there. with the sea lulling me to sleep and the sea birds waking me in the morning. Lovely! დ
It was fun sharing that memory space with you. Thank you for being with me! *hugs* ♥.
Always დდ
Cindy, thank you for these lovely photographs!
Thank you more for appreciating them Charles & cheers to you დ
So beautiful photos 🤩
Honored. Thank you very much დ
Beautiful as always. Thanks for sharing these! Your blog always lightens up my mood!
Awwww, thank you and I am so pleased to hear this! დ
Welcome!!! 🙂
Gorgeous sunset. Stunning!
Awwww…….. merci beaucoup mon ami დ
