It’s September in SoCal,
so we’re having a heat wave.
We grabbed the family and headed to coastal Carlsbad for the week.
Life’s a beach,
and the fun doesn’t stop,
when the sun sets.
It just slows down,
and becomes more soulful.
Cheers to you from Carlsbad in September~

Such wondrous colors in these photos. I love them. I can smell the ocean! Happy night!
Happy night to you Lane! And thank you დ
Isn’t that so? The pictures do make the scenery come to life and engulf all the senses: the feel of the sand between your toes, the whispers of the waves, and, yes the smell of the ocean!
Thank you for finding the good and the soothing in this highly uncomfortable heat…
What lovely sentiments. Thank you very much & stay cool! დ
Stay cool. I have a sister in Orange County and she has been sweltering. Wonderful pictures.
Yes. It is quite an intense heat wave. It is cooling tonight though, finally. Tell your sister, Winter is Coming! 😉
Gorgeous photos, Cindy! Those colours are spectacular and of course, the ocean is always so beautiful.
So kind of you Lynette and so appreciated. Be safe and well my friend დ
Lovely place. Great photos, Cindy. I especially love the wave shot.
Thank you very much Michael. Hope all is well with you დ
You’re welcome. Preparing for the next adventure which will start at the weekend. West Papua 😁.
Wow! Enjoy & bon voyage.
Thank you very much, Cindy 🤗😊
The second photo (closeup of a wave) is exquisite. They’re all great, but that one’s my favourite. We had a small heat wave (3 or 4 days with highs around 80F) last week, but now it looks like fall is almost here.
Ahh, thank you very much Audrey. 80F is hot. 77 is comfortable for me, but that is the limit. Happy fall is falling for you my friend. Enjoy დ
It’s just as hot here in Cbad! My house was at 98 and I’m near the lagoon!
We clocked 104 today, but it is already cooling. I could exercise outside tonight. I think this is the hottest I remember. It actually seemed hotter at the coast because it was so humid. Hope all is well with you დდ
It was definitely the humidity and the overnight temps. Even a strong Santa Ana cools off at night, but my house stayed unbearably hot all night. No AC but the fan helped. Glad it’s over!
Yikes. That sounds difficult. The humidity just makes things worse. September is often bad at the coast as you know, but not this bad, and the lack of overnight cooling was really strange. Stay cool. Today feels much better except for the smoke and fires!
Well I’m not the same animal I used to be. PNW is now my home. Nothing above 70 now, although no rain, not yet. I would wilt in CA, pretty as it is.
Yes. A bunch of heat records were broken. The PNW is stunning დ

I can almost feel the heat and smell the sea Cindy…. we are definitely into autumn now but the sunshine has been very welcome.
Sounds lovely Sally. Enjoy & be well my friend დ
What a sunset!!!!! :o)
Smiling…. Thank you Sue & cheers! დ
Love the splash! And those sunsets…..
So appreciated Jo & take good care my friend დ
Fab photos
Merci beaucoup mon Ami Sheree! დ
😎
So unfair to post these glorious photos when we’ve had next to no summer! And now we’re not even having an Indian Summer. Just going direct to November, apparently.
Oh dear. Sorry to hear. The weather is not playing nice with us anymore. Stay safe & warm დ
It looks glorious Cindy, but I have to ask, why are you trying to make me jealous?
A break from the rain and some prolonged sunshine would be wonderful.
Enjoy your break. Huge Hugs
We should sway places. I would love your rain!! The heat is too much & now the fires are burning. Stay warm and dry my friend დ
Oh, I love these beautiful Images of beach, Summer, ocean, bright colors and Sky!
Have a fine week, dear Cindy!🌴🌞
You make me happy I posted Martha. Thanks very much & stay safe and well my friend დ
So well recorded
Hello Derrick & thank you! Hope all is well with you დ
Thanks very much, Cindy. Awaiting cystoscopy results
Thoughts and prayers are with you.
It looks so beautiful. Gorgeous images, Cindy.
So happy you enjoyed & thank you very much Kathy დ
The heat has Ben crazy – love your pics
Thanks much Beth. A bunch of heat records were broken. Thankfully today is cooler დ
Great photos! Have fun!
So appreciated! Thank you & cheers დ
Wonderful photos….I am not a lover of the heat. good luck:)
Merci beaucoup mon Ami Janet დ

Stunning collection of beauty. Love the sunsets.
Grazie mille Michelle დ
Envious!
I wish I could beam you over now. The weather is better today დ
Hey, great sunsets Cindy. Delightfully taken with such foreground of sea, surf and sand. And that crystal clear wave shot stands out. I don’t know whether the light or clear water…or both. But it wanted to be seen. Thank you for the share, I hope you got some of that cooool water in that heat 🤗❤️🙏
Your lovely comment makes me happy I posted Mark. Thanks very much & yes I was in that soothing water and the waves were big! Stay cool my friend & cheers დ
💖💐💖
დ
Beautiful Evening Sunset and awesome pictures of it!
Thanks much Alexander & hope all is well with you my friend დ
Thank you Cindy.
Keeping myself busy outside, while it is still warm and sunny. Have to finish couple projects. After that, when all tourists come back home, we’ll fly somewhere. 🙂✈️
Oh wonderful! Enjoy დ
Thank you. I will🙂
Positively gorgeous views! Enjoy your family time!☀️
Thank you very much. Family is everything დ
I agree!🩷
დ
A gorgeous ocean sunset is hard to beat.
Agreed. Such transcendent peace დ
Now that’s the ticket! Enjoy. 🙂
Thanks Eliza & cheers to you my friend დ
Enjoy !
Thank you Ashley დ
We’ve had a heat wave. A real blessing as we move towards fall and winter 🙂
Happy for you! Enjoy & cheers დ
Thank you for taking us along to the beach with you via your gorgeous photos, Cindy! 💛
Awww…. You make the experience better Teresa. Thank you & be well my friend დ
WOW! The Endless Summer . . .
Yes. Yesterday was 104F! დ
It’s been getting up to 110 at my daughter’s house in San Diego.
Yikes. It is cooling now though, but the fires are taking off. Hope she is getting some relief now დ
I hope so, too!
That’s lovely Cindy! Over here in the Netherlands we had a grand spell of late summer, wich is now over. Fall is coming. Your wonderful pictures let the memory last. 🙂
The Netherlands are so stunning. Enjoy. I would love to beam over! Thankfully today is much cooler and Fall is definitely around the corner დ
Looks wonderful! I love Cali and look forward to returning!
I hope you return soon & cheers to you! დ
Hi Cindy! So this is where you’ve been hiding haha! Beautiful photos, I’ve never been to that area of California. It seems odd to me that the temperature can be so high there, the weather channel said it was 104 degrees recently. Las Vegas is starting the winter cool down this week with 97 and lower, yay!
Thank you John. It was 104 here yesterday and felt like a furnace. The coast is humid and possibly more uncomfortable. We need to go to Vegas and cool down! 😉
Ha yes, you may need to, Cindy ! Lovely photos. I’ll buy you guys lunch if you come up! Be well. 😊😊😊
Now that is enticing!! I love the buffets! 😉
I meant what I said. 😊😊❤️❤️
I will keep you posted დდ
Okay. 🤙🏻😊😊
Beautiful pics of Carlsbad, Cindy! It’s crazy hot there! My daughter in San Diego said it was 101 on Sunday! Yikes!
It was 104 here yesterday, but is cooling today. Of course the fires have now started დ
Dear Cindy
it looks a bit like here on our coast but fortunately we didn’t had a heat wave. But for our taste we had had enough sun and we hope for rain. At least it started to be quite windy.
We didn’t know that there is a Carlsbad in California, we only know the famous Carlsbad in the Czeck Republic where a lot of famous artist used to spend their holidays.
Thanks & Cheers

It sounds like you are ideally situated climate wise. The Czech Republic is wonderful, but the only other Carlsbad I have visited is in Germany and is spelled with a K. I love all the spa town Bads…. They are so good!! Cheers to you both & take good care დ
Dear Cindy
we have a classic maritime climate with mild summers (hardly ever more than 30 degrees) and mild winters (maybe just a couple of days with light frost and ice). And lots of hours of sunshine, much more than middle European average.
Thanks

Sounds delightful. Odd to think our SoCal weather is more extreme. We get both extreme heat and lots of below freezing nights in winter, and of course, the fires, many of which are burning now.
Fabulous beach shots, Cindy. I love the way you did day until sunset.
Yet, another heat wave!
Anyway, it’s cooled off a bit in Toronto. I’m sure we will get 1 last killer heat wave.
Thank you Resa. It is hard for me to envision Toronto with a heat wave! Thankfully you are very cool!!! დ
LOL!!! 🌹❦
Cheers back Cindy. Those are gorgeous photos and remind me how much I love to watch sunsets over the ocean or water. In fact, I was at those beaches a long time ago with no camera. Enjoy the beach for me. 😍
Hi Brad. Yes, water sunsets are incredible. Of course, so our mountain and valley!! Stay cool my friend დ
Thanks Cindy. You’re always cool. 😍
Smiling….
Breathtaking and looks like so much fun.
The beach is incredibly fun with my 5 year old twin grandsons. Resting under an umbrella isn’t bad either! 😉
I bet, perfect way to soak in the sun and make memories.
დდ
Good for you, Cindy! Summer’s last gasp here is almost painful, ha! (Probably because by this time of year, we’re all ready for Fall’s cooler temps and plenty of pumpkins!)
The pumpkins are growing and the surfers are surfing!! 😉
Your photos are amazing!
Merci beaucoup mon ami Kymber დ
💕💕💕
It’s been a brutal last few days, glad you found a fun way to beat the heat!
Yes! This heat wave has been a record breaker. It felt worse at the coast due to the humidity, but the ocean was delightful დ
Making wonderful memories for your family Cindy.
Leslie
Yes indeed! The twins are turning 6. Time flies. Hope all is well with you Leslie & take good care my friend დ
Our son, Tony, once had a condo in Carlsbad, Cindy. A beautiful area and a fun town. Great beach shots.
Thanks much Curt. I was just enjoying your recent photos დ
😁
Wonderful. LG M.
Grazie mille Marie დ
“When the sun sets it just slows down and gets more soulful”…..beautiful words and photos! Thank you, Cindy.
Ahh…. Thank you very much Jennie & be well my friend დ
You’re welcome, Cindy!
Beautiful pictures. Spending time in and around the water is a great way to beat the heat.
Thanks much. Today the temperature is starting to fall, but many records were broken დ
We’ve already been in late August, with a light marine layer. Don’t melt away now.
Today the heat is starting to dissipate. A lot of heat records were broken over the last few days დ
That’s a beautiful place to be in a heat wave.
Yes. And the beach is uncrowded in September დ
Oh, no! The poor sharks are going to starve!
Laughing….. They are!!!
