Construction of a new public pool

Some more high tide flooding up on the beach at Belmont pier

I haven't been taking the surf photos and other shots that I used to take since I hurt my shoulder. Maybe some of you have seen the surf and coastal damage online.

The trees they put lights on and put out in the bay. They look good at night with the colored lights on. These here look like they need a lot of repair. They might even be getting "retired" I'm

We are currently having flood conditions in Newport Beach/Balboa area. The peninsula east of me is also flooded and homes are being wrecked. This happens at high tide. The water drains back out at low

This is last winter. Days like this are perfect. Not cold. Not hot. Not crowded.

Amongst other things we have a very intense heat wave now

Fun and games way above my station in life
