Chatty, restless, iratable, unfocused. For most women this would mean that they are pmsing. But for me this means that I really REALLY need more something in my life. Usually this can be solved with a brief & intence artistic endevor. Thankfully I live in California which provides me with much stimulation at a moments notice.

Ventura Pier, California

It has been raining here for the last few days (the “storm” has since moved on), but it takes realatively little weather to change sunny California in to a new exciting place. This picture was taken saturday with my sister in law in tow. I’m sure that the lifeguards would have appreciated me NOT wandering near the tide under the pier but it called & called hard.

I take pictures like I talk. I rarely think about anything between the time I deside to take a picture to when I do it. That usually involves me running around & stopping suddenly.  I’m probably not a very fun person to follow at these times because when something strikes me as beautiful it fills my chest like a hot air balloon and I’m off. Sometimes I even remember I have people with me.

I rarely edit. Editing is for art students and people who understand computers. I am neither. I understand color though. The orange on the left couldn’t be more perfect.

The swells were over 10ft tall and the rangers had closed the pier.  People are notoriously stupid in bad weather.

And a random picture of Bob (amazingly with his mouth CLOSED!)
