Birthday Rhubarb Pie

Today is my husband's birthday.  He requested a homemade rhubarb pie.  (For those of you outside of North America, rhubarb is a plant that grows large leaves with big stalks.  The stalks are what you cook in a pie.  The stalks are often red-- hence, the color of the pie.

Whale of a Day

Each year there are many activities for a Whale of a Day.  March is a great time to see gray whales migrating northward from Baja California where they give birth to their young.

Cheerful California House

I passed this house after a trip to the recycling center.  It was so cheery that I had to turn around to take the photograph.  I love the colors that the owners used.

Someone Else's House

I like the lines of this house that looks out over the ocean.

Cruise Ship and Point Fermin

We could see this cruise boat and another one heading out to see as we walked along the top of the bluffs in San Pedro recently.

Picnic on the Rocks

This family group was having a barbecue on the flat rocks while the tide was out last Saturday afternoon.  Their food smelled delicious.  They jokingly offered to give my friend and I some of it when it was done.  It was a very warm day for the last day of February.

Theme Day "Glass"

This collection of old glass bottles held syrups.  They were shaped like rockets to promote space travel back in the middle of the twentieth century here in the U.S.A.
