Taking in the sunset tonight with a friend who had a rough weekend. We've got to take care of each other; it's the only way we get through. #Coastside #SunsetOverTheOcean #NorCalWinter

It was a glorious warm evening down at the usual walking spot. Dogs frolicking, people smiling, no sign of imminent rain, just enough breeze to keep the air fresh. And I was lucky enough to get some photos I am really, really pleased with. #BeachWalk #Coastside #NorCalWinter #SunsetOverTheOcean

I didn't leave the house intending to take a long walk; I just didn't feel like driving. But I wanted to see the sunset. There's a lovely little park with a view of the ocean about a thirty-minute walk from my front doorstep; I've taken photos there before. Sometimes the only way to know where you're going is to get one foot out the door. #Coastside #NeighbourhoodWalk #MentalHealthWalk #SunsetOverTheOcean

Back to the beach today; it was pleasant out, with just enough breeze to keep me cool while walking. The usual numbers of dogs and humans were out, and most of them were friendly. All in all, it was good to be moving. #Coastside #BeachWalk #SunsetOverTheOcean #CoastalWalk

Lots of people out at the municipal beach tonight. Lots of dogs, too, which is always nice. Most everyone was smiling, and a few wished each other seasonal greetings. The game of hide-the-shiny-thing was well-contested; both sides did well. Happy Christmas to those of you who celebrate it; a pleasant Monday free of stress to those of you who don't. “Love binds us all.” #Coastside #SunsetOverTheOcean #BeachWalk #LoveOneAnother

Cloud dragons have mostly gone to Santa Cruz or Monterey to celebrate the Solstice, I suspect; skies were clear and the big ball of plasma was all striking and dramatic. But it was cool enough for walking; the windbreaker probably wasn't necessary, but it was nice to have it. #Coastside #NorCalWinter #BeachWalk #SunsetOverTheOcean
