Anne

Anne at her gallery Saturday during the opening for WAX. She's standing in front of a piece by Mari Marks.

 

From the coastal trail   5:51 pm    (Right before the ball game where we beat the Cubs 6-5 in the 13th inning.)

A visit to Creekside Smokehouse, lunch at Seville, and finally a nap and a book by Ann Patchett above Moss Beach. The book is pretty wonderful (Bel Canto).

Sometimes this is what it takes for me to come up with a couple of words that work.

Ocean Beach   6:12 pm

I love stamps. Especially these.

 

Saturday at FOG

Carmen, despite that annoying e-collar, happily welcomes all visitors to FOG's (Far Out Gallery's) Autumnal Equinox Celebration. If you haven't stopped by this charming gallery on Taraval, you're in for a treat.

Beverly Tharp's photographs collect more and more red dots.

 
 

Wind

Nobody on the beach this evening!  6:47 pm.

Ship Wreck

A shipwreck washed ashore! Complete with crow's nest, cannibal king chair, and ship's log (that's the book hanging by a string with the pen). In the log, you're asked to write "What I would have done differently."

lovely, dark and deep

Bird Walk

Ocean Beach   6:40 pm   These baby birds led me all the way up the beach.

71 Sketches

This evening I turned in 71 sketches! This is one of my favorite spreads. Mimi's class is getting ready for dress rehearsal while the 6th graders decorate the school for the Villa del Mar Holiday Decorating Contest.

Almost Fall

On the Coastal Trail it's only 7:30 and the sun has already set.

Ocean Beach   7:11 pm

 

p.s. Terry Brophy, who has been painting our house along with Pedro and Milano, finished today. Before he left he played us a goodbye tune on his Japanese flute.

Coffee Notes

My favorite one: top row, 3rd from left. (That's today's.)
