Moody Monday

My grumpiness is melting away as I watch some Flight of the Conchords. Hope this brightens your day too.

Rainy Days and Mondays

I am so enjoying the sprinkles these past few days. What a relief from the late season heat wave.

It also seems fitting that this Monday should be gray and gloomy as I say goodbye to my brother and his band. They are on the road again and off to their next show in Santa Cruz. I miss them already.

sometimes all it takes for a dark Monday to get bright is a stroll with your lover in the last of the light

I couldn't find the perfect image of Ventura in all it's late afternoon glory. But this photo of Santa Rosalia fits the mood of the evening. This was taken from a hotel on the hill above a little French colonial port town in Baja, California. From here you can board a ship to mainland Mexico and wave goodbye to the little European style square and the tin church designed by Gustave Eiffel. Just after the sun goes down the water off the coast lights up with the lanterns of fisherman, like fireflies floating on the Sea of Cortez.
