Lighter Sights

plum sea

Today I saw buffaloes grazing in a yellow field as I pedaled my bike along on Ballard Canyon Road.

I noticed a very nice, soft corduroy shirt for two dollars in a thrift shop and bought it.

I met my best-est girlfriends for coffee, and left with two new books to read.

As I was driving home a little later on the northbound 101, I caught a glimpse of the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile, and actually passed it, in fact, right here in Gaviota. (It's an extravagantly ridiculous gimmick, but it does prompt smiles and waves.)

Closer to the Ranch, a little boy and his father were walking along the road near Gaviota Pier after a day of fishing, as clouds turned to pink and the ocean plum.
