started out my special day ...
This year my sister



is in town and we'll
get together after my
morning class to walk

with our cameras

Oh! Happy Birthday to you! How wonderful. Do people really go barefoot to the barefoot bar? I posted a macro shot of my margarita on my photo blog. Have fun celebrating.

I love reading your blogs and looking at your photos just as much as you do creating them! I always wanted a sibling, and your sister sounds so very special. I was an only child. Love the pictures! A rainbow and a drink!

Sylvia K said...

A very Happy Birthday to you!! Next to me you're still a teenager!! When I was your age I was having a great time in a new job. I finally retired five years later. Looks like you had a great time and the Margarita looks delicious! Enjoy many more -- birthdays and Margaritas!!

The margarita topped it all off best. But the fish tacos? No way. Had one and will never have another. They're not meant to be tacos. LOL

I hope you had a wonderful birthday! Your beach photos are so lovely. That is one of my favorite activities--walking on the beach. Of course, our nearest beach is around 400 miles away so I don't get to do it often.

Ann said...

What a beautiful place to call home, I would love walking on the beach. I have to do that on vacation only. We like smack dab in the middle of America so for us to go to the beach it takes 2 days of travel time.

Happy birthday hope you have many more to come...God bless you always. happy watery Wednesday too.

Diane AZ said...

Happy Birthday! Looks like you had a fun afternoon. I love the flying gulls at the beach. :D

Oh, these are great! I'm lucky when I capture a bird in flight. You've got so many. To answer your question, no I didn't walk across to the beach. It's on PCH and there's no real way to access it unless you drive in or you're crossing in front of a parking entrance. Besides, I'd just spend 3 hrs walking around Bolsa Chica. The drive was fine. LOL!

What a fabulous way to celebrate your birthday!

A belated Happy Birthday! I'm not that far behind you in age :-)

S CA looks perfect to me today after I spent the morning shoveling snow. It has been a long winter in the NE!
