*We spent the first day of the year hanging out around our favorite sites in San Diego.

Walking on the edge of the beach,
a lovely house with climbing roses

The clutter on this porch inspired me
to a small watercolor on Canson paper
Whatdoya know -there's a reflection of the sky in the left window!

Took the pic in photoshop for color and value changes,
everyone's taking it easy
except for these fishing buddies
full of the zest of life!
these azalea I find blooming

Before I post my next series of pics, I'll try to visit as many as I can, instead of the usual reply underneath your comments. If I can't get to you, because your Google circle, I'll reply in the comment box...

Those Azaleas are vibrant in color.
Such beautiful and vibrant colors. I am enjoying temps in the 30s, perhaps 50 later this week then back down to the 20s. That's Michigan. lol
What lovely sunny shots!
I like sun on glittering snow (but the sun part has been sadly lacking over here).
You are so talented!Wonderful art!
And I love the sunshine moments in your pictures, great set of images!

Lovely variety of scenes in this post! Adore the magic of the climbing roses! And it's good to see young characters getting away from the internet and enjoying a spot of fishing!
nice set of picture indeed ! I specially enjoy the last one, the fishing one : it is an activity so quiet and so peaceful... But it looks like those boys are really having fun, here !
As fotos são todas lindas, mas essa das rosas suspensas na casa é encantadora. Abraços

Love the climbing roses and the azalea.
EVERYONE -tried to visit most of your blogs instead of commenting here. For some of you - since the google circle came up, I wasn't sure what to do!
lol, I love that old cottage. :)
You left FB just to go to GOOGLE+? Well, at least you put your links to the blog unlike others.
I only use FB for my family as they are now scattered around the globe. Never psot shots there, only like you now, I post links. Welcome back to blogworld.

Judy,
even in Southern California it has been in the 50ties during the day, and at night dipping to the 40ties and 30ties -very unusual!
VBR,
I love these climbing roses too -so romantic!
Wow, what an excellent artist you are!
I would like you to leave a comment on my post.

I wonder if those boys eat what they catch. :)
Great photos. It looks like a wonderful place to spend time!
Rocky Mountain Woman,
the coast is also great to live:):) The furthest I've lived from the coast is 2 hours! Sorry, when I went to your blog, I couldn't make out who of you had visited here!
Hooray! What a busy, sunny and happy link for the letter "H".
I think I'd just like to look at all these wonders!
The sun on the water, the sails billowing in the breeze.
This was wonderful!
Thank you for sharing.
