[photogirl12]

Very Beautiful CaliforniaPeggy!!

Especially considering that it is 40 and windy where I am.:woohoo:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear photogirl12!

Ouch! That's cold!

We have the Santa Ana winds blowing, and that makes it almost like summer here.......

Glad you like these!

:hug:

[photogirl12]

26. LOL that's nothing

It gets to be 20 or lower once it starts snowing. Then of course there are the windchills!!:rofl:

13. CaliforinaPeggy do you live in MB too?

That is the Manhattan Beach pier right? Not only the pier looks familiar, this morning the surf at El Porto consisted closed out walls.
:(

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. My dear puerco-bellies!

Yes, I do live in Manhattan Beach, and that is our pier!

Do you?

And what are closed out walls?

Hope you liked these pics!

:pals:

29. Great pictures, Alison gasped when I showed her the Pelican shot

She was amazed that it was a "normal" person who took that photo. We both believe that particular picture is poster/professional quality. Do you mind if I use it as a wall paper? BTW don't get me wrong, all your pictures were beautiful.

Alison has lived here Manhattan Beach all her life, off Marine and Aviation. She lured me in with kisses and home cooking about 6 months ago from the Venice Beach area (We've been seeing each other for almost two years).

El Porto is now my "Home Break", another words the place where I normally surf. Walled waves break simultaneously along the entire length of the wave. Not good for surfing, and a good way to get "worked" (hurt).

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. Of course, you may use my pic for wallpaper!

I am extremely touched by your kind words......

Every now and then I get lucky!

And tonight was one of those times......

Marion and Aviation, huh? Well, guess what....I'm just off Aviation and 2nd Street!

Sometime we must get together!

:hi:

[puerco-bellies]

36. Alison and I are headed south to Seal Beach early AM.

Alison feels that MB/Porto is a little to advanced for her. After a weekend surf session we head over to the "Local Yoke" for a late breakfast. We will be there around noon. I'll PM you with my phone # and maybe we could enjoy brunch with you. If you don't like the LY we would be happy to have brunch at your fave spot some time soon?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. Oooh, I love the Local Yolk!

Look forward to talking with you!

:woohoo:

[Guava Jelly]

14. Picture two Is beautiful!!

they all are.
But i love that one the most!!
I may need to turn that into wallpaper

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. My dear GoPsUx!

Aw, sweetie.....I'm so pleased that you like these!

And of course, help yourself to any and all for wallpaper....

All I ask is if anyone asks you who took them, that you tell them!

:hug:

[Guava Jelly]

19. I may use number two in a morning pic thread if thats cool :o)

Of course My Dear CalPeg would get a shout out :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Of course you may use it!

That is such a nice thing to do for me......you are a sweetheart! :hug:

21. As usual, absolutely beautiful, CaliforniaPeggy!

Saturate yourself with your subject and the camera will all but take you by the hand. -Margaret Bourke-White

And I know how true it is........At the best moments, I am one with my camera.......

Thank you so much.........:hug:

41. You are so lucky!!!

We used to be able to drive down to the beach a half mile away in connecticut and enjoy the afternoon with the tides and water, but we don't have that here.

[huskerlaw]

40. Sigh.

I need to drag myself down to the beach one of these days.

I miss it!

Most excellent pictures, Peggy. They're lovely.


:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

42. My dear huskerlaw!

I had an excellent opportunity for it tonight.....

Ben was down in Long Beach for a Math Society talk and dinner, so I was freed up from my usual dinner routine!

Got down to the Pier just before 6pm, and got busy! It was even warm, what with the Santa Ana winds!

Glad you like these, sweetie.......:loveya: :hug:

[Ptah]

43. Have I told you that this photograph of yours is the bestest?

Well, it is.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

44. I think you might have.........just kidding!

Yes, you told me, sweetie.....upthread a ways.......

Thank you so much...........It means a lot to me to have you say that, not once, but twice!

:hug:

[KitchenWitch]

45. Love the Pelicans!

:7

[CaliforniaPeggy]

46. I'm glad you do, my dear KitchenWitch!

That was just the luckiest shot evah!

:hug:

[WCGreen]

47. The birds are really cool...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

48. Aren't they, though?

And that picture was taken literally on the wing!

I had just spotted them, and just had time to get the camera up to my eyes......

And then snap! I hoped that it would work.........and it did!

Glad you like these.....and glad you had time to look...:hug:

[devilgrrl]

49. Very nice Peggy!

Makes me wish I lived near the beach. :-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

50. My dear devilgrrl!

Thanks, sweetie!

I am so very lucky, and I know it........

I wish you lived down here too.......

Glad you could come by tonight! :hug:

[The Straight Story]

51. Beautiful indeed, but not as pretty as this.... :)

My wife ;)

Seriously though, awesome damn pics peggy! Hope you share more with us soon.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

52. Your wife is so beautiful!

I really think she's in a class by herself!

Thank you for sharing her pic with all of us.......

And I'm so happy that you like my pictures too.......

I haven't been down to the beach in quite awhile, and it worked out tonight....

After we go back on standard time, it will be easier to get there before my dinner time....

Then there will be more pics! :hug:
