It is 100 degrees today and it was yesterday and the day before. It is not however 100 degrees
at the beach in this photo. This is the drive down Pacific Coast Highway near
Huntington Beach, California. There are a lot of ups and downs to living in
Southern California. One of the downs is the heat if you live inland and if you
live at the beach the other negative is in this photo. Who in there right mind
would ruin a beautiful view like this with an oil rig? It is going to be my
birthday this week and normally I would just pass it by, but this year is a
biggie. Lots of ups and downs about this birthday. While I enjoy what is
left of my younger year, I am going to share a personal favorite or two of my
photos. Saying Good-bye to summer.

I took this photo at Neiman Marcus in Fashion Island, Newport Beach, California
I leave you with this gorgeous (probably Lalique) crystal vase.
The ultimate (luxury) table decoration for summer. This is not
on my wish list because if I bought this it would cost
so much I would have to insure it. But it is beautiful
to look at and as I said, summer eye-candy.

Know someone who would enjoy this?
