A lone pelican in flight during a beautiful Pacific sunset starring a bright yellow sun… and I was singing, “I got a peaceful, easy feeling….”
Quote of the Day: “As usual I finish the day before the sea, sumptuous this evening beneath the moon, which writes Arab symbols with phosphorescent streaks on the slow swells. There is no end to the sky and the waters. How well they accompany sadness!” ~Albert Camus
