Avoiding the sweltering heat!

We are fortunate to live so close to the ocean and have the cabana at Malibu to take advantage of on these blistering hot Summer days. These photos taken yesterday, a Friday, are an example.

The nearby Federally protected nesting area is home to Royal Terns, Black Skimmers, American Oyster catchers and various Gulls.  Enjoy the sights!

                                                       A nice ocean breeze prevails!

Independence Day 2011

The once postponed 4th of July fireworks from Long Beach, NY was held on a beautiful July 9th evening.

                                           A great venue for a fireworks display...

July 4th, 2011 - Twenty minutes of Sun Set

No man made commercial fireworks display could have come close to the spectacular sight we witnessed as the sun set on July 4th.

                         8:22 PM    From Lido Beach, New York looking West....  

                                                             
        Sun set at Lido Beach, NY, Buildings of  NYC skyline in foreground.

A memorable sight from the sand dunes.

Deeper reds, brighter oranges, etc.

                          8:44 PM the sky radiates as the day comes to a close.
