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!

                                           The "ocean front"  protected bird nesting area.

                                    A Black Skimmer comes after intruder with camera.

                                                An American Oyster catcher.

                                                 A Royal Tern returns with food!

                                                    A Black Skimmer over the dunes.

                                                A hungry gull ponder his next move.
                 
                                                        The Black Skimmer flock.
                                            BBQ's idle during afternoon heat!
