When the days are short, the light is low, palm trees sway in the wind, cool sea breezes blow all the way from Alaska, and, somehow, it feels like the leaves rustle in the distance, even at this southernmost reach of the seemingly "Infinite Coast".

Taken one November outside San Diego, by yours truly.

When the days haven't cooled out on the water, but the nights are longer, the sun is lower, and the dusk is all the more beautiful....

Captured one September evening, "Blue Hour at Hermosa Beach".

It's a very different place from the postcard you might have been sold, what with LAX setting a new record dew point this week...but the sun will lower, the nights will lengthen, and the storms will come back...and California's South Coast will once again be at its best.

A dispatch from the gorgeous winter of 2023 at Santa Monica Beach, taken by yours truly.

A dispatch from the less muggy times that in Southern California we call winter...when this part of the coast is at its most gorgeous.

Taken on Hermosa Beach: "At the Shores of Dreams".

White-sand beach, a town that makes Malibu look like it was made for peasants, *and* nature's air conditioner still running even in the hottest month of the hottest year on record? Some places have all the luck...

Taken in Carmel-by-the-Sea one August evening: "Welcome to Paradise".

Saw this #TreesKnees in the forest & it looked like it had a face. So I put my #sunglasses on it. Then put my friend's ballcap on it.
