Well, here's my Photoshop Art piece for this week.  It reminds me of summer coming to an end. There's a certain sadness to it.

One travels more usefully when alone, because he reflects more.

Contemplation seems to be about the only luxury that costs nothing.

A sand ball in one hand and a gun in the other, this little one was ready to conquer any sea creature that came his way.

I had a gun and I had to run and shoot, which is not easy.

A photograph of my nephew, Robby, having fun in the surf.

A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. And the consequences whether good or bad of even the least of them are far-reaching.

Ok, so now it's time for some beach pictures since it is summer!  I saw these two little girl playing in the sand and I thought they looked like they were having so much fun.  I think we all remember the days we had at the beach when there was nothing to do but have fun!  Ah, the carefree days of summer when you're 12, no bills, credit cards,  jobs, house payments, car payments, boyfriends, husbands, wives, children, etc., etc, etc, etc.......

The things which the child loves remain in the domain of the heart until old age. The most beautiful thing in life is that our souls remain over the places where we once enjoyed ourselves”

Kahlil Gibran quotes (Lebanese born American philosophical Essayist, Novelist and Poet. 1883-1931)

There are times that you just need to go somewhere where you can shut off the crazy loud world around you, to go to a place such as this. This photograph was taken at Descanso Gardens in La Canada, Flintridge CA.
