It is a glorious day at the beach.  Of course, it’s always a good day at the beach.  But then there are days like today, when the sun shines brightly and the sky smiles down in blue wonder.  I’m not really sun-obsessed.  I’m sun-starved.

There have only been something like 8 days resembling today’s glow and warmth in recent memory.  This summer just hasn’t really shown up.  So, days like today are downright magical.

Bless the City of Long Beach for planting along our roadsides this year.  Aren’t the results beautiful?
