My World #128: Ocean Beach

When I go to the city, which is not as often as I want, and I am in the neighborhood close enough to the beach I make sure that I stop by for a bit. Such was the case on May 30th, Memorial Day. Our friends took us to lunch in Daly City and we were so close to the beach that we decided to walk off the calories by "hiking" Land's End and walking up and down Ocean Beach.

This post is the Ocean Beach part.

In the past five years, this would be only the 2nd time that I was there where the weather was beach weather - sunny, mid 60s to low 70s, mild breeze and downright beautiful.

Needless to say I brought my camera out to lunch and for a walk. My captures on the beach.

Funny but I never remember a totem pole by the Cliff House before. Has it been here forever?

    The surfing and dog walking look fun! Oh how I miss the beach. I think I should plan a trip to the beach soon.

    Wonderful beach shots. The houses along the seafront look like English buildings.

    What a great series of beach activity pictures. Shorting a vendor, it could have been here. Except these people go to beach in warm clothing :-)

    Great collection of photos to show life at the beach. I feel almost as if I were there.

    I don't remember a totem pole at Cliff House, either, but it's been several years since I've been there.

    Great serie of photos!

    PS: Thank you so much for your visiting and kind words of comfort about Flora's passing.
    Flora was so sweet, so adorable and we miss her so much! I'm so heartbroken, so sorrow...
    I believe that only the time will lessen my pain.
    With warm embrace,
    Sonia.

    What is it about the California beaches! You´re taking me back to years ago when my kids were growing up there. (sigh)

    Whenever I visit my daughter, I often take long walks from her condo to the Cliff House and beyond. Now that you mentioned it, I can't remember when I first saw that totem pole!
