Another beautiful beach day...

While Tom is off beach glass hunting, I am blog writing. See that teeny tiny boat (white speck) in upper right of the picture? I watched it come down by us, and then start drifting. As I watched, I saw they had spotted a whale, mostly because it surfaced and blew a spout of water in the air. I tried to take a picture, but it was worse than my photos of the dolphins in Chile or Tom in the mountains in Colorado, if you have been reading this blog that long. So I did the next best thing, I borrowed a picture from the internet.

This is the same type of whale, and this is about how far it surfaced each time it came up, and this is what it would look like if you were feet from it instead of 1/3 mile. 😁 Only the spume was bigger, because I can see it from my patio.

And, as long as I am borrowing pictures, a couple of times a day we get a pelican patrol. Three or four birds glide along in formation level with our patio, about 15 feet away. They make no noise, and you never hear them coming, they just glide on past in perfect wingman echelon formation. I never am able to snap a picture, so instead this is what you get. Just imagine them lined up.

Today is our last day here in Laguna Beach, tomorrow we head down the coast to join up with our friends and neighbors, Gene and Pam at Del Mar Beach in Camp Pendleton. We've done laundry, eaten our way through most of the cupboards and fridge, all we have to do is pack tonight. We are off to lunch today my college roommate and our godson. That's all for today's busy agenda!
