Pixture of the Week 2015.35

It happens with some regularity.

What many would call an ordinary scene catches my attention.

And in this case, keeps it.... as I walk by this pixture every morning.

I believe it is the light that is catching my eye and fascinating me.

And that is a little more dramatic if you click on the pixture to enlarge.... and a lot more dramatic, if you had been there.

Pixture of the Week 2015.34

Lydia loves the bike races.... and this week the Pro Cycling Tour is in Colorado.

So today we went to Golden.... so see the start of Stage 7.

The bonus was getting there in time to see Stage 3 of the women's race.

A little bit different format, a circuit race.... gave us a chance to see them on a number of passes.

Here is the legendary Kristin Armstrong, in yellow and the green jersey.... riding near the front late in the race.

Kristin didn't win this stage.... but she did win the race overall.

Pixture of the Week 2015.33

Now that's a good looking group of Grandkids.

Taken during our Family Reunion 2015.

There were multiple photographers, all of whom need multiple shots.

That makes it kind of hard to hold great smiles across the group.

Pixture of the Week 2015.32

I am not at all a fan of anything that falls from the sky.

I come by that honestly.... being born and raised in the Pacific Northwest.

So, a visit to the family.... always comes with a need for some weather tolerance.

Even though they now live on what is called the Sunshine Coast.

Here is a pixture from the ferry on our way to that sunshiny coast.

But I do have to admit that there is a certain mystic about a scene like this.

So I guess it's not all bad.

Pixture of the Week 2015.31

It's not quite "under the boardwalk".... like the song says.

But it is California close.

This is under the Scripps Pier.... on the beach at La Jolla Shores.

One of my favorite spots for a beach walk.

It was a clear and gentle day on this day.... but the surf was up.

The lingering effects of a hurricane.... that had died far to the south.

So today's pixture came with some surf.... as the waves broke under the pier.
