Thanks to my daughter my current real estate woes are over

Clicking the pics lights up my life.... That's how boring my life is.

These folks sure love their kayaks, there's two more laying on the ground next to the water.

Being a Saturday the beach has been pretty busy today. I'm finding out that Marina Beach, where I'm boondocked, gets more visitors than the main really large beach. I'm not sure why. Marina Beach may have more unofficial boat launch sites than the main beach, or maybe there's less soft sand to disappear into at this beach, or possibly the fishing is better from the shore here, whatever it is Marina Beach seems to get more visitors than the other beaches.

There are no official walking trails here at the Marina Beach area like there is up on Ridge road where I normally stay. But who needs a walking trail when you've got lots of beach to walk on. Mostly there are dirt roads, and Jeep trails that twist and turn through this area that folks can walk on, and boondocker's can boondock on. You can also wend your way through the Tamarisk forest and up and down the sand dunes like I enjoy, or you can walk around the Marina, and watch the boats come and go.

With a tremendous amount of help from my daughter in Denver taking care of the legal aspect of my part of the home sale I've been dealing with lately, it looks like things are finally done and it's supposed to close today. But, since I'm not an actual party to the sale, and me or my representative is not required to be at the closing, I probably won't know how things go until I do, or don't, get a check in the mail.

It's not impossible to get stuck in the sand around here.

I have been extremely fortunate to be the first to witness this "Giant Peruvian Condor Of Paradise" in North America.

these giant condors are a hybrid of the Giant Black Condor, and the Hawaiian Bird of Paradise. They get there incredible size from the Giant Black Condors, and their colors from the Bird of Paradise. There only found in the Sahara desert next to Peru because their normal diet is predominantly Peruvians, and the lack of Peruvians in the rest of the world prevent the Giant Condors of Paradise from spreading beyond there current habitat.

But this picture proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that there is a disturbance in the force that has allowed the Giant Peruvian Condors of Paradise to spread far and wide, well beyond where their diet of Peruvians would normally be found, as witnessed by the sight of this poor American hanging limply from the terrible talons of this brutal beast.

I hesitate to write this as I'm positive it will spread fear and panic across this great nation in a matter of hours, but there is no doubt in my military mind that this giant creature is capable of decimating the entire population of America in a  ....... wait a minute, let me get my reading glasses.......hmmmm, Never mind.
