This set is made up of recent shots of local sites and people of special interest to me.  Some of the people have expressions that give some clue about them, at least I think so.

Popup LinkSurfers wait for the big one, with Los Angeles Harbor in background, some 8 to 10 miles distance

Popup LinkOcean view houses along Pacific Coast Hwy, all one needs is at least $1.5 million

Popup LinkAt Bolsa Chica preserve, I believe this is a Black Crowned Heron, amazing red eyes

Popup LinkAnother view of the heron, seemed very elusive

Popup LinkMarine combat vet of Korean War, chat with him regularly at Starbucks.  Now disabled, but a great fighting spirit

Popup LinkVisiting Texas pal who seems not to believe my tall tales

Popup LinkClassmate of my wife @ Univ of Texas, our Maid of Honor.  This look tells you why they have survived 55 years of happy marriage

Popup LinkMrs BB, a/k/a The General.  Her look gives away her great patience, putting up with me for 55 years

    I hope Rockadee can confirm the Heron species, and I left out one word, Black Crowned Night Heron.

    I salute the General, BB, they also serve who stand and wait. That's probably not the correct quote but the idea is the same... she has served our country as well as you. All the shots are great, as usual, but that one, of Mrs. BB, is the one that struck me.
