I’m craving one of these! We have stopped to eat at this cafe in Dog Patch twice now while in the city to photograph different venues. It’s called Just for You. They are always crowded. They serve your beignet before your meal if you order a meal. They are fresh, hot, sweet, goodness, and not calorie free or small!

Double D and set up for the sunset at a couple of different locations along this beach, but ended up on the south end where the only color was, and it was just a wee bit of color at that. The texture and waves made up for any lack of color in the sky on this occasion. I can’t complain. The sound of the pounding surf is so relaxing, and I had a great day. I photographed Allen’s Hummingbirds, a Mission that had been on my list for sometime, met a nice couple there, found the Calla Lilies in a ravine, met a friend not seen in months, met Derek, and spent the day with a good friend- Double D. No, nothing to complain about at all.

Another photo from yesterday morning. He’s sipping the nectar from this Ruby Cluster bush. This bush is ginormous! It’s about 7-8 feet tall, and just as wide.
