Can you believe someone actually said we hadn't been posting enough sunset pictures. here is a good "going going gone" sequence of the sun setting over now the northern tip of Santa Catalina Island. When we first arrived the sun was setting south of the island. It is kind of fun to have such an obvious landmark along the horizon--makes it easy notice the days getting longer.
We found this friendly fellow crawling around behind our clay pots when we were watering our plants.
We've shifted to a much earlier schedule out on the west coast. this was yesterdays sunrise.
I thought i'd also shoot a series of the sunset yesterday.
Just to give those an idea to those not yet convinced of what a view we have. This is the view from the kitchen looking through the living room.
San Clemente was named after San Clemente Island, which in turn was named by the explorer Vizcaino in 1602 after Saint Clement, whose feast day occurs on November 23, the day of Vizcaino's arrival on the island. The Island is straight off the beach, not barely visible in this photo at sunset.
We met some friendly folks in Sothern California who were cool enough to let us barrow some gear and go surfing.
