Incredible colors in those sunsets!

Speaking of sunsets, I was invited to a Sunday afternoon gathering at a mountain estate in Pacific Palisades, CA (north of Santa Monica and south of Malibu). The home faced west and had an incredible view of the Pacific coast. As the afternoon progressed, a few clouds gathered so that when the sun spectacularly went down everything turned to puffy clouds of orange and pink in the sky above us and, of course, over the ocean. It was like being in a dream.

Beautiful photo of Flathead Lake, Lucille. I lived just south of there, in Ronan Montana, for a year back in the late 90s before moving to Alaska. Very lovely area, but I did miss the ocean. I love all these sunsets. We’ve been having some stunning ones lately, through our spate of gorgeous weather.

Tundra, the Montana photo would certainly make a lovely painting, though it’s great in its own right, too. I do so miss seeing and being on the Pacific. I got out of California at the right time. But there are so many lovely places along the coast both north and south that I long for and which make for incredible views and places to anchor a boat.
My Mom’s brother had a yacht sales business in southern CA. It was great meeting him when he and my aunt would sail a new yacht across the Pacific from Taiwan where the brass work was done into the CA port where his client would take possession. The good old days!

Venice is my favorite city. Bucket list item is to live there for a year. It would take that long to visit all the beautiful churches and points of interest. And have continental breakfasts at the street cafes.

You’d get a pretty good course in the beautiful Italian language as a bonus, Czarina! Not a bad bucket list item.

I fell in love with Venice when a teenager after seeing the Katharine Hepburn/Rossano Brazzi film entitled SUMMERTIME…released in 1955 and photographed exquisitely. Good copies can probably still be obtained since it was filmed in Technicolor which generally doesn’t fade.

When I was 7, we had come back from Gitmo and I was starting school in Norfolk, VA. While standing in line to go in the first day, the other kids were talking about integration and they were scared because they said the black kids always carry knives. I didn’t believe it then. But, some of those MSM talkers seemed to say it is true now.

When my brother was in high school, 1969 or so, the school boundaries were changed so more black kids would go to that school. It was already full of Cubans, and the two groups of boys did not get along in Miami. To defer trouble, the FBI sent agents to stand in the hallways. Really.

Taking a good book? I have four which I have started and keep putting down because they do not hold my interest. Of course, it may be because they are books I feel I “should” read to improve my mind or something like that. Maybe I just need to go to the library and look for one that captures me.
