Lazy Sunday..... My first fish

Spent this weekend out in east county San Diego, fishing and camping at Lake Henshaw.  With summer in full swing, it's a challenge to make last minute reservations at many of the more popular campsites.... so in a determined attempt to go camping, we found same day openings at Lake Henshaw.  It's a ridiculously tiny "town" alongside a quiet lake in the Palomar Mountain foothills.  It was a quick and easy escape for an evening under the stars.  But the highlight- I finally caught my first fish!  A catfish, that to my excitement nibbled on my grasshopper!  YAY!

On that note, we returned back to the beach to enjoy a beautiful afternoon with friends in Cardiff. A lazy Sunday before the busy week.......  

Lazy Sunday.... Del Mar

It's finally starting to feel like summer! Brought Sasha to Dog Beach in Del Mar on Sunday afternoon.  It was chaos with dogs in every size and every breed playing fetch into the surf and intrusively sniffing anything that moved.  There was also a volleyball tournament and the Del Mar fair was in full swing.  The ferris wheel definitely caught the eye of many of the children.  Glad I didn't have to be those parents and come up with a convincing excuse why they didn't need to go to the fair :)  

Lazy Sunday .... Painting

Today was a lazy, very lazy, day.  Waking up to drizzle and overcast skies, I watched a marathon of Datelines on MSNBC... yes, I have a love for Dateline.  But finally the sun peaked through mid-day, and I took the pup out and soaked up some vitamin D.  And then happily, I got a burst of creativity.  I came home, opened all the windows, turned on trusty Pandora, and started painting.  I made some good headway on my latest canvas, and have been happy with where my ideas going thus far.  We shall see......
