Here's to Dustin, the love of my life;
the man who fixed my camera when I dropped it;
the man who straightened my glasses when they were bent;
the man who inspired me to follow my heart and jump across the pond to Japan;
the man who tells me I'm beautiful when I wake up in the morning (feeling less than beautiful);
the man who loves my nose and the wrinkles that are collecting near my eyes;
the man who is in the kitchen even as I write this preparing me a special dinner.
I am so blessed.

I began this day with a walk in Santa Barbara. In the evening I watched the sun set over the ocean in San Francisco. The sunset felt nostalgic, sad and cold. I deeply missed the feeling of summer.

"Topographically the country is magnificent - and terrifying. Why terrifying? Because nowhere else in the world is the divorce between man and nature so complete. Nowhere have I encountered such a dull, monotonous fabric of life as here in America. Here boredom reaches its peak."

"Harry Perry has been the most famous skater in Venice Beach since 1973 when he made his debut as a turbaned, guitar playing, street performer. Originally he wore quad roller skates but later he made the transition to inline skates. Harry has appeared in many movies and videos and in 2002 a likeness of Harry was installed in one of the theme parks at Disneyland in Anaheim California. At one point in his career as a street performer Harry and activist "Jingles" won a free speach lawsuit in a United States Federal court."

I was really playing with my zoom functions. I don't really use them much (not into the grainy texture.)
