Today is super-saturated. As I entered the Newport Back bay on my bike I was inundated with heavy cool wet floral smells. The pepper trees are in berry, the wattle is blooming, buckwheat, marsh grasses, native sunflowers, bottle brush, willows, Eucalyptus. A new memory around every corner. Wattle will do that to a girl.
Bird migration is happening right now too. Loads of redwing black birds, ibis, an assortment of ducks. Super saturated with birds. I saw two swans on my ride on Friday. What glories!
Saturday JE and I rode from just off the PCH to the end of Huntington beach park. A fun long ride (31.54 miles round trip) Huntington Beach was having its annual international kite flying event. JE and I got some great video of the peir, the surfers, dolphins, vollyballers, kite flyers, rollerbladers, bike riders, etc for our movie for our travel documentary for our film fest this December. It was such a beautiful day and hard to believe that it was the last day in FEBRUARY!!! At the kite fest, there was very little wind and the commentator (trying to make us feel less gilted) read off some weather reports from places like Chicago, Wisconsin, New York. Brrrrr.... I think the lowest he read was 17 degrees. Here we were in short and t-shirts and sunscreen biking along the beach. We saw an older lady in a bikini riding her cruiser with a radio in the backet listening to the Mama's and the Papa's "California Dreamin'" Livin' the dream, man! Livin' the dream!
