A happy day

I woke up to a clear sky. Mmmmm, nice. So I went to Trinidad (in California, not the Caribbean) got a breakfast burrito from the hot bar in Murphy’s Market, parked on a bluff overlooking the Pacific, and had my meal. Then I went for a walk in the woods.





There was a trail down to the beach. The tide was low, leaving a stretch of firm sand for easy walking. It was Saturday, so there were a few dozen other people — and some very happy dogs — enjoying the beach. I found a comfortable place to sit and be hypnotized by the waves.



A young couple asked if I would take their picture. “It’s an old film camera,” she said apologetically. I replied that I grew up with film cameras and was not intimidated.




I sat a little longer and a small dog came up and sniffed around. I gave my universal canine greeting, “Hi pup.” It peed on my foot. Oh well, a day can’t be 100% perfect.

  2. My part-time neighbor's dog likes to park his body on my feet. I'd rather he did that than think my boots were dirty and needed a pee-wash. Just a sign they like ya, I'm guessing.
    Don't'cha just love days as you just shared? Aw, so relaxing......
