A hankering for the ocean grabbed hold of me this morning...
...and for a strawberry shake in the restaurant at the end of the pier...
...but I never got any closer than this...Signal Hill.
There are the peaks of Catalina Island, 26 miles across the sea, rising above the smog.
...not much snow this year in the San Bernardino Moutains.
where the pier and the strawberry shake can be found.
Perhaps I will go there tomorrow.
...such as this one. How would you like to live next to an oil well?
I could hear the machines creaking and squeaking as they pump the oil out of the ground.
It must be more aggravating than crickets when trying to sleep at night.
With this amazing weather we are having there were lots of people
walking or running or just enjoying the views.

How nice to live in such a pretty place. Nothing much scenic here...at least not close to our house.I'm a little jealous! :-)
That is an incredible view. Look how sunny it is where you are! Oh my!
Enjoy those walks.
Very nice. I'm enjoying some of your weather now and I hope to get out and walk tomorrow. No excuses since the weather is perfect!
Good Morning Sara....I love your walks...the scenery in Ca. is gorgeous....except for the oil thingie...When I came to LA years ago that's all I remember seeing out in the fields...I am still living for the day that me and daughter can take a trip and we want to travel from San Diego all the way up the coast....I want to see Santa Barbara and Carmel....I'm getting older by the day I better do it soon....in the meantime your pictures are very inspiring.......Have a good rest of the week...

This post has given me an extreme longing for my birth place. I was born in Long Beach and I just applied for grad school at CSULB. Thanks for all the beautiful pictures.

OMG Sara - I see the Zeppelin at the airfield!! Remember my flight was canceled last year due to a mechanical problem at the last moment - well we are booked to go on Feb. 16 - flight over SF - prior to heading to Hawaii. My fingers are crossed in hopes I do it this time - and Bob will be with me.
Lovely views - agree the oil well does not make an attractive garden ornament!!
Hugs - Mary
P.S. That sounded silly - we are NOT flying to Hawaii on the airship - just a regular plane the following day!!!!!!
Just a dream! Wonderful pictures for me in my winter time:-)
My goodness, living so close to an oil well. Did not know oil was pumped in your area.
