A pigeon flying around.  I just discovered that pigeons were once used by The U.S. Coast Guard for Search and Rescue missions.  Another wrinkle on the brain.

Y’all all (that is Texas plural for everyone) have a great week.  And Happy Fourth to the folks in the USA.   Thanks to Saturday’s Critters host Eileen.

Skywatch Friday – April 23, 2015 Edition

Today the skies are mostly clouds here in my part of the world.  I am choosing to share some photos from about a month ago on the shores of the Pacific Ocean.  We visited the Torrey Pines Gliderport.  It was spring break time so lots of activity.

Turns out there is a nude beach, a rarity in the US, just below this cliff.  Maybe that is the reason for jumping!
