Hidden Gem

Solana Beach Coastal Rail Trail - it runs parallel to the train tracks and is a gorgeous 2 mile walkway.  Perfectly maintained and always in bloom, I love driving alongside the trail.  I've even run it once or twice.

New Parents

Not sure if these are new tenants or the old ones, but it doesn't matter - we have 4 new chicks in the nest.  The "old" babies flew the coop, we dumped out the used nest, and within a day or 2, a new nest was being made and 4 speckled eggs were laid.  And you know I check them daily!

Psychedelic Madeline

Just playing around with some of the features on Lee's new Ipad.

No Hurry

No hurry, no worry - this place will open up soon enough.  Perfect Southern California casual beach attitude.

Chick-Fil-A

My friends in Alabama will laugh at this - Encinitas is getting pretty excited about Chick-Fil-A...and with good reason.  We are not Chick-Fil-A adjacent, in fact, the franchise only came to San Diego a few years ago and the nearest one is not so near.  I DID have some October 2010 in Raleigh, NC with Lee and Jef and sadly,it was not as good as I had remembered. But the sweet tea - delicious! 

Naked Kook

Sometimes the Kook has decorations, and sometimes he doesn't.  I love him no matter what - and I try to drive by on the way home most every day.

Box With a View

If there's a box, there's a Darby.  This one is a little roomier than the "napping" box and if he'd wake up, he'd see a lovely view of the birds.
