If this photo were taken on September 11, I would tell you that it is a reenactment of the attack on the World Trade Center. If you look closely, you can see an airplane about to run into the side of one of the twin towers of the Pacific. Ha Ha.

Paula's Photo
The politically incorrect among us call this little island the Chinaman's Hat. 

Paula
We were just sitting on the beach watching the waves, when this bird showed up and posed for Sister Soderborg. She got quite a few amazing shots.

Paula
The mountains along the beach are quite impressive, as well.

Every day we drive by these palm trees perfectly arranged . . .

We found this cairn someone had set up next to a pile of rocks by the beach.

The empty space in the cloud is an optical illusion caused by a cloud of smoke blocking the sun.
