Rock Towers on the Beach: Photos

I was inspired by this artist on Main Beach who created stacks of balancing rock towers among the bare rocks exposed by the receding of the sands in winter. I only caught his first name, Larry, but I got that he was a local artist, and I'll likely see him again.

His towers were lovingly created, as you can see from the first set of pictures.  The stones were painstakingly chosen for their symbolic or unique shapes.  How he managed to create the archway, I do not know.

The artist, Larry, at work.

Now come the towers I created. A lot less elegant, and with no obvious symbolic meaning, but nonetheless, organic, spontaneous art, from the heart, using the natural resources available.

Low Tide, Laguna Beach's Main Beach

Sometimes the tide pulls the water back enough to reveal the treasure trove of polished stones, glass and seashells.  Captured this array on the last such occasion.

Albino Pigeon: Photos.

Ever seen an albino pigeon?  Now you have.  On Main Beach, Laguna Beach, California.

I made friends with this albino pigeon.

With other pigeons for comparison.

Hawaii 2012 Photos, Part 3: Coffee Plantation, Rum Plant, the rest.

We visited a coffee plantation, and a rum plant.  I took many pictures of the plants and flowers.  In a shop, they offered carved coconut sculptures of "menehune," elves of Hawaiian folklore.
