Safari, Beginner, IF

Let's go surfin' now, everybody's learnin' how...

When school lets out in a few weeks and even as the gas prices soar,
I hope the kids still manage to go on beach safaris.

Loading up the friends and boards, cruisin' PCH, summer mischief always beckons.
It's part of the southern California culture, you know?


And then...
Since Blogger locked the doors to the playhouse late last week, my last minute efforts were put on hold. Never mind. And don't think that the irony of posting my beginners, as the topic was ending, wasn't appreciated here!
While crouching among the flowers and pulling weeds, the inspiration for "Beginner" struck me. Just had to wait to post both topics.
Better late than never, I say.

I have been busy planting in the garden today so your beautiful sunflower seeds were very apt.It was very quiet when blogger went down..I really missed my blogging friends. I'm glad everything is back, we could all jump into your safari bus and head to the beach now!

  8. This made me smile and I so needed that today. I love the 'outside the box' spin you took on the theme. I totally dig the solid colors and objects against the softer, more abstract background.
