Malibu morning picture of the day - Tuesday, March 24, 2015

Dear Family, Friends, and Gentle Readers,

It's Tuesday, and here is your picture of the day:



























Blue on blue, practically clear, there's a light haze over the water that you can see far out.

For the second look I'll zoom in on a section in the lower right and raise the horizon. It makes a difference in how you perceive the ocean.







Ah, the comfort of Melba toast when coming to the realization that where I am is where it is not, will never be and perhaps, never was.



Just in case you need the odd conversation starter today, 114 years ago (1901), opera singer Dame Nellie Melba revealed how she made toast: cutting the bread paper thin and then baking it in the oven until it was crisp and dry, hence the name for Melba Toast.

And just 95 years before that, Lewis and Clark said goodbye to the Pacific Ocean you see above and headed back home on this day. I wonder if it took longer going east than west, like it does today?


Got a busy day ahead with all work cut out. Hope you're the same.

Love,
Pops

Be truthful and frank, but be polite. If you use excessive profanity, I'll assume you have some kind of character flaw like Dr. Wong. Tks!
