Malibu morning picture of the day - Tuesday, July 21, 2015

Dear Family, Friends, and Gentle Readers,

It's drizzly and misty today out on the coast, and a very warm mist at that.



























Not to worry, here's the mist ... just wanted this mosaic I found to show up on my Facebook share.




























Not a lot of definition today. A good day to be a politician I say.

Here's the second look viewing Surfrider Beach. The heavy surf of yesterday is gone and so are all the surfers.













Haven't seen the Malibu mule deer in a while, but two mother-child pairs seemed to be about this morning while I had the camera out. I even caught a crane in the frame too.

Here another part of that mosaic without the graffiti, but it's got an electircal wire tap in it. It's a repeated pattern of back-to-back Middle Eastern lovers that adorn the exterior walls of an old spa on Pico near La Brea.



Even if you are the kind of person who finds this kind of romanticized orientalism quaintly offensive, it nonetheless speaks of a different age when fairy tales were all that a person in L.A. could know about the Levant and its people, beyond their denominations' explanations of the Bible.

It's pretty charming. Starry sky, pagoda like thingies, crossed, curved swords, darkly complected man in a turban, lightly complected woman with a bare midriff (either pre-Islamic or she was freely displaying herself to her lover in private).

Have a great Tuesday.

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!
