Venice Beach
It is the most urban beach scene possible
in the world.
But you still find it strewn with seaweed,
and the shells of mussels, clams and oysters.
It's the kind of delicious shock you will not get from celebrity spotting at Spago.
L.A. is so much more than what the Hollywood publicity machines will have you think about it. I'm still new here, but this October I'm reminded of how much there is to love.

This is when the world seems more amazing- how one side the leaves are falling and the air is getting colder and on the other side it still is warm and sunny. xo
ReplyDeleteOctober? Are you sure? a little bit jelous greetings from Paris!
ReplyDeleteà Paris la plage semble bien loin et l'été aussi...merci pour ce petit dépaysement...il ne manque que l'odeur de l'air marin...!
ReplyDeleteUn octobre en été, qui ne finit jamais... Quel beau lieu de vie que le tien :)
ReplyDeletethere's a lot to love about a city close to that kind of beach!
ReplyDeleteoh the beach - I miss it much!

Nice !! I like that shell in the last photo !! Very cool !!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing to live near such a beautiful beach! This is what I associate with summer, but why not have summer in october? ;o)
ReplyDeleteThe beach is wonderful and we can still enjoy our beaches on the Gulf Coast. The little boy in the first photo mirrors the petit garçon in my post today. Different setting, but about the same age and position... like minds
ReplyDeleteBises,
Genie
I hope you'll share other lovely unexpected sights. (And if you run into actor James McAvoy, please ship him to me.)
ReplyDeleteOh I envy you - the sea at the doorstep ... and it is still so warm that you can go swimming. Wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you love where you are so much. Thanks for the tour of Venice Beach :)
ReplyDeletePour moi, ces liexu (LA, Venice beach, etc.), ça reste un monde irréel, de cinéma. Je n'arrive pas à croire qu'il y a des heureuses personnes qui voient "ça" tous les jours et pour qui c'est "juste" la vie quotidienne. Fantastique !
ReplyDeleteso nice photos ... and you have summer in october as well :)
ReplyDeletenow this is a place i dipped my toe into ocean water, in 1990, to be exact. i recognize its peculiar views. i can't believe it feels like this in october. but there it is. wow.
