Merrik recently started begging me to have Ford and Frances over for a play date. I asked their mom, Amber, who is a great person and of course one of those awesome moms from Serra Preschool if we could get together. At the OK of Merrik we ended up stopping over at their house after [...]

I received the tragic news yesterday that my dear friend, photography peer and supporter, Cindy Schafer, was killed with her husband Bruce in a float plane crash on their way back to the mainland from their vacation home on Saturna Island. I have known Cindy’s undying energy and enthusiasm since before Jim and I went [...]

Last week I sent out a spontaneous email inviting some friends and family to join us at the San Clemente State Beach for a beach fire and BBQ. We showed up at 3:00pm and fortunately my good friend, Chris had already arrived and snagged the last table available next to a fire pit. By the [...]

The beach trail is like a lifeline around here. It is the source of the outdoor community in San Clemente. It is always wonderful to go down to the shore but not have to just play in the water or sit in the sand. Today was an especially gorgeous day at the beach. I think [...]

Merrik’s friend Shane has the best birthday parties in town. This year there was a bounce house and an amazing animal show with cotton candy and snow cones plus lots of other goodies. I think the parents had just as much fun at this party as any of the kids. To see all the pics [...]
