Fires and the Beach

{Insert obligatory apology here for not posting recently}  We rode bikes down the hill last weekend because it was in the 90's here. I really am sorry to those of you who live where there are "seasons." Honestly, this isn't an attempt to rub it in your face, but I guess the weather is one reason why there are over 3 million Angelenos in LA.

Nic is showing off her beautiful belly, and Siena is wandering in and out of the tide. By the way, cute rash guard. (compliments of Tim and Sheri)

There was a really low tide, so it made for a wide expanse of hard sand for Siena to toot around on. I'm considering submitting this shot to the Mommy and Me Miss El Segundo pageant. The industrial backdrops are all the rage these days.

You can see in the background the ash and smog blowing in from the Anaheim/Yorba Linda fires last weekend. This photo is looking South, you can see Palos Verdes on the left of the picture. All of these photos were taken on a "warm" setting on our camera, but I think they really capture how the day felt. When the ash rolled in, it seemed like the sun was setting at 2 PM.
