PS

Photos

Accidentally changed a setting in google + that has made all of my photos disappear.

Can not retrace my steps.  Don't even know how I happened upon it in the first place, but I did this morning, randomly, and foolishly checked a box that has obliterated my photos.

These simple, split second accidents drop me down a technological,

trouble shooting black hole.

It's a time suck and very frustrating.

And they occur more often than I like to admit.
 Ah, the infant stages of technology in which we live.

Day Tripping

An ebay purchase,

hard to find vintage Brown Jordan chaise lounges to match my patio furniture in PS,

led to an unexpected Presidents Day road trip to Newport Beach.

My GPS tends to find me driving north or east.

South is a very uncommon direction.  

I embraced the adventure, and after a google search decided on 

Crystal Cove State Park for a 5 mile hike in the bluffs

followed by a stroll by the water and nap on the beach.

Sometimes the universe takes us on a circuitous route to give us exactly what we need.

Glorious day in nature with my camera.

I feel invigorated to face a new week.

Still Alice

Loved the script,

the film is even more poetic.

Gorgeous performances.

The stunning Julianne Moore is raw,

grounded, authentic.

Not an easy movie to watch.

In truth, disturbing and very scary.

One does not know what the future holds for loved ones or oneself.

Frances McDormand

Frances McDormand grimaced during the Golden Globes.

She seemed unable to hide her disdain for her uber-thin, and smooth skinned peers.

This interview makes me think I was dead on.
