Voilà!
Nate After the Big Haircut*
* Nate is plugging his hears because Marie was busy making some shave ice in the kitchen.
This morning, I took him into the barbershop to get his crazy hair back to a more manageable length. Today’s 365 is a last look at Nate before he gets clippers taken to it.

Finally, I felt good enough to get out of the house today! With Nate in tow, I drove up the coast to check out the place where I caught my first really memorable wave. I was riding a borrowed 1970’s 8′6″ Skip Frye with a crazy vee bottom. I remember making a bottom turn and feeling the sensation of being on what felt like an endless wave. It’s a perfect little wave too.
Today, there wasn’t much size to it, but there was nobody on it. I mean nobody. I’ve seen it plenty of days this size with a dozen people paddling around each other to get one of these tasty little morsels.
Of course, I was watching Nate so I didn’t even have my board with me so I just tried not to look at all the little waves go unridden. Instead, we tried to find some cool shells and picked up some trash here and there until it was time to head off the the park as I had promised.

This morning, I was back at Dockweiler for some more shots of the big cement jetty north of Imperial. There was a lot of wind blowing straight onshore so the surf wasn’t much to speak of. So no paddle out which is fine because it gave me enough time to get my 365 post up for the day.

Randy’s Donuts has probably been in more feature films than Arnold Schwarzenegger. Of course, I don’t have an exact count, but it seems that every other time there is a montage of Los Angeles, Randy’s Donuts is featured.
Today, it is the feature of my 365! Who doesn’t love a good donut every now and then?!

Yum!!!
My family and I met up with my brother’s family to spend an afternoon at the tidal pools at Royal Palms State Beach. I brought my camera, of course, and was able to nab a couple shots just before the sun went down.
Happy Sunday!
