An lazy afternoon with friends and family?

On an recent visit to the pacific coast I was enamored by these amazing, wonderful creatures. It was so much fun to watch them, they seemed almost drugged with sleep-only time they moved was to find just the right corner to snuggle in...

He was bigger than other in the group- almost an alpha male- - making his displeasure very evident for disturbing his sleep.

 

They look so angelic in their sleep, one can easily forget the tremendous strength and power they possess....

The perfect rock...

Picture diary of a short trip to Southern California

"Classic Sadabhars" outside an office compound…….they somehow always remind me of home- or rather mom’s garden in India. One of the early successes that survived…:-)

Enjoyed lunch at the neighborhood Thai restaurant …………as usual ended up eating “Pad Thai with Tofu”…one of my favorite Thai dishes after Cashew Tofu.

Our comfortable bedroom in hotel suite at the Marriott … On our way to San Clemente, we stopped at this quaint charming place for lunch….

A quick trip to La Jolla Beach…..somewhat favored beaches in south California…

On our trip back from the beach we caught tail end of fireworks at Disney…..Did not have tripod for the pictures :-(

View of Ontario airport…..

Waiting for our flight….

It is an early evening flight back home…

On our way….. :-)
