We're in the midst of a stretch of (blessedly, in this era of climate change) season-appropriate marine layer so thick that we heard the familiar rumble of the Goodyear blimp for many minutes before it finally bobbed into hazy view.

The spring landscape offers a bit of floral relief to the daily dose of May Gray:

Multiple sets in multiple ponds across Malibu.

With more time this morning I would have added a thought balloon above Walter's head filled with all of the complexity of his canine...oh who are we kidding?
It would say: ballballballBALLBALLballBALL!

First light in Paradise Cove, sometime last April.

Sun setting last night, birds flying home, bats just emerging and Walter starts to growl. He's caught a scent, heard something on the ridge, and that's when these three appear.
After a few quiet weeks, coyotes. They're new here, large and strong and healthy and fearless. They sweep down to the flats and the canyon goes silent except Walter, the growl a sustained tone now.
They're eating up distance without breaking a trot, scanning as they move through the meadow. In a moment they're back up above and Walt's straining to chase, valiant if not very wise.

Often enough on a weekend morning a road rally leads to Vintage Grocers at the Trancas shopping center.
Last week, amid all of the beautiful cars, this little lozenge of rolling chrome blew the rest of them out of the water.

This one's from Dec. 2007. Sunrise, not sunset.
*oops.

Mulholland Highway -- still one of my favorite SoCal roads.

More marine gray today so here's a bit of blue:
May 3, 2016
It's already here, that summer feeling of soft air and high skies and bird voices more concerned with the fine points of territory than the blunt force of survival.
You're lured awake by early light, by the salt scent of the Pacific, the days longer yet time shorter, so much still to do.

In the absence of rain, we make do with a bit of marine layer.

I didn't realize until I downloaded the latest shots that one of our coyote neighbors has been hurt.
