Pushed out to sea by the heat of day, the night fog rolls in with a vengeance. It swirls and snakes and hovers until dawn then retreats, a scrim of white, waiting.

There's no cell service in Solstice Canyon but not to worry, a relic of the distant past -- a working pay phone -- is there to save the day. All you need is something else from a bygone era -- exact change. (Well OK, you can make a credit card call, but where's the fun in that?)

Visit the Cross Creek shopping center these days and it's egret nesting season, about a dozen families raising their chicks in the treetops. There are multiple flights in and out as parent birds hunt the lagoon for food for their growing -- the baby birds are pretty big at this point -- families.
I love the closeup of the egret baby face, and there's a little video of two nestlings squabbling as they wait for a parent to return with lunch.

It's the first full day of summer today and in keeping with the season's first heat wave the sunrise went from cool and misty and atmospheric --

This isn't exactly how it looked when the temps here hit the high 80s yesterday but it's pretty much exactly how it felt.

One of the things I'll miss about this little cottage -- the kitty who lives on the main house roof.

The weather cleared, a swell rolled through, and everyone was very happy.

Few things say Malibu as clearly as the lifeguard stands on Zuma Beach.

The marine layer has weakened in the last few days, breaking up and burning off, the sunlight bringing bits of blue back into the spectrum.

The very sad news is that the property where this little cottage sits is about to undergo a major renovation, from classic Old Malibu ranch to mansionized trophy. So let's get as many coyote pix as possible during the two weeks I still get to be their (fascinated but cautious) neighbor:

The marine layer was pushed out to the horizon and for the first time in weeks, sunlight in the morning. Ahhh...

Yes, we had June Gloom but this was a moment of respite.

Brrr.
If you need a break from the heat, Malibu is the place these days. Got into the car in Agoura Hills on Friday -- 96 degrees. By the time we rolled down Kanan back to PCH? Sixty-three degrees.
And yet it seems to have zero effect on weekend traffic:

Thursday afternoon -- sun!
Thursday evening -- a video. The return of the fog!
