Beach Sunset-3

I’ve been in a funk lately, a funk that has been hard to get out of.  I have been unable to focus on anything really and it has been bugging me.  Then, Thursday night while mindlessly surfing the web or watching TV, I can’t remember which I realized that I needed to get out of the house and see nature.  I spoke with Molly and an after school excursion was planned for Friday.  It wasn’t anything crazy, just a trip to Sunset Cliffs to let the ocean breeze blow the funk away.   The early signs point to a successful defunckification, fingers crossed.  While enjoying the ocean breeze I was able to get a few nice shots.Beach Sunset-2

I was a little chilled sitting on the cliffs but then I saw several surfers enjoying a little defunkification of their own.  I warmed right up, and enjoyed the amazing sunset.

Beer Festival

This past weekend my Wife and I went to the 12th Annual Strong Ale Festival at Pizza Port. The beer was a little too strong for my tastes but was excellent regardless.
I took a few shots while we were there but this one stood out as the best.
