A Picture Perfect Day in Carlsbad

A Picture Perfect Day in Carlsbad

 

No, it’s not today, nor was it yesterday.

 

But it was a picture perfect day last Saturday in Carlsbad. In the mid 70s and not a cloud in the sky. Pretty wonderful for a late January winter day. It felt almost like summer. No wonder so many want to live in Carlsbad.

And everyone was out enjoying it, as tends to happen when the weather is like that, especially in the winter. Traffic was heavy, beaches were crowded, the Village was busy, there was little parking along the coast road, and surfers were out in abundance.

It was especially nice since I took an hour off of working to spend some time at the beach with my camera, and even caught a shot of some whales (well, their spouts) off the coast. This year we reportedly have the largest concentration of whales migrating south to the Baja area, and lots of people were out on the bluffs watching for them. The whale watching cruises are probably having a hey-day!

Jeff - that certainly looks inviting to me especially since I am currently standing on a cold train platform.

Jeff, that was a picture perfect day. So cool that you caught the whales too. It's nice when we stop and take some time to enjoy the beauty that surrounds us.

Grant Schneider - ugh. I have been watching the weather back east. Nasty stuff. And more on the way it seems

Noah Seidenberg - no argument here. Come on out

Kathleen Daniels - they were pretty far out but I lucked out. It was a wonderful hour away from business, chores, etc.

Gorgeous.  Wish I was there.  We have had some mild temps but now expecting snow for the weekend.  Oh Boy.

Oh it sounds so nice Jeff and to see people on the beach under umbrellas in January gives me hope that spring will be here soon. Hopefully.

Belinda Spillman  - I saw that on the news. This too shall pass. If it's any consolation, it's been gray and ugly all week since our gorgeous weekend.

Debbie Reynolds  - well it was pretty ironic since so many places were having bad weather. It's what I appreciate so much living here after so many years in New England

Sybil Campbell  - thanks for stopping by and for the compliment

Hello Jeff,

    I was just speaking with John Meussner yesterday and mentioned I missed the California beaches.  Your recent picture of a AR Meet Up showing the sand and surf in the back ground made me nastalgic.  These pictures are gorgeous and do no good in eliminating the yearn of the ocean smells and sounds.  I believe a road trip of sorts is in order very soon.  Thank you for the fantastic shots.  Mark

I was thinking going to the beach this Sunday.  Now, looking at your picture, I wish I did:) It would be so nice to have a little walk in Malibu or Santa Monica.

We should be visiting with you.

We started the day with freezing rain. It was difficult to go down the front steps to pick up our Washington Post. The rest of the day was very windy and cold.
