I love that Sulpher is a black cat we adopted on Friday the 13th who was born on the Ides of March. She's such a lucky little thing.

Valeria and Sonyaaa mirror each other.

Omg, awwwww! Is it just me, or are they sleeping together more often now that Sulpher's around? Maybe a sort of "*you* are my sister, and she just lives here" thing.

Water flows around the pebbles on the beach, Coronado Island.

I really like this one (and 6689). Ahhhh, I want it to get hot out so that I can go poke around in the ocean.

I'm not sure. There's a bit of a selection bias going on here in that I notice when they're together but I won't notice when they're apart.

I really like this one (and 6689).

6753 was part of a study on water textures. I spent some time watching the way it bubbled and shaped itself around the small obstruction, alternating between a smooth mirrored surface and a turbulent rush of particles across sand. I very much enjoyed watching it. 6689 is also part of that study, but it also has a nifty wave in it -- I'm not usually lucky enough to capture a wave right as it is breaking and before the spray.

It won't be long now ^_^

I just hadn't seen them together very often since they were kittens, and yet recently there've been several photos of them together from you, and I'm like "wow, this is kinda new." That you'd have much of an opportunity to get a photo of them together.

I like ocean.

Never underestimate their willingness to come together near feeding time.

Ocean is nice. Ocean is nearby ^_^

Yeah, it came out rather nicely. I have a whole series of photos of that wave coming in and going out again; a couple of other exposures had some nifty patterns in the bubbles.

Sonyaaa looks kind of ominous with no illumination but a laptop.

And your state does have some pretty nature.

You should have been there when we both walked in on Sonyaaa and she was sitting there looking at us ominously from there.

Once you distance yourself from the smog layer a bit, California is quite a lovely state...
