Aerobics

“The word 'aerobics' came about when the gym instructors got together and said: If we're going to charge $10 an hour, we can't call it ‘jumping up and down’.”
Rita Rudner

These two lovebirds are jumping for joy because today, July 20th, they will be married.
I’m jumping myself because I am the father of the bride. Smiles all around.

Quit Puffing

“I want all hellions to quit puffing that hell fume in God's clean air.”
Carrie Nation

Especially if the hellion is leaning up against a gas pump. This is the lonely
gas station in Kalaupapa, the former leper colony in Molokai, Hawaii.
There are no roads that connect Kalaupapa to the rest of the island.

A Mighty Harmonist

“The ocean is a mighty harmonist.”
William Wordsworth

Along the Big Sur coast.

Down Low

“Don't hang your hat higher than you can reach”
Belize-an Proverb

A sunhat on a table… very reachable.

You can see this in color over here at the Red Umbrella.

By the Sea

“A happy family is but an earlier heaven.”
George Bernard Shaw

I spy a tiny sailboat.

A Budding Sartorialist

“Ev'ry heart beats true
'neath the Red, White and Blue,”
George M. Cohan

A day at the beach (Laguna Beach that is).
Happy Birthday America!

Curb Appeal

“I don't judge others. I say if you feel good
with what you're doing, let your freak flag fly.”
Sarah Jessica Parker
