California Dreamin.............

*
So as Im drivin home yesterday I realize how amazing the evening weather is and that Im driving along the coast and ..................this is my life. Im on the 101 drivin thru Carlsbad and on the radio are the Mama's and the Papa's singin .............

All the leaves are brown
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
And the sky is grey
Ive been for a walk
Ive been for a walk
On a winters day
On a winters day
Id be safe and warm
Id be safe and warm
If I was in l.a.
If I was in l.a.
California dreamin
California dreamin
On such a winters day

And here I am..........grab my camera and start snappin shots as I drive along the coastline........it amazes me that its February and these images are what I get to enjoy on my way home......

*
The ocean breeze is so incredible .......its fragrance is like a dream.

The Mama's and the Papa's song continues.......

*
Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
Got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold
Preacher likes the cold
He knows Im gonna stay
Knows Im gonna stay
California dreamin
California dreamin
On such a winters day

As I pull up to my parents spot at Ponto I see them waving, mom and dad both raise their glasses to me and cheers the air, Mike and Meg pop up from their chairs and cheers me as well.....the sun has nearly set now......
the mama's and the papa's finish with

All the leaves are brown
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
And the sky is grey
Ive been for a walk
Ive been for a walk
On a winters day
On a winters day
If I didnt tell her
If I didnt tell her
I could leave today
I could leave today
California dreamin
California dreamin
On such a winters day
California dreaming
On such a winters day
California dreaming
On such a winters day

I think to myself....this is my real life. I am California Dreamin...........On such a winters day.
