It is eleven a.m.
Groggy, pajama-clad, and opening the front door to put out a package, I’m greeted with a calm Pacific and streaming sunlight. A photograph (or my little photos, in this case) can’t depict the color and vibrancy, or the way the warm dry breeze feels as I inhale. I squint and I smile.

Padding out on the back deck, two plastic pink flamingos and I stare across the Santa Monica Bay out toward Redondo Beach and Palos Verdes. I can usually see the land and the buildings across this 20-some-odd mile span; today the ocean is clear but the haze obscures. Very much like my brain at this time of day. It takes me several hours to ramp up to even approach being as vibrant as this sunshine. I am up most of the night by choice, by mania, by the love of solitude, working often until sunrise. I take some of my best shots of the sky before I sleep, when others are driving into the light.
