500: Made in America (with British parts)

It's brought me great pleasure sharing these 500 images with you all, those who stop by for a fleeting moment or linger longer. With grateful thanks. Sometimes I just talk too much, at least here, so let the ocean breeze through the marine layer do the talking.

But I will say the 500 Blips have followed me on a most incredible part of my own journey that has seen tremendous changes. I often ride on a great rollercoasters of waves and the crests are only made possible by the troughs between. In life, as in photography, we cannot have the positives unless we expose the negatives.

Lovely morning with Callum at the Ocean Park beach playground, toes running through sand as we swing, then our new weekly storytime with Mr Jesse, such an animated guy, full of good humour and huge smiles in the library, followed by icecream. This is our local to home beach at Playa del Rey, expansive sands for miles and lightly visited.

I wanted both the Union Jack and Old Glorys in the Blip and whilst Callum knighting Reuben makes me smile, it missed Old Glory. It's Flag Day. That kind of came to me at about 606pm when I realized I was still Blipless. Right boys, beach, find the flags! Let's go!
Callum knights Reuben et al...

PS Funny I hit 500 friends on Facebook today too
