Beasts of the southern wild

There is a new film by this title I've been wanting to see lately...

But it brings to mind other images from my day. The countdown continues before leaving next week to California. Exchanging this heavy, wet heat for the cool ocean breezes of the Pacific. Meanwhile I'm getting my time in with friends, family, even pets.

Virginia - our beast, loved her walk today. Splashing through the creek bottom, exploring the tangled green mysteries of our very own southern wilds..
