When we arrived at Paradise Cove north of Malibu this morning, it was still foggy and cool.
By noon the sun had broken through and the 4th of July weekend was officially underway.
We lounged around, watching the sea and the clouds.
I read French Glamour and started a new book, Hot House Flower and
the 9 Plants of Desire.
My friend Veronique, who lives nearby, stopped by to say hello...
We ordered french fries, chicken wings and fish tacos from
the Paradise Cove Beach Cafe. Everything was lovely, until...
Throngs of people descended upon our little beach. So we came home. Sunburned and happy, with Polaroids covered with sand and french fry grease.
Happy Weekend!!

PS: These Polaroids were taken with my 180 Land Camera.

These are fantastic shots! I love the vintage feel the Polaroid film gives it. So lovely.
Enjoy!!
these are just lovely - sounds like a fabulous day!
What a beautiful start to the summer. Your polaroids evoke all the memorable beach days of childhood. You once mentioned you grew up in New Mexico. Where and when did you first discover the joys of seaside sand and sun?
We went to Topanga last night. Just a few other couples and a group of kids with guitars. Moonlight and the waves lapping the shore...
Oh lovely! I was looking forward to these after seeing your tweet earlier today! I think I must plan a beach trip now!
happy weekend - love the bright blue polas
It was so lovely to see you! And your Polaroids are fantastic -- so moody and evocative. You have such style, mon amie. (And a wonferful family.)
Oh Ms. V! it was so nice to see you today!!! you have a gorgeous backyard: the most beautiful coastline in the world. I'm so excited about your new blog!!
Love the look and feel of the shots- so much like a memory we have had from a day at the beach. Candyfloss, suncream - does it still smell like coconut? and sand.

Aaaaaahhh, lovely, I wish I could drag my husband to the beach. He used to live on the beach in Goa, literaly, but now, he's not much of a beach enthusiast.
