So… A September song of quietly shortening days, softer sunlight and for those of us along the California coast – well facing some directions anyway – increasing cool in the evenings and waiting longer for the cloud cover – “marine layer” as it’s called – to clear each day. Somewhere around 2 o’clock or so it burns off and the rising ocean breezes (winds actually) blow it away so we get some sun for a couple hours before it turns cool again. Last night was actually cold! Well … California cold, anyway. 
So who’s going to HAWAII for the end of summer? If you are planning a trip to the Islands, be sure to check out my brother’s Photography site and maybe book some vacation portraits: http://paramountphotography.com/ Even if you’re not going soon, you’ll enjoy looking at his photo gallery.
Yah … so that’s my baby Brother … man! we’re getting old … but still moving at an awesome pace with passion and intention and purpose and learning all in progress. Life just keeps unfolding all around us! His name is Stan … go figure! Laughing … I was my father’s first born and with the instruction that Mom shouldn’t do it again (back in the 50′s ya know …) I got Dad’s name … mostly. Then Baby Brother was born and well, he got Dad’s name – really! So with “Big Stan” and “Little Stan” in the house … I got nicknamed.
