I write this today with a heavy heart as the world watches the horrifying news feeds from California. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of those who are suffering and have lost so much. You can rebuild, but life is priceless.

It's been a really rough year for the State of California; first Sonoma and Napa, and now raging wildfires up and down Highway 101 in Southern California.

I took this landscape photography picture in January 2017 at Torrey Pines State Beach, San Diego County, at sunset.
