EVERY PHOTO IS A WINNER. THEY ALL BRING BACK TREASURED MEMORIES OF MANY HAPPY HOURS IN A FAVORITE HAUNT. THANKS FOR KEEPING THIS SPECIAL PLACE ALIVE IN YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS. I WILL ADD THEM TO MY EXTENSIVE FILE OF "TRUDY'S PHOTOS.BOLSA CHICA"

wonderful photos, as always, love Bolsa Chica. Glad you are able to go back there after the negative experience.

Trude,
Your pictures are, as always, wonderful to view (sorry about your camera being stolen). Love, love the pictures of the Ridgway's Rail!
Yes, Bolsa Chica is a treasure; I just wish all of the people who visit the area with their dogs sans leashes realized that as well . . .
