I vowed I would allow myself to be photographed more, so here’s the first of hopefully many and yes, it is at the beach in San Francisco on a very unusually warm Thursday evening, last week. Walks on the beach is how  I draw inspiration in most anything I need to do or work through, including brainstorming my novels, strategizing my blog topics, or simply planning a weekly dinner menu.  This is probably the best photograph of me, unaware and in the most natural state.
