Because I spend so much time at Malaga Cove Library, I see the following back side of Malaga Cove Plaza every time I leave there. Over the years I have photographed this particular site hundreds of times, but today was simply a perfect day to go do it again.

I own two paintings by local artists of this beautiful scenery.

By the way, are any of you garage salers like I am? I have started leaving my card with sales I visit volunteering to pick up the books afterwards for donation to the library for our monthly book sales. I bring a write-off for their income taxes. I encourage all of you who might be garage salers to do the same.
