First day of summer!

solstice sunrise

Yes, it's Father's Day, but it's also the summer solstice, which means these are the most daylight-filled 24 hours of the year. (I confess I slept in this morning so this shot of the solstice sunrise is from last year.)

The New York Times, which has had a bunch of LA-based stories all week long, focuses its "36 Hours In..." feature in the Travel section today on our own little slice of heaven, Malibu. It's a nice piece, hits the high points -- including a shout-out to Terra, one of Malibu's best restaurants -- and skips some still-secret spots, and manages to ignore the major fact of Malibu summer life:

welcome to summer

Yep, traffic.

Welcome!
