Its Another Tequila Sun Rise...
What a week eh my fine flickr friends ????....first David Bowie and then Glenn Frey today - I feel very sad about their passing. Hotel California was the first ever grown up album that I bought when I was 11 and I listened to that album over and over and over again in the summer of 76 . I dreamed of dusty roads and the warm smell of colitas and I loved the whole West Coast /Gram Parsons/Jackson Browne/Eagles sound and it stirred the wanderlust in me that I have carried every since.
I realised a dream in June 2014 and hired a mustang convertible and went on a road trip and drove all around Eagles country in the Southwestern states with the Eagles and Jackson Browne and Joe Walsh on full volume in the car and the wind in my hair. For those of you who have known me a long time on here you will know it was everything I could wish for and more and a part of me will always live there. Check out when I checked into my own Hotel California in Winslow Arizona

Rest in Peace Glenn Frey and as they back in my home country in Ireland - May you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead .
Shot taken this morning just before I got absolutely drenched by a huge wave(see the wave shot on Instagram) . The guy and the girl in the shot are known as The Lovers by the pool - lovely couple who are so very much in love and come down every morning for a swim as the sun rises. The Eyelight of Her Day shot was a daytime shot of them.
