The heat of August:
Swimming, music and a cat
Instant diversion!

I've been swimming a lot
and trying to keep cool...

August Portrait

As a jazz vocalist/member of All About Jazz,
and the recent celebration of their 30th year,
(I've been listing my gigs from Japan
from the beginning!)
I was gifted a livestream link to a performance
at Smoke Jazz Club,
(at my old neighborhood on the Upper West Side, NYC,
the place was "Augie's", then.)

It was a pleasure to watch and listen to this livestream,
and the celebration of a great quintet's
Album release: "Split Decision".

Here's a track from it:

Accompany me all-year long

Today is the birthday of a beloved
friend I haven't seen since I left Japan.

Happy Birthday, Kenji!

Sunset, Old Glory,
and Lenticular Clouds...

An outstanding cruise
on my bicycle at dusk:
Spectacular views!

© 2025 Pamela MacCarthy

Greetings on this first day of August!

One of the best sunsets last night.
I played music from ЯпаРадио,
a psy-trance internet radio station from
Moscow, Russia to cycle with.

Their music rocks!

As Above, So Below...

Colors of sunset
Set my imagination loose:
2 warring creatures!

© 2025 Pamela MacCarthy

My sister and I took a drive last night,
and noticed the outrageously cool sunset!

I saw "Jaws" in this one...

Clouds and Sun...

Dramatic colors
Often seen in Florida's
Summer skies, enjoy!

© 2025 Pamela MacCarthy

Summer here in central coast Florida,
is hot tous les jours
with afternoon thunderstorms.

I love the dramatic skies...

And here is little Miss Mischief,
growing like a weed!
