I belong to an entertainment fellowship, Premise, and we meet once a month to pray for each other. Premise is geared toward writers, directors, directors of photography, producers, agents, editors, but not actors (they have their own organizations 🙂 ) . Anyway, we like to have a picnic in the Spring, just for hanging out and having fun.
This year, we had our picnic at Malibu Bluffs State Park. And literally, up on the bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
I’d taken my camera along, but forgot to use it until everyone was starting to head home. And then, I forgot to take any pictures with the ocean in the background. Oh, duh. But believe me, it was there, shining brightly in the sun.
Anyway, from the park, you can see straight up to the Pepperdine University campus on the other side of the Pacific Coast Highway.

When you get filmmakers together, they inevitably end up talking about films, of course.
These two ladies were talking about films appropriate for pre-teens.
Well, actually, they were just then having a “mom chat”, as both have young girls and they were comparing notes.
This gent was listening to a discussion of There Will Be Blood.
Well, actually, not at that particular moment. That discussion had happened earlier over our pizza. He’s another comic book reader, and we had exchanged appreciations of Iron Man. (And yes, that hair color is his natural shade.)
As for this group of friends —
— we were talking about our different backgrounds, where we were from originally; Florida, Alabama and Illinois, if I remember correctly (Me, I’m originally from Michigan).
As you can see, it was a lovely day for being out with friends.
