The smoke from the Big Sur fires isn't too bad here as we're down wind but there is a brown cloud floating around.

Shopping in the dark.

It was a first for me today, shopping in the dark! We stopped by the Carmel SPCA thrift store and found the power was out. Not 100% sure why the power was out but I'm guessing it's because of the Big Sur fires happening down the road. PG&E may have shut things down so things don't blow up. When I saw the lights were out, all I could think was, if this was my store in Alameda I would lock the doors ASAP. We get shoplifted a lot so I can't imagine what it would be like with the lights out!

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987
Some times you just have to do something different and see the world from a another angle.

What's with the blog name?
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.
