We drove to Balboa Park and arrived just in time to hear the Sunday concert with the Speckels Pipe Organ. The setting is an amphitheatre and the organ is the largest outdoor pipe organ in North America. The Organist, obviously a virtuoso, played a variety of pieces to show off the range of the amazing instrument. Sitting outside on a beautiful summer day listening to the heavenly music made me very nostalgic. The morning had reminded us of Dad and his self-educated love for nature and gift in passing it on to us, and Mum, whose 101st birthday would have been yesterday, filled me with emotion as I listened to the heavenly organ music.
We ended the day, sitting on the beach, watching Egrets, herons and a pelican fill up before dark hit. The sunset was spectacular as always.
