Au Coucher du Soleil. At Sunset


A beautiful day in Adelaide finishes with an even more beautiful sunset. This is the time when the locals and the tourists wander down to the water's edge or along the jetty to watch the sun slowly sink in the west. Or one might simply sit outside at Starbucks with a cappucino. February in Adelaide, still no worries.

"Clo? Who's Clo? Inquiring minds wanna knooooooooooooooooow! HEY! That rhymes...sorry, on my second glass of CA Cab!"

Dear Ame:

I appreciate your friendly rhyme. You have been inquiring about me, yet, you do not seem to ask questions. So here it goes:

I am a trilingual who happens to mispell words, and whose name seems to give rhyming pleasure.

I reside in the State of California and work about fifteen to twenty minutes away from Santa Clara (driving northbound on 101 that is). As you know Santa Clara is next to San Jose and is almost an hour drive from San Francisco.

I began visiting blogs about two years ago and as you know, began leaving comments as of lately.

As to whether I am a man or a woman, I am the former but of course you will probably think differently.

I am a product of the U.S. schooling system and presently work at a Library.

Lastly, I promise not to impose on you or visit your blog, given that I seem to bother you so much, although I do appreciate your photographs and sense of humour.

I never meant to offend nor hide behind anything....

Respectfully,

Clo. the ... (choose whatever witty rhyme that pleases you).

M.Benaut you have my deepest apologies as well. You certainly are a gentleman and I have enjoyed your postings.

Clovis

P.S: Sorry, still hung over from last night.

Clo.

Ame said...

Cloooooooooooooooooooooo...Nooooooooooooooooo! See another rhyme! LOL! ;)

I just didn't know who you were and was going along with the "Nonny Mouse" thingy! ;)

Feel free to visit my blog anytime!

Now you should know me...I don't get angry or bothered by people...life's too short ;)

WOW! 15 minutes north of Santa Clara?

Must be Mountain View or Palo Alto!

Come visit!
=)

Sorry M-B...as Clo's URL-less (LOL!) I had to straighten things out here!

Hello Clovis,
Which other languages do you speak since you are trilingual and speak English? Spanish? French?
PS We had a WONDERFUL Valentine's Day thank you - as you can see from the photos, we went to Glenelg. Look it up on South Australian Tourist information!!

tout par la nuit?! vraiment, vous aimez La Môme beaucoup! alors, je suis heureuse de vous aidez avec cette merveilleuse lyrique! that´s how far I´ll go with my french so far...I´m sure I made a lot of mistakes :-))
First time I´m checking your blog, I was stunned by the beauty of your city, although it is known for it. I´m afraid if I check all these wonderful cityblogs I won´t get any work done!!

Ame said...

ROFL! OK, let me have a few glasses of "red" then it won't matter!!! LOL! ;) Hey we're all old and modesty goes out the window after what, age 21? Life's too short, let it all hang out...well, maybe not ALL! Don't forget, I'm from California! LOL!

On to check out your NEW SNAP!
