Magnolia by the Marina

I took a  very early walk by the San Diego Marina one morning a couple of weeks ago.

There were 2 or 3 of these trees in bloom, and fortunately one of them had blooms low enough to photograph with my 50mm lens.

I had never seen such an interesting grouping on a single petal.

California Color

Lee Vining Canyon Sunday October 19th.

Yosemite was still very green,
The road to Mono Lake was
green until we came to the
valley just outside Lee Vining.

Amazing color in the canyon.

Pismo Waves

Quick snapshot taken on the beach at Pismo, Ca.

Quiet morning, nice waves, and a peaceful way to start the day for all concerned.

A little bit of watercolor effect added for fun!

Looks like fun to me.

Torrey Pines, CA

And so it goes that October is almost here.

Old town in San Diego was busy getting ready
for the upcoming holiday.

Boo!

It is not often that we  can see the humming bird extend their tongue.

This little lady seems to be getting ready to reach deep inside the feeder for a big drink.

Fun to watch.

Yes, another humming bird. Up a little closer this time, and she turned her head just a bit so I could see her brown eye this time.

Busy Saturday cleaning out cupboards and labeling thing so I can figure out what goes with what!

Took my time and actually enjoyed myself.
