Here is a picture from a short trip to La Jolla's Children's Pool. I arrived a bit later than planned and the sun was near the horizon already. By now, I have photographed and posted pictures from many sunsets, and so I thought for variation sake I should depict ...
Yesterday was dark and gloomy, which prompted me to attend to the previously avoided (digital) spring cleaning. Clearly, photographing daily has its drawbacks. After an outing, I might put off reviewing or posting older projects for a few days. In actuality, I end up forgetting about it the next ...
Working with the idea of wetland avifauna, I returned to the Southern Wildlife Preserve. The tide was much lower than before, and there were fewer animals apparent in the basin. I planned to take a walk along the paved bike path toward the ocean in hopes of seeing a ...
Night approached and I put away the telephoto lens. The birds were comfortable back at their homes and I had just one more task to accomplish while standing in a conglomerate of years of bird droppings. The glowing orange sun dipped in behind the puffy clouds to once again ...
Here is another lovely day at La Jolla Cove. This is my fourth post regarding this part of town, but my repetitious behavior towards the cove, its inhabitants and scenery has not become dull to me. It seems that each time I am compelled to fulfill an elusive image ...
I decided on an early afternoon trip to the cove to see what the bird situation would be like. It was very warm and the birds decided to take a midday siesta leaving me with nothing to photograph. I climbed around the rocks, down the cliff only to find ...
This morning I made an early visit to the San Elijo Lagoon in Encinitas, California. The reserve extends from the ocean inland past the interstate, and effectively encloses the entire wetland in the valley. I took a short walk around the perimeter of the nature center trail to get ...
I made another stop by the caves in La Jolla to find more birds. The day before, I had seen black skimmers passing above the waves on the other end of the La Jolla shoreline and now was curious as to where I they might find more of them ...
Along the southern La Jolla shoreline flew pelicans, western gulls, terns and black skimmers. Before today, I had never seen skimmers but their low-gliding feeding behavior made their identity clear. They glided smoothly over the ocean with their lower mandible tracing the water's surface in hopes of finding a ...
Whenever I am unsure where to go for photography, I seem to comfortably revert the decision to La Jolla. This phenomena could be attributed to the town's variety of wildlife along the beaches and caves, or maybe the attractive "new" feeling that tourist cities lend to possess, or simply ...
