What an awesome day this was! My family and I drove out to Point Loma to see the Cabrillo monument and the historic light house. A bonus prize for this trip was one of the best views of San Diego and the Bay that you can find. Took me a lot longer to put this together on my computer than it did to take it!

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend. Here's a couple of images that I took from the roof of my hotel in San Diego. It was such a beautiful evening.
Hope everyone has a great Sunday. Check back tomorrow for some San Diego sunset goodness!
This is the historic lighthouse on Point Loma in San Diego. The original structure was built in 1855 and has been renovated several times. It's no longer used, but it's an awesome place to visit and the views of San Diego are stunning. I was lucky to be there on an overcast day to capture and image I had been kicking around in my head for a while. I love how the trees have been bent by the constant wind coming in from the Pacific. Using an extremely wide angle lens distorted the lighthouse so it too seems bent from the wind.
Sorry about the late posting today, I was wiped out last night. Hope everyone is having a non cloudy day today!
We came across this resupply operation on our last trip down to San Diego. My boys were screaming, "look, look, that is so awesome!" and I was all like, "meh". Who am I kidding, I was freaking out too! I had to pull over at a lookout point and get some shots. It seems that each time we drive down we see something new and interesting.
It was raining on and off here yesterday, so during one of the lulls (not lulz) I went out to the roses by our driveway and had a macro session. Let me say that any of you who are pursuing photography in any area, you're gonna make a lot of mistakes. This is how you learn. When I first started my photographic journey (man that sounds snooty) I took macro pictures almost exclusively. I loved peering into that tiny world that exists around us and showing that to others. Having shot quite a lot of close up images, you'd think I'd have some clue about choosing subjects and making strong compositions. Wrong. I shot maybe 50 images yesterday, and I had maybe 2 that I liked. I even got frustrated while I was shooting because I knew I wasn't getting what I wanted. But I had to remind myself that it's all learning. Mistakes are great teachers, and I've had lots of teachin'. Bottom line, keep trying, keep pushing, something beautiful is waiting at the end.
