Evil Dr Seuss and Other Surprising Photos

Posted on Feb 20, 2013 in photography

It was raining like crazy today.  But not so continuously that I could not take a quick break in the action to capture these mid- San Diego storm photos.  Among the photos is Evil Dr Seuss which is the sinister looking photo of the Dr Seuss tree framed by dramatic sunset storm clouds.   It was awesome being out there taking photos when it was completely empty.  Just me, the seals, the seagulls and some clouds.

This poor little baby seal was frightened by the coast guard helicopter. It was so cute.

I didn’t dare set foot out too far on the jetty today for fear of getting soaked by the crashing waves.

Take a Sunset Walk through San Diego

Posted on Feb 18, 2013 in nature

If you want a beautiful sunset, is there anywhere more beautiful to see it than San Diego?  This view is a few mere steps from my front door.  I come down to this beach every day I can to see what unfolds before my eyes.

6 Slightly Offbeat Shots from Julian

Posted on Feb 18, 2013 in Travel

Tu and I headed up for a country visit today to Julian.  Julian is a small town in the mountains that San Diegan’s flock to when it snows or they want Pie.  It’s setup like an old western town and there are only one set of public restrooms in the town.  And they charge you a quarter to use them.  Trust me. They could use more.

Here are 6 slightly offbeat shots are on adventure into an off the beaten path town – Julian.

A Day at the Lake

Posted on Feb 17, 2013 in Family

Spring like day so we decided to head to the lake for a little relaxation and to see nature.  It was a nice day on the small like right in Escondido.

The boat was slow.  So slow that people in paddle boats passed us by as if they were in speed boats.

We would have been better off in row boats I would imagine.  Well it only cost us $30 to rent the very slow boat for one hour.  One hour too long if you asked us.

Geno and his dad share a happy moment as I click a picture of them with my fisheye lens.  180 angle of view on this lens.  It makes people look like they have big noses.

Danny played a trick on Geno and made poor little Geno cry his eyes out.  Well it just for a minute.

A happy family moment on the lake.

Lead the way back home Geno.  It’s time for dinner!

Beautiful Picture of the La Jolla Cross

It was 75 degrees today and beautiful.  Not cloudless but just the perfect types of clouds to take a picture of the cross.

Valentines Day is a day of the heart.  It is a day to say sweet things like I Love You and to give candy to someone special.  Or you can give them a cake or a sweet present too.

Love is a many splendor thing.  It is like a bird singing a sweet melody on a tree on a Spring day.

On Valentines day you can give your gal a smooch and say, Hey Babes, I love you Babes.  And no one can call you less manly for doing it.

love you

You can wear a shirt with a heart on it and prance around like Saint Valentine and shoot soft arrows at people – and they might laugh and join you.

Because Valentines is about the three little words that make the world go-round.
