North Beach

Posted on Sep 1, 2012 in photography

Del Mar is another beautiful beach in San Diego.  It’s just north of La Jolla and has some of the best beaches and homes in all of San Diego. I went up to check out some of the local beaches around sunset today and found North Beach which is located just west of the Del Mar racetrack.  The clouds were moving in, creating some dramatic skies but just enough sunlight to create a warm glow against the sandstone cliffs.

The Tractor

I took this shot while wandering around with my camera.  I liked how the barbed wire and tractor made the scene look rustic.

Bill and I were in Catalina again today shooting some beautiful yachts off the island.   One particularly beautiful yacht was Epic Yachts featured in this gallery and below.  It was a beautiful day off the beautiful coast of Catalina.

Island Time

Posted on Aug 30, 2012 in photography

Just got back tonight after two days of shooting Yachts and fishing boats off Catalina Island. This is the time of year when lots of boats and expert fisherman descend on the Island to take part in one of the many catch and release tournaments that take part on the Island in August – October.  One of the world’s largest Marlin ever was caught here and this was home to Zane Gray – one of America’s top fisherman and writers of all time.

Hello Cutie Pie

Posted on Aug 28, 2012 in Family

So she has spent the last 3 months on the beautiful island of Catalina with her mums and pops enjoying her first summer.  Every few weeks she makes a very grand helicopter entrance back to San Diego to say happy hello’s to her friends, family and admirers  Of course I am talking about the young and adorable Isabella with the smiling eyes.  She made a grand entrance to San Diego this weekend which was a smashing success.  Just as quickly as she arrived she was gone – whisked away back to her Island in the sun for her last days of her first summer.

Summer Lovin

Lovin the last days of summer here in San Diego.  Seems like it just started and now it is ending.  No one likes one summer ends.  That’s why we live in San Diego though – because it never has too.

Beautiful Ocean Beach for Sunset

Posted on Aug 26, 2012 in photography

About 5:30 yesterday afternoon I was driving home.  The marine layer was coming in and it didn’t look like there would be anyway to catch a beautiful sunset .  I decided I would go home and just relax. At the last moment I swerved off the freeway and decided to check out the Ocean Beach pier on the slight chance that I could catch some nice photos of the sunsetting there. I had not seen the sunset there ever so I thought I would take a chance. I was surprised that when I arrived it was beautiful.  While the rest of San Diego was socked in with clouds – Ocean Beach seemed to be spared. I guess sometimes you just have to take chances. You never know what you are going to get.  Ocean Beach was beautiful last night at sunset.
