Day 211 - Parson's Landing

Over seven miles and a few blisters later, we made it to our campsite at Parson's Landing.

Day 185 - Fourth of July

The only way to shoot fireworks well is to use a tripod, but it can be such a hassle in crowds . . . so I rested the camera on my stomach. Better, but not great.

Day 134 - Camera Phone

Not as much detail as my DSLR, but not bad for a phone.

Day 31 - Dockweiler State Beach

In normal daylight, this palm tree is ratty and ragged, but in silhouette, it looks just fine.

Day 30 - Dockweiler State Beach

Cotton candy, no?

Day 29 - Dockweiler State Beach

A fast-moving storm sneaked through L.A. on Sunday, but was mostly cleared out by sunset.

Day 24 - Redondo Beach

No, I wasn't stalking, and thanks for thinking it.

Day 23 - Redondo Beach

I'd like to say it's my remarkable skill as a photographer that I got this gull in perfect mid-flight across the sun, but that's hooey. Luck, plain and simple . . . that's all it is.

Day 22 - Redondo Beach

Better backlight . . .

Day 21 - Redondo Beach

Although this shot looks blown out, I was trying to get good backlight on the backwash of the surf.

Day 166 - Surfing

Not bad surf for such a dreary day.

Day 14 - Sunset

I wasn't chained to my desk today and got out of my meetings early enough to catch the sunset.
