Aquatic Mini-show

This is nothing like a Vegas water fountain show,
however, it is a simple pleasure.

Lilies

These large lily blossoms are beyond gorgeous. The dark rich color petals are seductive and luring, not to mention the fragrance, which is out of control. The stunning scent fills the still air with an aroma that stays with you. I love the Lily.

Me

I am a photographer. I sit and stare at my self-portrait and look deep within myself, deep within these dark brown eyes. It’s like staring into a mirror. I gaze with question. What can I learn from this portrait? What can I learn from me?

Through the Window


Looking through the window with nothing other than darkness catches an eye. There is zilch to see. You can look to the left or right and still dim. Perhaps try at the first light.

Footprints

I walk behind these profound footprints and know that if I walk in these tracks, I will leave no way. They are meaningful to the one who left them behind. I capture the path with this reflection. The scent in the air is nautical. I carry on.

Welcome to Bolsa

This sweet pelican was a ham at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve in Caifornia. I felt as though he was welcoming me. My prize, a wonderful shot to share with you all.

Inside the Vase

Tall, skinny and full of water is this vase.
Inside are two thick green stems,
along with some flower petals.
The water is so clear and inviting.
Welcome she says.

Red Interior

As we walk along the sidewalk and check out all of the classic vehicles...this fire red interior reminds me of my first car. Red carpet, red seats, red visors, red steering wheel, red everything! After a while, I really started to hate the color of red and my first owned vehicle. It only gave me one good year, before it broken down, however, the memories that it gave me are still rich and long term.

Orange Night

Why is the night orange? Why is the waters calm? Why am I so relaxed? It's because the evenings here in California are spectacular. I can walk for hours along our seashore. The sea is warm, as it runs through my toes. The sun-rays are so soft, yet bright.

Resemblance

The resemblance of a bright colored bird is no doubt the Bird of Paradise to me. The radiant orange and blue blossoms are a gem. Such an extraordinary view, which can be found in a simple yard to many exotic places around the world. I enjoy them from a reach. They say that they are good luck and full of joyfulness! I agree!

View

I enjoy taking walks at the arboretum. There are quail, hummingbirds, insects, rabbits, lots of birds, flowers, tress, and many many paths. And on these paths, you get breathtaking views like this.

Patient Souls

I can sit for hours waiting to get a glimpse of one of these elegant birds. I wonder if the egret and I are alike? Both patient souls. He watches me, I watch him.

Get Out


Get out and live life.
Get out and laugh.
Get out and have fun.
Get out and smile.
Get out and enjoy the weather.
Get out and get healthy.
Now ... get out there!
C'mon ...
