The Magical Colors of Carmel Point
With enough clouds the setting sun at Carmel Point sets off about a half-an-hour light show. You get magic when you add cypress trees, a water basin, a calm ocean to better reflect the bright sun, sand with a purple haze and Point Lobos on the horizon from framing purpose. Took this hand-held shot while…

The Human Bipod
I took this shot of Carmel Point with the sun behind me, casting my long shadow to the edge of a cliff where my head was cut off. Yes, I am a bipod photographer, often unsteady in my focus because I don’t have a tripod. But this shot came out fine. However, with the passing…

A Day of Firsts
Yesterday was one of “firsts” for the New Year. I saw a monarch butterfly flit by before I could grab a camera. I walked by the first California poppy in bloom, complete with an insect on it. And in the sand I saw proof that Big Foot, or maybe it was “Big Hands” hangs out…

Pelican Watching
A pelican watches the crashing surf at Carmel Point on the day I was doused by a wave (yesterday’s post).
