Here are four of my favorite photos from the trip last week to Laguna Beach California. This first one was taken at the Sherman Library & Garden. I spotted this Gulf Fritillary butterfly resting perfectly atop a collection of colorful blooms.
This one was taken along the walkway above the rocky shoreline at Heisler Park in Laguna Beach. Heisler Park is a long park that runs along the shore with spectacular views along the way.
I saw this seagull standing atop a big rock on the beach at Crystal Cove on my first full day in California. I zoomed in with the telephoto lens to capture him. He had is eye on the waves as they crashed to the shore.
This last one isn't what you would call a great photo but I still liked the ray of sunlight beaming down toward me. I know that shooting into the sun is a photographic no-no but sometimes I do it anyway and sometimes I like what I see.
What a beautiful photo's you have made there!
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly photo is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThe sun really works in the last one, the last rule, is when all else fails, ignore all of the other rules.
ReplyDeleteThe is such a different atmosphere in these shots than in your usual desert shots, Sharon. It must have been a nice break for you.
ReplyDeleteMore beautiful photos! The butterfly on the flowers is gorgeous. I like the last one, too. The sun makes the edge of the waves sparkle.
