Paddler's cove, late afternoon

11 February 2012:
We had a weak cold front move through the area earlier today. Lily and I were in Palos Verdes to see an art exhibition at the Malaga Cove Library, and afterwards we drove out to the cliffs to see what we could see. We found a hard bright sun and a windy beach below the cliffs.

Self Portrait

10 February 2012:
Taken for the February advanced photography class. The self portrait is an annual requirement and tradition in this class. Consider this one as a work in progress. It needs to be retaken.

Some of you may recall that the previous owner of this excellent camera composed some very similar scenes. I have to say, this was a fun one.

Gulls

5 February 2012:
We have had large groups of gulls hanging around the beach for the past week or so. They must be migrating through the area. We were walking on the Hermosa Beach strand just before sunset, and a group of kids scared up a big flock that had been sitting on the sand.
