Reflections

Looking more like a French Impressionism era painting than a photograph, this image, with water rippled by a breeze, was taken at the Botanical Garden reflecting pool in Balboa Park on a bright spring day.

Red Desert Flower

Although San Diego now has much greenery due to massive irrigation projects bringing water from the Colorado River and Northern California, its natural climate is Mediteranean and the flora is mostly desert-like. Here is one example of a small shrub tree with its exquisite red blooms, often seen as decorative plants in public places.

All in a Row

When on a photoshoot, I often look for repeating patterns in nature or those created by man. Here is a series of images that all have something in common. 1) "Ducks in a Row," 2) "Beached Dingys," and 3) "Turtles in the Sun." Can you discern the commonalities? By the way, "Ducks in a Row" and "Beached Dingys" were taken on Coronado Beaches. And, surprisingly, "Turtles in the Sun" was taken while shooting a graduation portrait at San Diego State University.
