Cacti Are in Bloom

{50mm; 1/1000s; f/3.2; ISO100; 07/25/09: The cacti have really been in bloom lately. I caught this little guy at Jeff's place. These flowers even bloom in COLD ASS San Francisco!}

Old Mirror

{50mm; 1/1600s; f/2.5; ISO100; 07/26/09: Taken outside of Cameron's Pub in Half Moon Bay. I really like this place on the 1, but I got stung in the face by a wasp last time I was there and the waitress didn't do anything about it...}

Boofala Salad

{50mm; 1/80s; f/1.4; ISO200; 07/07/09: During the summer, when the heirlooms are ripe, Liz likes to make her Boofala Salad (how it sounds). This consists of fresh (in water) mozzarella cheese, a basil leaf, and a small slice of heirloom tomato, all drizzled with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and some fresh ground pepper. So refreshing!}

Kite Surfer

{50mm; 1/500s; f/13.0; ISO100; 07/26/09: Taken at Wadell Creek Beach at the entrance to Big Basin this weekend during a drive up Hwy 1. There were probably 20 kite surfers hitting the waves, and this guy kept zooming in and then doing some nice aerial moves in front of us.}

Little Ring Bearer

{50mm; 1/60s; f/2.2; ISO100; 05/23/09: Taken at Jenny and Jason's wedding. This little guy was just too cute.}

Branch in Crook

{50mm; 1/3200s; f/1.4; ISO200; 07/05/09: One tree falls onto another two in Desolation Wilderness.}

Flying Kite Surfer

{50mm; 1/500s; f/13.0; ISO100; 07/26/09: Was in Santa Cruz this weekend and grabbed some shots of the kite surfers on the coast while driving home.}
