I was bored this evening, and decided to go for a drive down to the PCH a little before sunset, figuring I would try to get some long ocean exposures. I think one usually tries to do these things when the moon is full, as opposed to tonight when it is barely a sliver. But I’m not particularly good at planning or patience, and I rarely regret driving to the beach through Decker Canyon, so what the heck. I think they turned out decent, anyway. After the fairly brief twilight window, though, I found myself short on light. They are all 30 second exposures. I broke my remote shutter release cable when we were at the Racetrack, and haven’t replaced it yet.

I include this final shot mostly to point out that, though they are clear as day in the picture, it was quite dark and while I was there I had no idea this couple was up on the rocks.

It is hard to find too much positive to say about the LDS church, but I can say that they have some impressive gardens at Temple Square in Salt Lake City in the Spring.

It seems I’m getting a bit flower crazy lately…

Jumping back a bit tonight to the Antelope Valley/Red Rock Canyon weekend. Before we spent the night out at Red Rock, we spent the afternoon in the Antelope Valley checking out the bright, safety-orange colored hillsides of the poppy preserve and surrounding areas. If you are in Southern California, and you haven’t seen these…well, my guess is you’ve pretty much missed it for this year. But next April you should definitely check it out. It is pretty neat.
