My pal! Funny part of the day, Phil started to say "It's funny we haven't seen any birds over here on the piers." Just then I looked over the railing and there he was! (Brown Pelican)

Regular visitors!

There were a few whispy clouds in the sky, but they really didn't light up the way I'd like them to.

The next 3 images are the same, just playing with some framing and such.

So by the end of this shoot I was soaked up to my knees. Guess I should have brought an extra pair of shoes instead of having to use the hair dryer in the hotel room, ha! Not to mention I lost quite a few sharp images due to strong waves! Not cool when you only have a few minutes of twilight!!!

Painted Ladies-This image was actually the last of the trip. Our super clear skies turned to dreadful stormy clouds, and shockingly it was still hazy!!! Phil and I hid at the bottom of a hill to get out of the cold wind just to capture a few twilight images. This is my favorite, and I especially like the light trails in the foreground. Did I mention that we left the tripod head in the car and didn't realize it until I needed it? Good to have a husband who can run quickly to save the day!!!
