Wow….  Went to wedding yesterday…….  In the way it’s hard to explain with a family wedding even though over the last few years haven’t had too much time to spend these parts of the families…   Most of the people at the wedding I did not  know…..  but they were quick to make me feel comfortable……  and of course I took a few photos….  No surprise there… Here is one of the bride and groom…..  The wedding was in a backyard with only close friends and family…..  Was really a nice wedding……. really a nice day……. Having a life partner is so important…….

“Really”

A few months ago, I was up in Portland was outside watching the dark clouds come in and I just liked the way this looked, so very dark….  Just my kind of photo….

Well it seems that that dreaded sickness has caught up with me…..  But as always Im lucky a lot of hot water cough drops into staying warm gets me through it in a day are two…..  This photo was taken a week or two ago…..  not the best shot….  Of the bridge that there are so many photos of……  So I’ve added mine….. it’s late afternoon the sun is going down the last light of day is striking the Golden Gate Bridge…… it is a timed exposure so that we get the movement of the water and clouds…..  And of course it has to be black and white…….

Had a little time to play with Dakota….. she is so much fun….

Well from time to time it’s fun just to go out and be entertained…….  For me this doesn’t happen too often….  Normally I am always working, taking photos….  Last night was just a night of fun…  Went down to little restaurant in Santa Cruz enjoyed the playing of the incredible guitar player I mean this guy makes it sing…… Jon Mulvey…..  Anyway had a great time and got this one click of Jon playing…..  Not the best shot but it does show the mood…and the mood was good….. Thanks Jon….

Well it’s been a few days…  But when I woke up yesterday morning it was cloudy, it was dark, and very cold.  But I thought was a perfect day to go out and shoot….So with a few friends we were off…..  Ended up at Rodeo Cove…..  As the fog came in the beach became kind of another world….  And the fact that it was very cold not many people on the beach…  Which was nice….  As I wandered down the beach and found this formation of rocks…..  And as I stood there it made me think what was it like when the first European explorers set foot on the beach like this one….  They must have truly believe they were in another world….
