Sea Gull, Daisies and Sea Lions

Twitter
I haven't had done this in ages. That is, sharing pictures that I took for the day. I am always way too behind in sharing photos. In fact, I still have a lot of nature trails and hiking adventures that I have not shared here from our nature trip vacations through the years. Oftentimes, I could share only a trail or two or three after we get back from vacation, and then, as I slowly integrate recent activities from home sweet San Diego, they eventually got left off. Hopefully I could share some of those trails, one at a time soon.

However, for today, I am inspired to write about the most recent. Instead of looking back at what I had forgotten to share that oftentimes end up as my stumbling block to write because I get confused which one to share first. So, without confusion at all as to which one to write about, I decided to stick with the day's activity after work. It just is very relaxing when after a day's work, you get to breathe in and breathe out in the therapeutic environment of ocean breeze and scenery. Here are three pictures I took today from La Jolla Cove.

1) It's time to take a look at the sea gull.
Sea Gull In Flight ( camera settings: f/3.5, 1/1600 seconds )
I could not remember when was the last time I took a picture of the sea gull. Maybe, because they are the most common bird in San Diego that I often skip taking them a picture.

2) White Daisies and Sea Lions

camera settings: f/8, 1/80 seconds

3) Low Shutter Shot of La Jolla Cove
camera settings: f/22, 4 seconds

Definitely, relaxing in nature is not only reserved on weekends. Now that the days are becoming a little bit longer, we have enough light to enjoy nature after work. I can't wait actually for spring, though, I am not sure if we would see the carpeting wildflowers that I had been enjoying for years here because this year so far had been the driest. Though we have lots of morning fogs, but we just didn't get any measurable rain. :(

  5. What a cool picture of the seagull Sis :-) It is breath taking to look. I love wild daisies and am looking forward to see them this summer in our backyard :-) The mist of the Cove is just amazing :-)

  7. I miss San Diego. I wish we can visit again soon and if we do, it has to be longer and we'd take time to visit those parks you've featured here.
