Lions Light House for Sight @ Rainbow Harbor, Long Beach, California USA.

This faux light house was built in 2000 as a symbol of the fund raising that has been done by the Lions Club for the visually impaired.

The harbor office is located at the bottom of the tower.

It is a white conical tower during the day but, glows with amazing colors at night.

The sky was a brilliant orange 2 nights ago.

I thought the blue light was absolutely dazzling against this intense sky about 25 minutes after sunset.

SkyWatch Friday and Looking at the Sky on Friday / Newport Back Bay, California, USA

Click on photos to enlarge!
These three photos were taken this past Tuesday evening along the Back Bay of Newport, California.

I wanted to stay long enough to catch the different levels of light during the sunset.

Storm clouds were coming in, but, they didn't produce any rain here.

It rained overnight at my house (an hour away), though.

That dark cloud really hid the light for awhile!

What a great place to walk, jog or ride bikes...but, you have to stay on the path since this is a nature preserve area.

Shadow Shot Sunday / Chase and His Shadow

My grandson is playing with his shadow on one of the displays in a neighborhood where we viewed spectacular Christmas lights last Sunday night.

Shadow Shot Sunday

That's My World Tuesday / Christmas Lights

We have a local community that goes all out with their holiday outdoor lights. Our family and extended family have made it a tradition to spend time together enjoying the long walk through this neighborhood to view the upscale homes and their creativity with lights. It was cold last night and the rain held off until we returned home. (I know you folks from the cold climates will laugh when I say this... California is cold) But...it was cold out last night! We bundled up, drank hot chocolate and had a merry time together. I photographed some of my favorite images along the way. I really liked the house with the "tropical" theme since my husband and I are big Jimmy Buffet fans! I tried to photograph larger scenes, but, without a tripod...it was for nothing. They all were too blurry to post. But, we managed to get a few family shots of our daughter, her husband and their little guy (our grandson). and my husband and myself...I edited our photo to nearly black and white, just because I got that bright idea. My husband is clenching his teeth because he said his nose was cold...go figure?
