San Diego Festival of Sails (September 3, 2011) San Diego, California USA
We spent the day in San Diego thoroughly enjoying the Festival of Sails.
This man is preparing the gorgeous red sails for our 3 hour journey on the water.
This is a view from where my husband and I were sitting on the 'American Pride.'
The sails are going up one by one!
We had a great time with a 'cannon battle' against this ship!
Downtown San Diego is in the background.
A smaller sailboat also graces lovely red sails!
Bringing down the sails!
I think it takes very brave people to be WAY up there!

the heavy surf pounded out a 3-5 foot sand berm along the shore.
these times are always something special to witness!

Scenic Sunday, Camera Critters, Watery Wednesday / Kenai Fjords, Seward, Alaska, USA
-Please enlarge for best views-
We took a 9 hour boat tour of the Kenai Fjords while in the Seward area of Alaska.
The scenery was marvelous!
...and, it was COLD!
Amazing rock formations!
It gets colder by the hour...
We're entering the glacier area at this point.
You can see seals in the water and floating on glacial ice!
I took many photos of the glaciers...this is just one close-up.
It was a cloudy day which gave the glaciers extraordinary color!
This little guy stole my heart!

Blue Monday, That's My World Tuesday, Ruby Tuesday, Watery Wednesday / San Francisco, Calfifornia USA
Click on photos to enlarge!
The "Rocket Boat" speeds past Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay.
This boat isn't for me but I sure liked watching it!
Alcatraz is 1.5 miles from the Wharf area of San Francisco.
It has been a light house, a military prison and a penitentiary over the years.
Now, it's a great tourist attraction.
...and, of course a trip to San Francisco is incomplete without a bridge!
I can't believe I didn't get a shot of the Golden Gate!
Sinful, to say the least!
This is the Oakland Bay Bridge as we drove into the city from the east side of the bay.
It was a girls' road trip...such fun!
Thank you, Candi and Sally!
You 2 ROCK!

Watery Wednesday / Salton Sea II
Click on photo to enlarge!
This is a continuation of my images from the Salton Sea, California USA.
My husband and I drove out to the desert to explore this place once again after many years.
The area sits on the San Andras Fault and is just slightly higher than the lowest elevation in the USA, Death Valley carries that distinction.
Water drains into this area and carries with it a high salinity content.
The intensely salty water has changed this area greatly just over the past 40 years.
I used to water ski here when I was a kid and now boating seems to be history, only.
Fish die in great numbers and their carcasses can be found lining the shores of this pretty scene.
Of course, I will post photos of the shoreline soon...
just hold your noses, 'cuz it stinks!
You can find my previous post here.

Click on photos to enlarge!
This is a continuation of my evening at the beach last week.
My previous post and this are from Crescent Bay, Laguna Beach, California USA.
No matter which direction I gazed, I saw the most incredible color and light that I have seen in a long time.
The next day...RAIN!
These are HDR photos with 3 exposures at -2, 0, 2 and then fused with Photomatix software.

Watery Wednesday / Sugar Coated Water Drops
Click on photo to enlarge!
The reflections on these water drops remind me of sugar...maybe I'm just hungry???
I put a red and white polka-dot towel underneath a glass plate lined with waxed paper.

I sprinkled water droplets across the plate trying to not allow them to blend together.
A little side lighting, 60mm macro lens and a long exposure created this "master-piece."
Okay...not a master-piece but, it was fun!
One idea leads to the next...more colorful background next time and a lot more water droplets!

Watery Wednesday / If Heaven Had a Highway...
Click on photo to enlarge!
If heaven had a highway this would be it!
This is the beautiful Hana Highway (highway 360) that leads to Hana, Maui, Hawaii.
The road to Hana is two lanes with lots of one-lane bridges. Tourist literature says there are 600 turns, though I don't know exactly how they classify a turn since the road is NEVER straight.
Waterfalls tumble from the mountains, one after another, along the way.
(you can see the road skirting along the coast in the photo)

...so many places to stop along the way to soak up the beauty...

This is a wonderful beach to spend the day when the water is calm.
Some people ventured down to get a closer look while my husband and I were walking along the bluff above.
Sea arches, caves and lava tubes are fun to explore in this area of southeastern Maui.
Watching the water hit the rocks was very entertaining!
T for Turbulent
