Ruby Tuesday, That's My World Tuesday / Tour of California Cycling Race (7th Stage)
Click on photo to enlarge!
The 7th stage of the Tour of California Cycling Race started in our local area (Claremont, California).
Whoa...do they fly by FAST!
...and this guy isn't even in the race!
...and this guy isn't even in the race!
...nor this guy!
I tried some panning shots with a slow shutter speed for extra effect!
READY, SET, GO!!!
It was an amazing rush to see the start!
They sped by SO quickly!
I wanted to get back to my car and dash to another location where they would pass, but, it is impossible because of the huge crowds lining the streets.
You pick one spot and that is all you get.
It's over in a flash!

These were among the grape vineyards of Livermore, California USA.
This is from another perspective of the top photo.
It was breezy so I tried a slower shutter speed to play with motion blur...1/15 second.

Our day ended with a climb up Hyde Street to find some great places to photograph the cable cars.
This one was going UP the hill!
This cute couple enjoyed the breeze as they came down the hill to the wharf area.

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!

My World Tuesday / Desperate Prayer
Click on photo to enlarge!
This image means more to me today than when I took it 2 days ago. I was walking on the beach (El Matador Beach, Malibu, California USA) and saw this mask on top of a column of rock that stands about 30 or more feet high. The sun was behind the rock creating a brilliant glow around the top. I took several shots hoping to get a good one...left, and didn't give the mask much thought the rest of the day. As I was editing the image, I noticed the formation of praying hands in the rock and realized this was artfully placed to represent the strong emotion surrounding the pain and suffering in Japan. The realization, on my part, moved me to tears.
