I love this portrait of my wife, taken at sunset near the Balboa Pier in Newport Beach a couple of days ago.

Toronto Contrasts
I was briefly in Toronto a few weeks ago and had an hour or two to roam around exploring. As with many cities, it was difficult to just jump in and out of the car while I was downtown, but as I edged away from the city center, I had a little more flexibility. I thought this was an interesting image – the contrast between the fancy downtown skyscrapers and the tatty transitional neighborhoods.

Crystal Cove – Newport Beach, CA
In the thick of a host of thin things yesterday afternoon, I decided it was time to clear the cobwebs. Crystal Cove is a peaceful stretch of beach situated between the much busier Newport and Laguna Beaches. Kelp beds, tidal pools, sea lions porpoising in the wake of fishing boats, and lots of birds. A two hour stroll on the sand, cobwebs gone.
Here is a seagull, standing watch over the sunset.

And from the top of the bluff, Catalina Island under a setting sun.

Bare Trees – Utah Lake
After many years of living in perpetually sunny climates, I enjoy occasionally seeing some cloud cover and a hint of winter. I loved the starkness of these trees and the ominous sky in the background.

Marina – Utah Lake – Fall
I was just in Utah visiting my wife’s family for Thanksgiving and was able to make a couple of exploratory excursions while we were there. This is a small marina not far from where we were staying.

Laguna Beach – November 21
I love the ethereal, other-worldliness of this image. It’s a photograph of a couple of fairly ordinary rocks, but the long exposure turns the rocks into mysterious islands shrouded in mist.

Newport Beach – Dawn
Another early morning expedition down to the pier at Newport Beach. Saturday mornings are much busier than weekdays, but I arrived early enough to set up my camera and capture several images before the throngs of tourists and fishermen arrived.
Here is the pier, just before sunrise.
