Seaport Village, San Diego

Another of many photos I took on my trip to San Diego (it will probably take me weeks to sort through them all!). This photo was taken in Seaport Village, a charming tourist area on the San Diego waterfront with many shops, restaurants, etc for visitors as well as a large park with beautiful flowers such as those shown here.

Pink on Black

I captured this photo of a lovely pink flower in Balboa Park in San Diego earlier this week. I really like the lighting in this photo and the depth of field with the other flower behind it.

I’m not sure what type of flower it is, if anyone recognizes it, please leave a comment and let me know! :)

City waterfront from the pier in San Diego

This weekend my wife and I are taking a short “mini-break” or vacation to San Diego to celebrate both of our birthdays. These photos were taken walking along the waterfront piers on Saturday afternoon. There was a Carnival cruise ship in port this day, and the area was filled with excited cruise-goers heading to the ship. As well, the waterfront is lined with beautiful, but whimsical art sculptures like the squid shown here.

Sand and Surf, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

I’ve admittedly been slow to post photos this week despite having many great photos from my trip down California Highway 1 over the Labour Day weekend. Mostly I’ve been busy with work and other things but honestly it’s also partially due to the fact I took so many photos – it takes a significant amount of time to sort through all the photos, pick out the “best” ones, tweak them and upload them.

Some of my favourite photos from this past weekend were also the most overwhelming to deal with. On the way down the coast, we stopped at a beautiful sandy beach in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. It was a beautiful sunny day and there was quite a bit of surf, making for dramatic and beautiful waves. In fact, after sorting through this collection of photos multiple times and being extremely liberal with deleting “all but the best”, I still had too many photos left to choose only 1 or 2 to post. So, instead I picked a collection of them and uploaded them to view as a set.

Take a look at the entire collection. You can click on either of the photos above to view the set, or I recommend viewing the slideshow to see all the images at fullsize.
