I went back to Pacific Grove on Monday to take more photos. It could not have been a more beautiful day: blue sky, blue water, warm sun, and a cool breeze. I took a lot of photos and deleted most of them. The above photo is pretty, and looks OK on line and at this size, but in fact, the focus is soft. I include it here only because it is a step in my journey. I may have to go back to PG a third time to practice, practice, practice. By the time I get back there again, the ice plant will be well past its full bloom. Next year.
The day was just so beautiful that, even when I was done shooting, I didn't want to leave. I sat in my car for awhile exchanging texts with my niece and soaking in the colors, and then got out to take a photo with my cell phone to send to her. That was so much fun, I grabbed my camera and started taking hand-held, fun photos, trying to capture some of the wildflowers with the ocean in the background. I had to wallow around on the ground to get the views I wanted. That was fun.
