I have not taken to this blogging trend as quickly as I thought I would. I normally love to write and express myself, but somehow, doing so on the internet gives it an entirely different feel. Nevertheless, I do enjoy sharing some of my pastimes and passions, one of which is my growing interest and love of photography. I don’t imagine I’ll ever become as proficient at it as I’d like, but the mere pursuit is gratifying enough. The area in which we live presents numerous opportunities to test my skills, and I never tire of capturing the flora of southern California. Matter of fact, I have determined that I will try and have my camera with me as often as possible so I don’t miss the changes in color and light that West Los Angeles dishes up, day in and day out.
Today, as has been the case for the last month or so, the sun has shone brightly until about 4 p.m. Late afternoon has been bringing with it an ocean fog that one can see creep in like a mist right out of a 1950s thriller. As Peter and I set out for a walk, I tried to capture it. The blue sky was disappearing quickly, as you can see, and changing the available light.
I love capturing some of the unusual color patterns and designs of the flowers and cactus. One house by which we walked was landscaped with immense agave plants. I thought them too big for the yard – the proportions were off and just looking at them gave me the shivers. But in the end, nature is wonderous and beautiful and I shall continue to enjoy it visually and photographically. Visit often to see my discoveries.
