Ducks on Ice

I don’t know how the little critters do it.  They take a swim in the ices river and then take a nap on the ice.

Water Lillie

In the late afternoon the sun hits the pond and lights up the Lillie.  This is the first I have seen in bloom this year at the Como Park Conservatory but I know it won’t be the last and I will try not to shoot them all.

Puddle Picture

We had a little relief from the mind numbing bone chilling cold.   It rained last weekend.  The rain created some marvelous puddles and most of them had pictures in them.

BMW Oracle Racing 90

You were maybe thinking I was going to post another picture of a valve, maybe I will do that tomorrow.  This tall said could be seen for miles in San Diego. I thought maybe it was a sculpture of something but it turned out to be the sail of the BMW Oracle. The mast is 186 feet high.  Fun to see up close and of course this is one of many photos. The boat isn’t crooked the camera was.

Boats and Buildings

Taken from Embarcedaro Park in San Diego, CA., a week ago today and I wish I was still there.  It was a kind of working vacation except it was so beautiful that I think I did a little more vacation than work.
