Carlsbad Flower, Drops (Photo of the Day)

My contribution to the Postaday Weekly Challenge: Vivid. I originally posted this on my blog on April 13th, but then I got an email today that the photo had won an “award” from Viewbug. Call me cynical, but I’m sure the “award” was more or less arbitrary and just a way to get me to come back to the site. And I will, once I overcome laziness. Nevertheless, I do like this one, and feel I was able to capture what I intended. I’ve always had a thing for water drops.

Sweeping the Waves (Photo of the Day)

My submission for the Daily Post Photo Challenge theme: Motion. Captured this while walking on the beach one soft morning in Carlsbad, California (just outside San Diego). It was fascinating to watch these birds skim along the edge of the breaking surf as they looked for their breakfast. If I’d had my act together, I would have used a longer zoom and swept along with them; as it is I’m still pleased with the way this came out.
