Several years ago I went on a field trip to San Juan Capistrano Mission, down the coast a bit. After shooting the mission, I walked across the railroad tracks to Los Rios, an historic district of San Juan Capistrano. This cute area has buildings dating back to 1794, and now has small shops and restaurants. This shot is a filtered version of a window at a garden and gift shop that I saw as I wandered the area. 3/2/20
In contrast to what I have shown of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles so far, many parts of it are very modern and light. This is a view of a small part of the Garden Cafe, a great spot to get off your feet and grab a quick lunch. 2/22/20
It was a cold (for us) day and quite windy all day. I had put off taking a walk, and finally headed out a little before sunset. I noticed the wild and crazy clouds over the mountain, and went back to get my camera. I walked along, seeing the changing clouds with the lengthening day. When I first started out they were all white, and moving quite a bit in the wind. As I continued walking, trying to find some good views without telephone poles and wires, TV antennas (who uses antennas anymore?), houses and trees. As the clouds got pinker and more beautiful I kept shooting as I walked. I ended up getting over 1,000 steps over my goal, and got some nice sky shots as well! This is one of my favorites, looking east toward the mountains, as the sun was setting. 2/11/20 Judith Sparhawk
