When photographing many corners and nooks at the Hsi Lai Temple, for the most part everything was beautiful, yet solemn and with a very sacred feel to it. And then I found a side garden with several of these darling childlike stone sculptures, each different, and yet all with a happy and joyful look to them. This was my favorite. This is the last of the series I'm posting from this Buddhist Temple and Monastery. 12/4/20 My website: www.sparhawkphotography.com
This is one view of the wetlands at San Jacinto Wildlife Area where I went birding the other day. This is a managed wetlands, in which many of the ponds are now being filled with water for the winter. Hopefully we will have good rains to continue the process. Not too many of the wintering birds have yet arrived, but it was good to see the ponds again. I was practically the only one out there, so scenes like this were very serene and peaceful. 10/14/20 My website: www.sparhawkphotography.com
When I was at Costco yesterday I stopped by the flower section and saw some beautiful fall bouquets. This is a painterly version of one of them. 10/10/20 My website: www.sparhawkphotography.com
