Birthday Trip to San Diego :)


Hi All :)

I hope the world is being kind to you and you are all doing well :)

Last week my Hubby and I spent the week in Sunny San Diego, celebrating our B.Days together, which was wonderful and to have all that time together, amazing. :)

 It was wonderful to see sunshine everyday, spend time outside, walking or swimming everyday or just lying by the pool or sitting casually outside dining and also, visiting with Friends. :)

Of course we came home to rain and more rain but I still have my photos to keep me mentally in the San Diego Sunshine :)

I didn't take many photos this year ( a 1/3 of what I took on our last trip to San Diego) I was really there for some much needed 
R. & R. :)

But, of course, I did take a few photos, Hope you like them :)

(Sorry, for the repeats for those who have seen some of them on FB, already)

ENJOY! :)

1st photo taken on the day we arrived, 2nd on the day we left, I love taking shots of planes landing in San Diego because the airport is so close to town the planes fly low over the buildings coming into land, it is so amazing to experience for me, I am a huge plane fan :)








It has become a tradition of sorts that I get a pedicure in the Hillcrest neighbourhood when I get to San Diego, it is a fun area, lots of great food and we pop into our fav. Greek restaurant too! :)








Oops!!! Surfer Down (he got back up really quickly :)




Palm Trees in the Sunset :)




Awesome surfing waves (alas, not for me but I do wish I had had the opportunity to learn, maybe when I am 80 :)





Beautiful Big Bow on the Hotel Del Coronado as they celebrate 125 years :)




The Chandelier in the foyer of the Hotel Del :)









Lots of people leisurely riding around on bikes :)
Some of them really shouldn't have been; it was quite comical watching people who obviously hadn't ridden a bike recently trying to come to a wobbly stop for a speeding car or pedestrians
(I know I am cruel but it was hilarious :)








There were some beautiful waves in the Sunshine :)









Picnickers on the Beach :)




I never usually get focused dusk shots (that look like picture postcards) as I tend to go for the abstract; I do not use flash and with a 300 mm lens (heavy) and I won't use a tripod either (I want to do my own photography, not do what everyone else does, LOL!!! ) But here is one I am quite proud of, (He! He!)





Sunset and Reflection :)









I LOVE these 2 :)
The Sunset reflecting on the Ocean makes them look like paintings :)




I hope you enjoyed these :)

Let me know what you think :)

Have a lovely Weekend :)

Happy Painting/Creating! :) T.

The Sun is Shining! YAY!


Happy Wednesday Everyone!

I hope the Sun is shining where you are too! Doesn't it make you feel so much more alive?!

It has been a while since I shared some of my recent photos that I have listed (or soon to be :) in my Etsy Photography shop.

So, here are a few. Let me know what you think, I always love to hear.

Some are SOOC, some are just auto contrasted and others have colour added. All have their own individuality, which I love and there is an eclectic mix of shots.

Hope you Enjoy!


As always, click on photos to see large images :)
