The view of a landscape in silhouette at sunset is enjoyable. Here a picture of a silhouette of some eucalyptus trees across the canyon from where I live.
Today I took a walk around an area where I live. Here, I can got a chance to take a few photos of these pretty desert flowers. I hope you will enjoy the beautiful nature around you as I did.
Today was San Diego’s Bike-to-Work Day. Biking to work is a regular activity for me, and today added a caveat where there is a pit stop on UCSD campus that I could stop by to get some snacks, a shirt, some prizes, and a light tune-up for my bike. I encourage everyone to spend your time...
La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology locates just right next to UCSD. It interesting to have a building that is surrounded by a landscape that is a bit more barren than other places around La Jolla and San Diego.
The office building where I work is covered with natural wooden panels that has aged with the sun and some rain. The texture and color produce pleasing looks for the eyes.
At the jetty in Mission Bay, there is a number of abandoned/feral cats living in the between the rocks. It is very sad to see that people would abandon their cats here, even though it is illegal to do so. These cats can be detrimental to the surrounding ecological environment since they are predators of...
You might have heard in the news that the population of bees has been decreasing. This is a serious problem for everyone of us. We depend on bees for our fruits, vegetable, nuts, honey, etc. As the population of bees are in a decline, there are a lot of suspects for causes of this problem...

At the end of a rainy day, the sunset in San Diego is beautiful. The texture of the clouds just filled the sky. Instead of producing just a photo, it is a time-lapsed movie of the sunset. I do enjoy the moving clouds in the video.
Have you ever looked at a leaf very closely? Today, I take a gander at macro photography. The photo today is a closeup view of a lettuce leaf under high magnification (not in a sense of microscopic view). We can see the structures of capillary veins on such a leaf.
It is Tuesday. That means UCSD Farmers’ Market again. At lunch time, one BBQ stand would have people lining up to get food. It is very routine. Every Tuesday around 10-1, you would see a long line around the same stall.
I found that taking photos of complementary colors is pleasing to the eyes. Yellow/orange and cyan are a pair of complementary colors. The leaves and flowers of the silver brocade perennial plants form such beautiful mix.
Using light painting, a wall, and multiple exposures, I was able to imprint the texture of a wall onto a long exposure photo of light painting. Once that is done, I added another exposure to the current image to have a mix of fun details. This is all one by the camera, no special manipulation...
