Watery Wednesday #76

One of these days I'll be able to do more to my photo blog than my Watery Wednesday additions, but I so love sharing my photos and hope you enjoy them. These and the one on the main Watery Wednesday meme page are from my trip back to Bolas Chica this past weekend. It was beautiful to me, cloudy and all.


This is the beach directly across the street. Normally I don't go over to it but this day I could hear and actually see the waves crashing and it lured me over. It was beautiful.


From this view you can't tell that the storm clouds were behind me slowly edging their way in this direction. And... the one below is watery but I couldn't resist posting this capture.



Happy Watery Wednesday!

Watery Wednesday #75

These are a continuation of my photo on the main Watery Wednesday meme blog. These and the other were taken up at Bonelli Park yesterday just before the sun was about to set. It was so interesting watching the geese. At one point I thought one was trying to drown the other because it was holding it under water. I wish those shots came out clear enough to post. I finally figured out that they were probably mating.


My photos below were taken standing at the same spot as the photo above but looking over to the right.

Watery Wednesday #74

A continuation from the water shot on the meme page. These were taken at Bolsa Chica Wetlands back in May of 2009. As I walked along the path I could see this group of birds circling and circling. As I got close enough I could see that they were diving into the water. There must have been a huge school of fish there because...

they kept circling the water and diving in for as long as I felt like standing there taking photos. I did post some of these before but I don't remember which ones and I'm too lazy to go check. LOL!


Have a great WATERY WEDNESDAY!!

NATURE'S ABSTRACTS

By the way, my SkyWatch post is below this one.

I took these a while back but I think I only posted one of them. Sometimes it's the not so pretty things that when you look at it the right perspective, can actually be quite beautiful. I really like these and I love the colors. Just some nasty moss around the edge of the lake near the fishing pier... but it sure made for some interesting photos.

SkyWatch Friday - Santa Fe Dam/Reservoir, California - August 2009

I haven't done a Skywatch Friday in a while. I've really missed all of those lovely shots of the sky everyone posts. I don't have a whole lot of different pictures to share between July and now. With work and travel time and all, I haven't been out as much as I'd like. I did, however, get these one day as sunset at the Santa Fe Dam/Reservoir. Man, what an absolutely breathtaking sunset that was. I wish it had lasted a little longer.

Bonelli Park - January 2010

Since I've been back to work I haven't been able to get out much to take shots. The time change hasn't helped either since its dark long before I get home. I was able to get a few shots. These are just a few from my most recent trip to the lake near my house at Bonelli Park. Oh, did I mention that I locked my keys in the car. There I stood with my coffee, camera and the keys sitting on the driver seat as I looked through the window. What a day... but got some great shots.

This could suffice for my Watery Wednesday post but it's actually below this one.

Watery Wednesday #73

I thought I'd be able to post a little more before Watery Wednesday rolled around again but that didn't happen. Still, I did get out to Bolsa Chica Wetlands/Ecological Reserve this past weekend. I had such a great time. There weren't quite as many birds as I've seen before but the ones that were there definitely put on a show. This is right up my Watery Wednesday alley so I hope you enjoy them all. This is my Watery Wednesday input (wetlands...get it? LOL!)

The first thing I saw when I got out of the car was this pelican flying around and then diving into the water for fish, then it just chilled in the water with its buddy.
