The Children's Pool at La Jolla has, in the last several years, been taken over by seals. This has caused no small controversy between those who maintain the beach was created and dedicated for children and animal advocates who believe the seals should be given free reign no matter where they perch.

Regardless, the seal's presence on the beach afford us a spectacular opportunity to see these fun little creatures outside the confines of a zoo, and right now the beach is full of playful newborn pups.

Friday Photo Blogging

Way back in 1868 when San Diego was just beginning to gain footing as a major California city, a 1400 acre area of land was set aside for use as a public park by the leaders of the day. The vision for the park was to not only allow indiginous flora to thrive, but to also design walkways, roads, buildings and introduce other exotic plants that would combine to create a harmony both pleasing to the eye and peaceful to the soul. Today the almost 100 year old Spanish spires poking into the clouds still serve beautifully in functionality and form.

In 1910, a contest was held to change the name from City park to its Balboa Park, honoring Spanish explorer Vasco Núñez de Balboa. Today a statue of Balboa appears in the center of the park.

As a kid, my mom would set aside one day in each week of summer vacation in which we would do something special. Most times that day was Wednesday, and every year we would get to Balboa Park at least once, and often several times during a vacation.

We loved walking through the Museum of Natural History because it was there we marvelled at ancient skeletons of powerful Dinosaurs.

Then it would be off to the San Diego Aerospace Museum where we would sour through the clouds with Charles Lindburgh in his Spirit of St. Louis. (Did you know that crazy contraption had no front window? The man literally flew the plane by its instruments and double checked his altitude by looking out a side window.)

The trip was often capped off by a visit to the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center, where learning science became an experience, not an excercise.

Balboa Park is more than just a place. It is a catalyst for imagination, a launching pad for inspiration, a glance back into the past and a gaze forward into the future.

It was a gorgeous day in San Diego county on Saturday. I did not have much time for photography, but I was able to steal an hour to get a few good ones in.

Saturday night found me back on trail in an attempt to learn how to capture a dynamic moon-rise. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a bust. If I let enough light in to get even the slightest detail from the horizon, the moon's brightness made it appear as if it were the sun instead. If I stopped the camera down enough to get a good "man-on-the-moon," the horizon turned completely black. So, there is more to learn there.

Yesterday started out with the May Gray that normally kills photographic opportunities. However, as I was driving to work past Santee Lakes I noticed a thin layer of moisture was visibly rising up from the water.

Gray overcast steals the dynamic shadows of early morning, but it also enhances contrast between the sky and the greens of leaves and bushes, causing them to really standout. It also adds a feeling of peacefulness and tranquility to the images.

Oh yeah, one last thing. If you would like more information about the camera settings used on each photo, just click on the icon and the ISO, f-stop, shutter speed, and other details will be shown.

By Wednesday the previously mentioned May Gray had burned off and the city was again awash in glorious beauty. As providence would have it, I was scheduled to do a wedding rehearsal on Coronado Island and it finished up in the late afternoon -- a perfect time for getting some shots.

One friend in the mid-west recently told me she's jealous of the place I live. With a year-round average temperture of 72 degrees, it is hard to argue against the assertion that San Diego is "America's Finest City". It truly is a remarkable place.
