Day 252 - Relearning the Alphabet: The Letter "D"

"D" for Down Below (catch-up post)

This was taken from far above on the cliffs, looking down at Stinson Beach from HWY 1.  It was spectacular and although we didn't quite see the sun setting, we caught the twilight.  It was a great drive, and every turn in the highway uncovered a breathtaking view.

Day 246 - Relearning the Alphabet: The Letter "E"

"E" for Egret (catching up from the holidays)

These shots were from my trip.  My friend and I had gone to Lake Elizabeth in Fremont in search of pelicans!  I'd never seen pelicans before, and therefore I had been really excited.  I had also seen fantastic images of egrets that my friend had taken on her walks at the Lake.  When I had almost given up hope of seeing an egret (which I had also never seen in real life), I got to see one!   This is a Snowy Egret, if I'm not mistaken.

Day 238 - Relearning the Alphabet: The Letter "Y"

"Y" is for Yellow 

This is another post to catch up on the missed ones.  This was at Lake Elizabeth in Fremont, CA.  The day was overcast and gloomy and I remember being really disappointed with my shots as I had to raise the ISO.  You have often heard me complain about digital noise on my camera, and this would be another perfect occasion to whine about it; but I shall spare you that.

This yellow divider (or whatever it is) is the perch for many a bird that's resident at the Lake.  I know I had a shot of an egret and cormorants sitting on it, but I didn't really have the patience to dig through too many pictures.  Maybe some other time.
