52/365 - berries in rain

Another rainy day in California. These berries caught my eye on the way to my car.

la luna, finalmente

It took a few days and quite a bit of experimenting, but I finally got a decent shot. Whew! I know it may not look very exciting, but there is something so peaceful about the surface that I find irresistible.

Sweet Gum

This time I was prepared...batteries, tripod, 300mm lens. The moon was mine. I can't seem to figure out why she eludes me. This shot was completely on a whin, noticed a silhouette of a gum tree against the sky. Had no idea it would be my shot for the day, yet here it is.

Pipes, Cigars, Payday Loans

Saw a fantastic shot of the crescent moon passing through epic clouds that I saw right at sunset. Figured it would be ok to wait a bit and have a little bite to eat. One hour later, went to shoot and viola, dead batteries (two sets). One hour after that, went outside with the newly charged batteries and tripod and...viola, RAIN! Drove around for awhile and saw these neon signs. Looked cool through the rain-speckled windows...
