Taken along one of the trails in a local open space, Mount Clef in the distance. You can see how dry it is in SoCal after 5 years of drought. Rain is predicted next week, but I doubt it will show up. Wah.
Little Blue Dots
I’m not really sure what kind of plant this is – maybe a salvia – but it has the most lovely little, blue flowers on it. They sort of got lost in all the bluish-green foliage.
Bag
Another shot from the Trip 35. I take this bag everywhere – to work, to class, to the market, wherever. And it is a pleasantly purple item with room for a laptop, books, papers, clothes, cameras, phones. Here, The Bag rests in the trunk of the car, off on another adventure.
Along the Path from the Beach
Another photo from the day at the Carpinteria Bluffs here in California. Besides the Nikon V3, I brought along the Olympus Trip 35, which is proving to be a fun little camera. Right now, nearly all the flowers are gone except the most hardy, from seasonal and weather changes, and these cheerful yellow flowers add a bright touch to an otherwise beige, beige, beige landscape.
Lonely Road
I bought an Olympus Trip 35 film camera from The Trip Man in England, custom-covered with jolly red leather, and refurbished. This is from the first roll of film – admittedly, with a bit of post-processing – Ektar 100, which I love for outdoors.
Anyway, this gal was on her mountain bike, panting and sweating, on a road in the middle of nowhere. I was in the middle of nowhere, too, but I got there rather more sedately on my two feet. Imagine – two people in nowhere.
