Serendipity

Serendipity

Out on a hike, I was putzing around with the video element of my camera, which I have never mastered as video doesn’t interest me.  Somewhere in the midst of all of the putzing, I took this picture.  The camera was pointed down, toward my feet, and here was the shadow on the dirt road upon which I wandered and putzed.  I rather like the graphic quality here, as well as the textural.

Tip of Anacapa

This is the furthest tip of Anacapa Island, one rock beyond Arch Rock.  It marks a boundary between the Santa Barbara Channel and the great blue Pacific!  To me, it is amazing to think that the next continent is Asia, thousands and thousands of miles away across the sea.  I don’t think I would want to have to sail there from here, much less swim.
