Too late to run

Taken from my view at work . These next few months I hope for more shows like this.

I found a place to play Hide 'n Seek with the froggies today.

Thank you to RedStar, who is always sweet about sharing her locations!

I went to the lily farm today. The early lilies were mostly ruined by all the rain we've had, but I found some dandelions. The combination was perfection!

Remove the houses, oil derricks and pipes and you go back 300 years. You can easily envision the people hunting and foraging the banks and mesas of this estuary. If you would like to visit, this place is at the Harriet Weider Regional Park in Huntington Beach, California. Bring your mountain bike. Parking is free, even by the side of the road. laist.com/news/oc-returns-land-to-indigenous-communities?...

I went downtown intending to shoot at the City Hall observation deck. Unfortunately when I got there I found out that the tower was closed, perhaps related to the rains we've been having this week. So I went with the easy backup plan, shooting light trails over the 110 freeway.

The Universal City Overlook is only about a 10 minute drive into the hills from where I now live in Studio City. The Universal Studios theme park is in the right/center of the photo. The Harry Potter world opens soon, which I'm looking forward to.

The area around the Bonaventure Hotel is fantastic. The pedestrian overpasses and elevated courtyards provide all sorts of vantage points for photographing the downtown.

I love these trees with the amazing pink leaves. I took dozens of shots of the leaves.

I've been checking out these apps that attempt to predict the quality of sunrises and sunsets. One is online at SunsetWX the other is Skyfire, an addon to the Photographer's Ephemeris app.

During the last week both apps were saying Friday had a good but not great chance for a high quality sunrise in Los Angeles. So I put my faith in the fancy new technology, got up early and made my way to Griffith Park. I say the predictions got is right this time.

I didn't have much time to play in the closeup details of the aspen, but I did get lost in there a couple times...

This is much sweeter if you hit the "L" key.

I stopped in at the zoo yesterday. This time I had the most fun watching these ducks playing & diving. I didn't get a perfect shot, but this was my favorite one. It was quite challenging, as there were so many things to watch out for: the kids in front of you, the ducks splashing on the glass, people around you's reflections on the glass, the light out there, the light in where I was, some ugly stuff in the background, and of course the constantly moving ducks!

Kinky portrait at Detour in downtown Los Angeles for LAist interview.

After shooting the Bonaventure I made the short walk to the 4th street overpass to grab this shot. The light trails are a bit jagged as the traffic on the 110 was particularly heavy and slow moving.

So I'm a bit late to this whole Instagram thing. All this new internet stuff is scary and confusing. Yeah, it's embarrassing. Anyway you can follow me at @clarsonx.

I found this spot on Instagram from the feeds of a couple of great LA photographers @thekevingreen and @philsutphin. Had to check it out myself.

This is up in the Glendale hills overlooking downtown Glendale with downtown LA in the background haze.

I got lucky taking this shot with my tripod, because later came a Sheriff deputy asking me to stop taking pictures with the tripod. Tripods are not allowed within this premise, only hand held photography.
