Two Pelicans, Sunset. Pacific Coast, California. September 2, 2008. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Two pelicans fly above the Pacific coast at sunset.
I've posted photos from this set before, but since it has been a while I'll share the story again. I had taken by son over to Santa Cruz, where he goes to school, and we decided to drive north up the coast in the early evening and look for photo opportunities. Although this section of the coast is always interesting, on this evening the first few places we stopped just didn't present any obvious photographic opportunities. Finally I decided to just head for a roadside turnout that I had visited before. It is located right at the edge of the steep bluffs above the ocean, and large sea birds often fly right along the edge, apparently catching the updraft from the wind coming in off the ocean. You can see the birds coming for hundreds of yards in either direction, track them as the approach, and if you are lucky they will pass by a mere feet from your position. Making this setting more interesting and/or more challenging on this evening, the sun was setting behind a bit of off-shore fog - and as I panned to follow the birds the exposure went from fairly normal light on either side of my position to the intensely colorful and very bright light coming through the fog when I was aiming directly out to see as in this photo.

Despite their modesty some stay put partly for novelty value, and partly because they feel subservient to the camera. And there are others who raise their chin and dare the camera to make something of them.
Over 120 women in footwear came together last night to hear Joey Wölffer and Jessie Randall discuss perseverance, passion and what it takes to run a successful business. Thanks to Tiem Athletics' Tracy McCleod for moderating and Libby Edelman and Carol Baiocchi for all the support.
Two chairs, on two terraces respectively, look alike. And they seem to share the same destiny -- being forgotten.
