I’ve worked across the road from Bayfront Park in Menlo Park for nearly 13 years. I run the trails there 3 or 4 days a week and, because it’s a convenient stop during my commute home, have photographed it in all kinds of weather. Looking northeast from the park’s entrance, this was this afternoon’s view of Flood Slough.

The weather was warm and beautiful this past weekend and Mags and I got to spend it hanging out on the patio. I was feeling very lazy so my cameras stayed packed away, but I did have my iPhone handy and squeezed out a few mostly abstract shots.

Most of what we see isn’t fantastic, but it can be imagined so.

While I’m waiting for a kick in the ass to get myself back out shooting, here’s a couple more images from my son’s wedding–this time of my son and his lovely bride.
Lens: Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM. Both shots handheld, 1/15 second at f/3.2, ISO 400.

I took a lot of shots at my son’s wedding last weekend, but because I was there as a parent and not the photographer, I ended up playing and getting a bunch of quirky images.

Decks of cards marked “Lucky in Love” and “Two of a Kind” were the favors at my son’s wedding this past weekend. A friend put his deck to good use–and I couldn’t resist photographing the moment.

My son got married this weekend, but for the blog I went “abstract.”

I spent a little time today doing some Lightroom cataloging of my images. I ran across this one from our 10,000 mile journey back in 2010. We LOVED Quebec City so we spent a lot of time walking the streets–and I took a lot of photos. Blue doors were not uncommon in the old part of the city. I’m not sure why the blue, but they looked cool.

At the last exit on my commute home I get off the highway, head towards town, and there’s a roundabout for a new housing development. Halfway around the roundabout is the turn towards this end of the road scene at the Petaluma river.

Along a stretch of Hwy 101 called the “Novato Narrows” the highway slims down to two lanes in either direction. Heading north along the Narrows drivers pass the Gnoss Field airport, Olompali Park (where the Grateful Dead once had a haunt), the Redwood Sanitary Landfill (aka, the dump), and eventually the Marin/Sonoma County line. About a mile from the county line, on the east side of the highway, is this view.
