I've been reviewing some of my older bird photographs. This was photographed in San Felipe, Baja California, seven years ago. The colors in the water are reflected colors of buildings along the beachfront.

Brandt's Cormorants

At La Jolla Cove, besides the dozens of cormorant nests surrounding the cove itself, there is a large population of Brandt's Cormorants on the cliffs uphill east of the cove, many with nests there, as well.

A Brandt's Cormorant returns to its roost. It was a foggy morning, and I like the atmosphere created.

California Poppies

It's been a long time since I've posted (or photographed!) flowers. Since today is the first day of spring, here are some California poppies, which I photographed four years ago at Lake Hodges.
