Moments after the sun set beyond the ocean, a last flash of refracted light burst out. It doesn’t look like a green flash in this shot, but if you swipe across, you can see a few seconds earlier, where there is definitely a green ring around the flattened image.

Working near an airport I’m used to seeing planes flying nearby and in the distance. But this afternoon something’s just hovering above downtown LA, way off in the distance.
I figured it was the Good Year Blimp, though I couldn’t tell for sure without the zoom on my camera. (Not that there are any other blimps that frequent the LA skies these days, but you never know.) It’s interesting just how odd it is when something looks vaguely like an airplane from a great distance, but doesn’t move like one. The other day I saw a bird hovering in a headwind. Same sort of “what IS that?” moment before I recognized it.

Wildfire season is year round in California these days.
Is it the shoes?

Tried to catch a good photo of some waves hitting the pier after the Skechers Pier to Pier Friendship Walk. Google stitched together an animation. I’m impressed at the auto stabilization, though I’m sure the distance and the solid pier both help with that.
Reverse sunset. The day was remarkably clear, the Santa Ana winds having swept all the smog out to sea, but at the end of the day you can see the dust coming in from the desert. Tomorrow will still be hot and dry, but it won’t be as clear.
Thought I’d go old school with the filter. #TomPetty
“We’re gonna fly a lot of flags half-mast.” The photo is actually from a few weeks ago, but it seemed appropriate to post it today.
Slippery when wet. (Honestly, it seems kind of redundant.) Summer storms are unheard of in this part of California (outside the mountains, anyway), but after a day of Florida-style humidity to go with the heat, I shouldn’t have been surprised when the sky opened up in the afternoon.
Breaking through.
