River of Stars
Night at the new pedestrian area at the Anaheim Convention Center, taken during WonderCon this past weekend. This walkway replaces a street that used to run between two hotels, and is anchored by fountains at either end. It turned out to be a perfect place for con-goers to gather socially during the day, and for cosplayers to hold photoshoots.
More photos on Flickr including exhibits, people in costumes, and sightseeing.

Somewhere along highway 6 between Portland and Tillamook, Oregon. Literally less than a minute’s walk from a turnout on the side of the road.
Next time I’ve got to remember: Take a photo with the [edit] phone too just to get the GPS stamp.

Tree Shadows in the Fog
The fog was pouring over the ridge just before sunset, and just minutes after a solar eclipse. I’d gone up into the hills to get above the fog and watch the eclipse and discovered a sort of mini-festival of people who had all had the same idea. More photos & writeup of the eclipse.
Looking Up
An office building and a tree.
Eucalyptus Trail
Last month (this is Southern California, where the countryside turns green in the winter) I went on a short hike through Peters Canyon Park. I’ve got a brief write-up with more photos on K-Squared Ramblings, including a somewhat amusing warning sign about mountain lions.
Roadside Palms
Ah, LA traffic! In theory we were merging onto I-5 (from another part of I-5 — yeah, the freeway interchanges are messy), but in reality, the car wasn’t moving at all. I had plenty of time to roll down the window and actually *aim* to snap this shot.
Palm Tree Alley
The walkway between the Hilton Anaheim and the Anaheim Convention Center. The blocky wall to the right is a large area full of staircases at one end of the convention center.
Taken this past April, during Anaheim Comic Con. The convention center was also host to a much larger coffee convention.

A potted tree sits alone on the pavement at the Great Park in Irvine, former site of MCAS El Toro. Mt. Saddleback is visible in the distance.

Somehow I never notice this when I’m driving past, but it’s hard to miss on foot.
Reach for the Sky

Found in Old Town San Diego, near the corner of the main square. I don’t remember what the base looked like, but I think they’re some sort of yucca.
