I went back to the same marsh I’d visited in early December, after a few more rainstorms. The ponds had spread, covering trails I’d walked along just a few weeks earlier. Ducks and geese had arrived in force.

I could also swear I heard a frog, but I couldn’t see it, and even with the weird southern California seasons, I don’t think it’s the right time for frogs to be out. I should’ve asked at the visitor center.

Last weekend I went for a hike at a local marsh. The lower areas are filling with water again now that we’ve had a few rainstorms.

I made a point of going late in the afternoon to catch some golden hour light, which didn’t work out quite as well as I was hoping, but I think this shot came out reasonably interesting.

Not sure, but I think I walked through this pond last time I was here and it was all dry ground.

Ducks feeding in a marsh pond. The last time I was here, the entire marsh had dried out for summer. After a couple of fall rainstorms (which, if they’d come sooner, night have at least cut down on the massive wildfires last month), parts of the marsh have flooded again for winter.

I was halfway there before I realized I hadn’t brought the film camera, but I at least had the Canon, which has a more powerful zoom anyway.

Fiery #sunset. One of those moments when you can’t stop and pull over to take a photo, but you can pause at a red light.

The next day:

I saw photos of this same sunset from at least 3 other people in the LA/OC area that I know or follow – but because we were all in different places relative to the landscape and clouds, and took the photos at different times, they all ended up looking different.

Pink clouds and blue sky, coastal cliffs, trees, buildings, orange clouds…a real mix.

Jim Vibber: Possibly. The pallet underneath looks okay, and the band around the boulder *might* be tight. I wonder if the upper pallet was intentionally smashed to keep the boulder from rolling back and forth during transportation.

Kelson Vibber: Hmm, that could be it.
