A trip this morning to La Jolla proved, in spite of a threat of rain, proved to be a great photo opportunity. Bob and I set up on the cliffs for about 2 hours and enjoyed the birds. 

Monday was another wonderful day at the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary. We arrived around 9:15 am, and we stayed until almost 11:30 am. It rained earlier that morning, but we had beautiful weather as we walked about 3 miles of the trails. We found only 3 pelicans, but there was a good assortment of other birds to photograph. 

Kelly accompanied me on this trip to the wildlife sanctuary. 

Merry Christmas Dad & Mom - we miss you!

Another portrait session in the front yard as we prepare Christmas gifts for family members. 

Enormous surf in Southern California drew large crowds to the the beaches. Here is a shot in Seal Beach of a crowd running from a large wave that blasted by a sand berm. In this crowd is the camera crew for a Los Angeles TV news channel. 

Extremely large waves pounding Seal Beach. 

This morning from my front porch. Upon leaving for work, I had to turn back into the house and grab my camera. 

Another trip to the San Joaquin Wildlife Sancturary in Irvine. It was an overcast day, but there were plenty of pelicans and other fowl to photograph. 

Our Monday evening Bible study group met tonight for our annual Christmas potluck dinner and gift exchange. It was a fun evening! 

Last evening Kelly and I visited East Lake Village in Yorba Linda to witness their wonderful boat parade. Afterwards, some members of our camera club met at the president's home for some refreshments, including his wife's fantastic homebaked cookies!
