Coasting on the coast

This week, we have had foggy mornings and overcast afternoons and maybe some sun in the evening. Our highs have been warm to me, but forty to sixty degrees cooler than our inland neighbors only a forty five minute drive away. With the 4th coming up, I think I am staying right here.

Um this is really cool, but really trippy. I am trying to blog in my iPad because my desktop broke. And when I tried to scroll through my pictures to add from the iPad, the "from my phone" option had this.  I took this picture of my son, with my film camera I about 2002, and later shot a copy of it with my digital camera. I did not, have a video, and it wasn't actually snowing in the original.How did my regular still picture turn into a Harry Potter moving picture?

Playing with my camera a bit

Lately I have been participating in a challenge on the 365 project photo sharing site, to use a lot of black and white and play with exposure and try selective coloring.

So here is a shot of me and the snuggliest dog I've even known

Here is that dog, looking mournfully out at the Barbara Marie, The Crab boat my son spends months at a time on.

Caesar is just too colorful to leave in black and white I think

ongoing construction in the harbor a couple years after the tsunami wiped out all the docks here and sank the crab fleet

HA!  I never get the moon to look like anything but a white light, the secret seems to be taking the picture when the sky is not such a dark contrast.

Me, trying to overexpose a shot and still make it work.  Hmm, dows it erase lines and make me look younger?

Icarus, my double yellowhead got his name when he got too close to Sunshine, the cockatoo, and got a bunch of feathers plucked
