Can you guess from the next photo that it rained that morning? Yes, rain in July in San Diego. Quite a sight.

I really like the reflection of the pink water lily into the dark water on this last picture.

Travel theme: Wild

Today I’m participating in Where’s My Backpack’s Travel Theme photo challenge. This week’s theme is “wild”. Remember you can click on each photo for a larger view. If you like what you see, feel free to subscribe and receive nature photography updates a few times a week.

I wasn’t sure what photos to use for this theme but the inspiration came to me yesterday, when I got an unexpected visitor in my backyard. If you’ve ever tried to photograph dragonflies, you know they’re not the best subjects and could care less about your requests to sit still. Dragonflies are the fastest flying insects and that makes it a wild encounter if you manage to snap a few photos of them.

Here’s a beautiful orange dragonfly who was kind enough to rest a few inches away from me so I could take a couple of photos with my zoom. That bright orange is quite a wild color too!

A Word A Week Challenge – Undulate - pine tree bark

Macro Monday: Pine tree bark

Today I’m taking part in the Macro Monday photo challenge. If you like what you see, I encourage you to subscribe so you can enjoy the new photos I post a few times a week.

Have you ever looked at pine tree bark up close? It’s quite an assortment of terrains.

And if you look even closer, the landscape of pine tree bark resembles a topographic map. I love the mix of patterns and colors that make up the pine tree bark.

This beautiful rose bud will open soon and spread out its soft petals.

This purple Ramona lilac in bloom means spring is coming to San Diego.

As for this last one, I’m not sure what to make of it. Is a dog in the clouds the foreshadow of anything good? You tell me!
