Here are some photos of lilac trees in bloom at Dos Picos County Park, Ramona, California. I took these photos in the spring, on a cloudy day, which made for great lighting effects.

This photo below is my favorite. I have never seen grass with such a bright, light shade of green. It seemed so surreal, I knew I had to take a picture of it. I bet that grass turned dry and yellow a few weeks later, but natural green grass is such an uncommon sight in San Diego, this was a treat.

Ramona lilacs have smaller flowers than regular lilac trees and they don’t smell anything (the disappointing part) but they’re still very beautiful.

I took this photo of the forest while walking in Dos Picos County Park, Ramona, California. The light and the sight were just right I knew I had to snap a photo of it. This enchanted forest looks like it popped right out of a fairy tale.

Update: This photo of a full moon is now featured in the month of October in my 2013 photo calendar, for sale on Zazzle.

I took this photo of a full moon on May 5, 2012. On that day, the moon was about 10% than a usual full moon. This phenomenon is called a Perigee Super Moon.

I was glad the sky was mostly cloud free so I could take a few good photos. I’m really happy with the way the photos I took turned out. The moon really is a beautiful place.
