Whale watching at Point Vicente

Every year at this time, California gray whales migrate down the coast of California to Baja and their breeding grounds. The other day I read that there were a record number of sightings, so Tanya and I took a drive up to the Point Vicente Interpretive Center in Rancho Palos Verdes to see if we could photograph some as they swam by. I managed to get a couple of shots, but as the sun was setting the glare on the water made it a little difficult to spot them and get the shot before they went under water again.

It was a nice sunset though, so even if I did not get the precise shot I was hoping for, it was a pretty sunset and that made for some nice photo opportunities. Read more…

Photos from Pt Reyes National Seashore

Here are some photos from the Point Reyes National Seashore and Tule Elk Reserve. I can not explain why it has taken me until now to venture out onto Tomales Point. I must have driven past it a dozen times. With the guidance of my uncle that lives just south of there, we visited Hearts Desire Beach as well as Tomales Bay State Park. We found lots of water fowl and other birds, as well as a herd of elk. Unfortunately, we had to get to San Francisco so we had to cut the day short around 4:00 or 5:00. We will be back though. There is a lot more to see. Maybe more sunlight too.

Ride To Neptune’s Net

Photos From the Break-In Ride to Neptune’s Net

Cruising the PCH

As mentioned earlier, I got a new bike. Since I plan on taking a ride to Sturgis, SD in August, I need to get some miles on the engine so it will be properly broken in. Well, that is my excuse anyway. Yesterday I decided to cruise up the Pacific Coast Highway to Neptune’s Net. It is a popular biker hangout on Sundays, directly across the street from the ocean at the Los Angeles and Ventura county’s line. It was a great ride and I have a feeling me and the 2010 Limited are going to get along fabulously.
