What a beautiful spot!

Not quite so well done but our wisteria also on pergola over wooden deck by back door. I had no idea 1st time I experienced the explosion. Another big concentrated one a few yrs later: I donned bike helmet & sat under wisteria 😂 Ted laughing as seeds zinged by or pinged me.

Well done. I particularly like the foreground reflections

I wondered if our photos might have been in roughly same spot.

In fact, I think my photo of sea lions in the waves was also taken about fifty feet to the right on my second photo! 😆

I love your posts here on bsky. Please keep them coming!

When I lived there (~ 250yrs ago 😉) I loved walking along cliffs & beach. I think I knew every rock of "my" beach

But that beach break in LJ can be brutal, especially at Wind 'n Sea, where I lived. So when I wanted to go in the water, I went north to Torrey Pines

SOooo lucky to have been there

Well done, Phil.

Completely understand the conflicting emotions. Thank you for caring for what is good.

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

Upper right is large rock/sandstone protrusion into the water. Sea lions are basking in sun on that rock. Foreground shows bright green sea fig with a few yellow blooms.

Great photos!

I used to live a few blocks from there (when I was a post doc at UCSD)
Visited last 2 summers. Love seeing these guys catch waves & then "boast" about it 😊

My photos not as good as yours but good prompts to recall the day

To sum up: tr__p = rampant corruption

Oh this is very worrisome

I agree

Yes! The song is so beautiful

I'm thinking they are still telling stories about you

I love this one!

Good morning, Wendy!

tr__p calls it a war. Even though he does not have Constitutional powers to declare war.

mike johnson is a small small person.

Black squirrels are beautiful.

This is so disgusting. Like the entire maga cult.

They MUST be removed from power. Evil does not win, but the sooner stopped, the less lives ruined.

In Congressional hearing, Pam Bondi told members of Congress that they should not question Trump about his Epstein ties because the DOW was above 50,000.

It is far below that now. So, will she now agree to answer honest, pertinent questions about Trump's involvement in a child sex trafficking ring?

You are sweet to be wishing for good things for the world even as you are dealing with your own health. So I am wishing good things for the two of you 💙 2/2

The flu vaccinations are very good but there are so many strains of flu. The vaccination can't always hit every one for each year. It's good that you get the vaccination - probably protected you from many other times of getting sick.

Sorry to hear that you've both been sick, but thank goodness you're getting better now. Please tell Anita hello from me and I hope she has good health again soon.

It was news to me when we first moved to this house in 2010. First encountered this explosion effect in February 2011. That day was a sudden temperature shift. It doesn't always do this all at once, but it's done at a couple of other times.
Hilarious!
