Alamitos Bay

Yesterday, I went to Alamitos Bay to use my bday gift certificate from ABYC and meet up with Kat for lunch/photowalk. I bought some lovely yarns, had a very nice lunch and took a few pics in the breezy marina.

These buds on this tree grew in random spots on the branches.

The buds emerge into this.

What I like about photography is finding that little detail and trying to capture it in a great way. Sure there are the nice boats in the marina but everyone takes pictures of those. I found myself drawn to the items around the marina, mostly the trees, plants and whatever catches my eye.

I shot down into the yucky water over the railing which looked disgusting in real life but in a photo, it has an interesting look to it with the colors of the rocks and little ripples in the water.

Flowers.
