San Diego Joy
First day or two in San Diego and I shot, somewhat at random, at tourist sites, and anything else that caught my eye. Not very studied photography.
Bird of Paradise
These appear to be a popular local plant. They’re beautiful. Expect to see lots more of the local flora over the coming weeks which may look quotidian to Westerners but are exotic to me.
Caffeinated American
We’re spending most of January in southern California (south of fire-ravaged LA). Technical note: I used Adobe Camera Raw’s beta reflection remover on this and it did a pretty fair job, except for the white blob on the far right and some vestiges along the top. Expect to see lots more California shots over the coming days and weeks, many of them kind of touristy.
After the MLK Day Parade
After the parade today, we walked down to the Gaslamp District and then back along Martin Luther King Promenade where I took more pictures of tablets on the ground with MLK quotations I thought were particularly apt for the era beginning today.

Martin Luther King Jr Parade – San Diego
Making America Great, according to MLK
If we want to make America great again, we might try to manifest Martin Luther King Jr’s words, engraved here along San Diego’s Martin Luther King Promenade.
Leaves Pechanga
On a business trip to Pechanga, California in late 2003, I saw these incredible leaves and took a few quick shots with the 5MP Dimage A-1. Click any one fo them to see them all enlarged.
