California Trip

A couple of weeks ago I went to California with Barbara for a week vacation of exploration. Our trip started in LA, ventured down to San Diego and ended in sunny Palm Springs. I really enjoyed the unfamiliar landscape (being my first time on the west coast) and pleasant beachy weather. When we weren't eating Mexican food (which was all the time), we did a lot of walking-- through desert trails, up cliffs, and over foot bridges. Along the way I made great use out of my camera, carrying it everywhere and photographing everything. I had a fun time playing around with a telephoto lense which my dad had lent me for the trip. I never knew how much I really enjoy taking pictures until now. So, here are a few photos from the week:

Now that I'm home, my mini goal is to keep on photographing. Hopefully some inspiration will come about to nudge me back into the groove of painting....
