Back again, this time for a friend's wedding. Had some time Friday night for a nice dinner in La Jolla with this view out over the bay.

Sunday brunch at the Crab Catcher restaurant required a little...motivation. This worked. Pretty darned tasty, too.

This batch of photos came from San Diego, where we celebrated Cinco de Mayo in margaritas in old town.

Found this solar representation in the courtyard of a pottery and trinkets shop we always wander through.

Such a colorful string of mini guitars. I'm not convinced this is the best framing I could've found, but it was early in the day and I'm still getting used to the 55-200 lens.

There was a surf comeptition going on as we passed the beach. They had their own photographer. She had a serious telephoto lens.

There's something comforting about the pose and the wave crashing in the background.

Part of a car show in old town for the celebration. The interior was nice on this one, but I really like this name detail on the long red panel.

D and I have been admiring these tin star lamps for a few years now, but haven't figured out a way to transport them back up North. The depth of field and crisp focus of the D40 really makes this photo.

The rhythm section from the stage band. Gotta like his hat. I think they were in the middle of a Santana song.

You see flower sellers in the popular bars in SF, too. But this guy selling roses in a margarita bar in old town presented quite a contrast. to his surroundings.

From that same walk; just felt a little playful.

Still enjoying the possibilities of the new camera. Took a walk in the evening and liked the stillness of this view.
