Finding that one perfect shot to adequately capture a moment in each day is a challenge. It forces us to look at our world through new eyes, to live more fully in the moment, and to appreciate what lies in front of us even when perfection is elusive. Hopefully, I will be up to the task. My work schedule and commute is hectic at best. That is why I've called my gallery, "(Almost) Daily Photos".
June 1, 2008: Headed over to the coast after work. The fog was hanging out at the ocean, so I moved inland a couple of miles and ended up at the Carmel Mission Basilica. The Mission was built in 1771, and is one of the Spanish missions that are scattered throughout California.
I loved the color of these flowers against the stone and adobe building. They almost look as if I added PP Watercolor, but the shot is straight from the camera. Probably due to the fact that the breeze was blowing just enough to add a little blur to the petals. Not to worry, one day soon I will purchase a camera that is so advanced it will allow me to adjust shutter speed. It might even give me more than 4 mega pixels, and have a greater than 6x zoom. Until then, the wind is not my friend!
P.S. Sorry about being a little sarcastic in this caption. Probably a result of my having a peaceful afternoon, at least until I hit that deer on the way home. But, that's another story and another picture! I could have purchased a nice camera for the cost of that deductible....
