so I thought I would start with the easy, compositionless, couldn't you adjust those level sliders or at least push some buttons (?) weekend snaps from the day off. :rolleyes We ended up in Santa Cruz on Saturday afternoon - the light was perfect: overhead & hazy, waves were small. It seem as though everyone was under surveillance by seagulls (part of homeland security is my guess). :uhoh

A float for the 4th of July parade was undergoing final testing at the proving grounds

A rare sighting of another endangered species. A sub class of the 'not an egret nor blue heron' I believe :dunno.

A happy couple under casual surveillance - are they reading something or rolling a smoke...?! :wink

For those that aren't aware yet Santa Cruz is keeping track of its sealion population - here is an early attempt at bar coding

We made a quick side trip to City Hall - sure enough, a fine architectural example of democracy inaction

Escaping the hustle of the big city, we stopped for emergency rations at the nearest soup kitchen :thumb

    Hehe...
    Congratulations on your first post of photos!

    I know the area somewhat... I live closer to San Francisco :):

    I hope you were out and about today -- neat offshore breeze kicking up some wild veils off the waves...

    I've never seen a sea lion with numbers before... poor critter.

    Neat shots of the boardwalk/amusement area, BTW...

    Anyway, I enjoyed the tour. :):
