Today, I met up with Dee in the town of Pacifica. Our meeting spot? A very
cool nursery called Shelldance. It was great to meet Dee and her husband,
Ed and to spend some time shooting in this pretty cool spot.

I'm in the process of loading a couple of shots of the beautiful (and I do mean
beautiful) orchids. Unfortunately, I didn't do them the justice they deserve.
More in this thread a bit later.

Now on to OP. OP is "Orange Pumpkin" and when you see him, you'll know
why :D

Here he is in all of his glory.

    Somehow, that photo reminds me of Fat Freddy's Cat. If you don't know who FFC is, well...I can't help ya.

    Shelldance is located above Pacifica. The view from Sweeney Ridge is, well,
    awesome.

    If you're ever in Pacifica, this place is well worth a visit. According to the
    guy behind the counter, April/May is a better time to visit flower wise.

    Pretty Cool, Ian
    Great to meet you too and I was so happy to share one of my "secret" spots in Pacifica! Open weekends only 10 - 5, or by appointment. I'm thinking I should ask for an appointment so I could bring my tripod!

    Thanks for this one! I've never climbed the trail, what a neat view!

    I tried to take some of the "hunky" mermen, but either the light was too dim or the camera was shaking! I definitely have to come back for these mermen!
