California Here I Come...

"You can't go home again" - Thomas Wolfe

I'm off to California to visit my parents.  It's nice going home again, visit my friends, places I used to hang out.  And Southern California is a landscape photographer's nirvana.

It was overcast and rainy my first day, Saturday, but stormy weather always offers stunning sunsets if it clears.

 

Sunday morning was cloudy and gray.  With visions of fog shrouded sea shots, I headed for the San Clemente Pier, but not my luck.  Instead of fog, I just got overcast gray.  But the sun did peek out a few times.

On Sunday afternoon we went to a production of Neil Simon's Chapter Two at the Laguna Playhouse.  The playhouse often puts on fantastic productions and this was no exception.  It was clever, funny, and well acted and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

The theater, of course, doesn't allow flash photography, but I snuck in a quick shot, sans flash, at the intermission, of the wonderful set.
