Damn Good Water (38/365)

Auto-generated description: A bottle of sparkling mineral water labeled Aqua de Piedra stands on a table next to a glass with a slice of lime.

It may sound weird, but sparkling water (water with gas) varies greatly in taste, hardness, softness, and level of carbonation, so when you find one that stands out, it’s almost exciting! LOL

First time with this one. It’s outstanding. Plus, it looks even better with Bokeh in the background ; )

Long day of driving home, 6+ hours on the road, took exactly two pictures. This is one.

Ocean Beauty (35/365)

Took the opportunity to drive down Highway 1 in California. It has been closed for the past three years and has just reopened. We had coastal advisories due to high surf and sneaker waves, which created good photo opportunities.

Wanted to get away for a few days, so a proper road trip was in order. My wife is a huge dinosaur fan and has always wanted to see the La Brea Tar Pits Museum. Long day of driving, but made it in time to check in and head out for some great Thai food. Museums tomorrow.

Confetti Cathedral (30/365)

A vibrant and intricate mosaic of colorful umbrellas forms a symmetrical, kaleidoscope-like pattern.

Found this chandelier hanging in an entryway and got a shot from above using the stairway. Turned out kind of colorful and fun.

Rocky Hike (29/365)

A lot of sitting the past few days, made time for a short hike to get the blood moving.

TJ's (28/365)

Auto-generated description: A colorful, whimsical mural featuring a blimp with the words Welcome to Trader Joe's is displayed above an array of vibrant flowers.

A very slow day for picture taking. The only shot I took today was going to TJ’s for some survival food as I sat at my desk all day. Only taking one picture sure makes the decision-making easier!

I’ll show you the shot I’d like to post below, but it’s a screenshot and doesn’t count in my little 365Pixels world (at least not yet, LOL)

Damaged But Standing Strong (27/365)

Auto-generated description: A tall saguaro cactus stands in a rocky desert landscape under a clear blue sky.

This cactus made me think about life today. Damaged, split, torn, yet standing tall. Fighting the good fight. A very good friend of mine had a stroke a few days ago. Damaged but staying strong for the recovery and life changes ahead. Don’t waste those precious days; you never know what will happen tomorrow.

Airport at Rest (26/365)

Early arrival at the airport this morning, caught the fleet at rest. In a few hours, it will be controlled chaos as hundreds of flights are launched from these gates.

Long day of cancellations and changes. Ended up on two DH’s back home for the night. Back out bright and early in the morning, time to get people where they need to go.

Pad Thai Love 🥰 (24/365)

Long day today battling the Winter weather, I’m beat.

Made it through MDW unscathed and ontime which still amazes me. The whole day was worth it because of some Pad Thai. I just gotta say, if you are ever in Berkeley, CA. You have to stop at IMM Thai Street Food. It was hands down the best Pad Thai I’ve ever had in my life. Fresh rolls were outstanding and look at that homemade thick peanut sauce. I’ve fallen in love with food.

Note: this is my first food post on 365Pixels, I’m generally not inclined to post food pics, but imm Thai Street Food deserves the shoutout and a rightful place on this blog.

The hard working, kind people at imm’s made my day. I so appreciate you.

Lily (20/365)

A brown horse with a bridle and saddle is standing in a sandy paddock, holding a blue rope in its mouth.

I got to meet Lily today. I don’t know the first thing about horses, but it was a pleasure to meet and spend some time with Lily today. Lily really likes to lick your hands and arms. I was covered in saliva by the end of the meeting. She was getting some saddle training today, no riders, just getting used to the saddle.

Public Market (19/365)

Beautiful day in Seattle: crisp air, blue water, and the smell of freshly roasted coffee wafting from all the coffee shops.

Auto-generated description: A black-and-white cityscape depicts a skyline with illuminated buildings reflecting on a calm body of water at night.

I love it when I get my daily shot early. Got up in San Diego at 03:30, had a cup of coffee on the veranda and saw my shot for the day, just staring at me. I took about 13 shots trying different levels of Night Mode with the iPhone. All shots handheld. I’m always amazed at how well it does. See below for the color shot.
