daily slice-of-life photo blog of a Gen-X dad
Our trip to Southern California has come to an end. It was so much fun visiting with family and friends, eating yummy food, and making more memories (and escaping the Arctic freeze that hit Texas), but it’s time to go home. Until next time!
This evening, we caught the last bit of twilight from the Manhattan Beach Pier. Camera sensors + post-processing are amazing for creating scenes that are very dark to the human eye.
I took this photo with my iPhone 12 Mini on my way to the mailbox. I like the way it turned out! The quality is so horrible that it looks like a painting. Happy accidents…
“There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes”. That’s a Norwegian phrase that was going through my head as I suffered yesterday on my run. So today, I added another layer on top and put on my baggy tights on the bottom. What a difference it made! I was warm and the run was a lot of fun! I’ve always disliked running in cold weather, but with the right clothes, it can be very pleasant.
I went with Piplup for a ride this afternoon before it got too dark (the sun sets so early these days!). We rode on a bunch of light gravel and Piplup’s tiny 16″ wheels and tires did fine.
In other good news, the Brooks B17 saddle is starting to get more comfortable. It can take a while for the leather to shape itself to your sit-bones, and it seems like it’s finally starting to happen. 😀
We had a nice sky this evening as a storm was passing through. Perfect timing for the dramatic lighting!
Here is a photo of the late evening storm clouds. I love the light.
