"Low Tide Treasures"

A detail of the Point Loma tide pools at... you guessed it, low tide, revealing beautiful rock layers and colorful rocks, smoothed by aeons of sand and waves.

The water is rendered very smooth from an exposure time of ~80 seconds.

A personal favorite from my collection: alex-kunz.com/portfolio/color-

Happy 😄

Here's "Spring in Blue and Yellow", with Engelmann Oaks and blue-flowering Ceanothus, photographed at Daley Ranch in Escondido, California about a week ago. (before it even was spring, officially!😅)

Oh and, I don't know why the Engelmann Oaks show yellow leaves in spring but they do that every year (normally their leaves are gray-green).

Foggy full moon with Torrey Pine trees in coastal chaparral and blooming White Coast Ceanothus; Del Mar, California; February 2017.

The Torrey Pine (Pinus torreyana) is one of the rarest pine trees on Earth; it only grows in a small coastal stretch of San Diego. A sub-species grows on Santa Rosa Island.

Ik was vandaag nog eens op stap voor mijn Landscape-Handshape project. Meer foto’s op mijn instagram account landhand.art.
Hoogstam fruitbomen zijn wat in onbruik geraakt, maar zijn vaak wel gewoon blijven staan. Zo lang zelfs dat mensen vergeten dat ze zijn aangeplant.
