Sunset over Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. This is an ecological reserve near my home-it's only a mile or two long and less wide, and surrounded by suburbs. However, two endangered species nest there; the least tern and the Belding's Savannah sparrow. The sky was just crazy with multiple layers of clouds last Sunday - it was supposed to have rained, but all we got were a few sprinkles and some thunder and lightning. While Angus and I were taking these, a professional photographer showed up with a buddy to do the same - he also took a picture of us, handed us his card and offered to send usa copy. Turned he works for the OC Weekly. Geotagged at Flickr.

Photo warning...
Jan. 28th, 2007 10:27 pmJust wanted to let you know, if you are noticing more photos here in the future (and I know a few of you are interested in photography), I joined a community called
mylife_onceaday, in which the challenge is to take at least one photo a day for a year (or more, if you feel like it). I usually always have my camera with me and already take photos at least three or four days a week, so I thought each day wouldn't be so much of a stretch. It's not required that you post them everyday, so I'm posting them there a couple of times a week. I'm debating on posting them here as well; I have been with a few, but given my experience with the ephemeral nature of communities, I'd like to keep all of them here as well in case that one disappears. I don't think it will any time soon, but I like to have everything in the same place. I may backdate them so they're on the date they occured so you don't get overwhelmed by pics - and most will be behind cuts.
What I've posted so far- (the community has tags by day and user, so it's easy to look things up.) I probably don't have time for this but, whatever - it's great looking at other members pics for the day, too.
Another community with facscinating photos and other tidbits -
urban_nature Loving Nature While Living in the City, which
calypso72 turned me onto. Great place!
