This is a wonderful place to get away and relax. Great snorkeling and diving, with easy access is just an hour away from the mainland.

Last May, I was invited to the Great Park, on the old El Toro Marine Base, by friend, and photographer Doug M. I am legally blind, and can see large, well lit, shapes at night. So much of the time I was feeling my way around in the dark. Something I do fairly well. The evening was a total blast watching a group of really creative people make photographs for a future project. I don’t drive, so when I get the chance to do things like this, it’s a real treat, and breaks the monotony of isolation.   And, I had the chance to make a few snaps in the dark. Thanks to Doug McCulloh and his pals.  See McCulloh’s brilliant photography and writing at http://www.douglasmcculloh.com

I’m always looking for another point of view, particularly on days when I am distracted and troubled by life’s obstacles. This photo is my attempt to capture the explosive energy of the sun in horrible midday sun. Or is it really such bad light? I got down on my stomach pointing up angle with the sun backlighting the flower. Nikon d200, 60mm macro.  I like the result.
