Car-Spotting, Revisited

Another rare species sighting, the brand-new Jaguar XK.

Car-Spotting

Half the fun of going to Southern California, is partaking in "Car-Spotting". Kind of like bird-watching, to give you an idea. I saw several very rare specimens, such as this Ferrari 550 Maranello.

Seagull

This bird was amazing. It sat in this position while I passed it once, and was still there posing for pictures when I came back 30 minutes later.

Me And The Sea

100_0362.JPG

I look very happy here, but in truth, that bubbling mass of water at my feet was actually the beginning of a massive sea swell that took me out, as well as destroyed my cell phone (in my back pocket) forever.

Pacific Waves

Laguna is one of the most beautiful beaches in So Cal, at least in my experience. And it was very nice that day.

Me and Laguna

You can't even imagine how sharp that rock was to my feet. Man, what we do for a simple photo.

Anemone

This is a sea anemone, which we found hidden on a small reef. Very beautiful.

Ocean Joy

Joy loved the ocean, perhaps more than anyone else, if you judge on how soaked she was when we left!

Surf's Up

Me and my family recently took a trip out to L.A. for a ministry conference, and vacation. These are some snapshots by me.

Here is the infamous mouse himself, and the real reason for any trip to L.A.: DISNEYLAND.

Us again. Well, for your own convenience, the people you see (l to r) are Brian, Ian, me, and Luke. Ben is behind the camera (hence the reason you can't see him!).

The striking Mt. Rainier, as seen from Gig Harbor. On a good day, when it is fully visible, people will say that "the mountain is out".

Yes, this kind of panorama is even more breathtaking in person. I could have stayed for hours.
