The parasurfers were enjoying the day north of Malibu. Oh for a longer lens to capture the movement, it's next on my list for an addition to the camera equipment. The Pacific Coast highway is a beautiful drive from Point Magu south and north.

A long trip with a quick turn around. The opportunity to see some of the California coast was calling. After finishing work at mid afternoon, I headed toward Malibu from north of Point Magu. It was a beautiful day to drive along the coast.

 Point Magu, California 

 A bright sky and wandering cloud allows the imagination to engage.

The various textures of a recreated sailing ship present many colors, surfaces, angles and shapes.

The Scottish influence at the Highland Games, extends to a variety of expressions.

 I love the angles, shapes and colors of this shot. The ship is the replica of the Elizabeth II on Roanoke Island, NC. 

An air of nobility..this young character actor was carrying off their role very well. The setting was Roanoke Island, NC the last weekend of April.

I'll leave these images to your imagination..some will most likely be easy to determine how they they were made or what they are, exactly. Hope you enjoy.

Who says turtles can't fly? The aquarium on Roanoke Island, N.C. offers some interesting sights and opportunities for photographers.

An evening in St. Tropez, France...

At times, our thoughts are just somewhere else besides where we are...

I like to capture someone that seems totally in the moment of their own mind, their talent or being.

 The spontenaity of youth... 

 Time stands still...and continues. Stonewall Jackson on Richmond's Monument Row, is captured in time. But time around him moves on, as the fall color changes, the leaves drop from the trees and return again. Jackson, however, remains for our imaginations and memory. 

 Listening for the quiet...  Cone Manor, over looks Bass Lake (above), a man made lake built by Moses Cone for his wife, Bertha. The pond for raising fish is in the shape of a heart. Information: http://www.mountaintimes.com/summer/mosescone.php3
