We already knew before how beautiful this part of the US is….. ...but what we saw and smelled today bet everything! It is a gorgeous day, the flowers are blooming and the smell is incredible (too bad we cannot convey that through the pictures). We enjoy our walk around Lake Poway to the fullest. What…...

At about 1000 meter altitude along the Mexican border…. The air is dry and clear and the light is perfect to take pictures today. So, we drive South, pass Otay Lake and head up into the Otay Mountains as we did several weeks ago. It indeed seems to be one of the clearest days in…...

The neighborhood of our hotel…. After a rainy morning we went for a walk from our hotel up Murphy Canyon Road in the afternoon. It was very windy and chilly but blue sky again....

As the sky is covered with a layer of clouds and we assume that it’s better going inland than to the beach…. ... we put on our walking shoes and head towards Miramar Lake. On the 5 miles walk around the lake we collect some nice impressions. The first three pictures are from a business…...

A determined photographer doesn’t give up easily….. In the news last night they reported that the gray whale would still be in the San Diego Bay!
