Clear skies up on the Central Coast this weekend. Perfect timing to catch the final stretch of Milky Way season this year.
@_deuelbrian found a spot where the Milky Way lined up perfectly with Morro Rock. ✨

Summer sunsets
That afternoon, @deuelbrian and I fortunately ended up in the exact same spot as @u4rickbro, @surfnsnowboard, @tylerbjordan, and @pja.studio.
Great minds!☀️

When time stands still, these little moments feel infinite.

San Diego wildlife is vast and beautiful, but moments like this are a reminder of how fragile it can be. If you look closer on the first photo, sea lion on the right was spotted with a fishing line wrapped around its neck. Heartbreaking. Protecting our oceans matters. How do we educate and remind everyone to dispose of fishing gear responsibly?

SpaceX Falcon 9 launch tonight, view from Mission Trails

Worm Blood Moon 🌕. Woke up at 3:00am for the Total Lunar Eclipse. Pretty cool. Caught some fun shots of the full moon rising over Crescent Bay neighborhoods yesterday too.
To those asking… all single exposure, no composites 🙂

This subtle view of the SD skyline. Slow-paced, peaceful coastal city, far from the hard urban look.

Moving lights from Sunday evening’s traffic in downtown by the waterfront and San Diego County Administration Center. This historic building is also known as the “Jewel on the Bay,” a gorgeous Spanish Revival-style building with a rich history dating back to 1938.
Looks like rain is in the forecast this week!
Stay dry and drive safe, San Diego!

New Harbor Seal pup was born yesterday 2/12 around 5pm.
We noticed the very pregnant momma separated from the pod, pacing back and forth. Seagulls were lurking around her. Glad we stayed. It was the coolest witnessing it for the first time and seeing organic wildlife symbiosis happening. First photo is a bit graphic, you can still see the placenta… what the birds are really after. Swipe to see the video of the momma doing a great job protecting the baby from those vicious seagulls. According to pup patrols, they named this one Pineapple! 17th this year, several came after and more are still coming I think.
It’s pupping season… go see the babies! 🦭

The desert is full of surprises… and not just with the wildflowers. Over the weekend, we spotted a herd of Bighorn Sheep. It was incredible to see them on the trail with us, unbothered by small crowd of hikers stopping to take pictures, contently admiring them at a distance. Majestic!

February’s Snow Moon - rose above Salton Sea, desert overlook as seen from Fonts Points scenic viewpoint

The desert is blooming 🌼

Yesterday’s. Another one for the camera roll.

Didn’t wake up for the 1st sunrise but definitely stayed for the 1st sunset of 2026! ☀️

Central coast trip two weeks ago to wrap up the year.
1 - Night shot of the iconic Morro Rock, 2 - skies breaking from morning clouds with pleasant ideal high 60s temps (rough winter 😅), 3 - watched for hours this Sea Otter mama chillin with her baby

Holiday coastal scenery and festivities 🎄 Where are the best and your most favorite light displays and shows?

Pano of fireworks display at Hotel Del last week. This place transforms into pure magic every Christmas season! Best time of the year is here!

December’s ‘Cold Moon’, last super moon of 2025, as seen rising above mountains of North San Diego. Mt. Woodson and Iron Mountain, somewhere in there. Can you spot Potato Chip Rock?
Frames 2-3 was after sunset, fully risen, taken from Mt Soledad.

Chasing fall colors, sun flares, and reflections. This was Yosemite beginning of November. Extremely grateful we caught the best possible conditions, the valley was breathtakingly magical. 🍂

Frames 1&2 Saturday sunset was pretty sweet. After overcast days and rain, we finally saw streak of light peaked through blanket of clouds.

Frames 4&5: I got in the frame, 📸: @_deuelbrian

Storm clouds started rolling in at Windandsea last night.
Sounds like we’re getting a lot of rain. Stay safe, San Diego!

El Capitan lit up like Christmas tree. Those light dots are from headlamps of climbers . We spent hours just staring at this wall, watching some of the lights move, some just chilling, wondering what was going on, how was the view from up there. Pictures don’t give justice, it was a sight to see!
These were from 11/1 to 11/3. If you were up on that cliff face those dates, you’re most likely one of those lights!

7ft King Tides this weekend brought by November Supermoon 🌊

Full Beaver Super Moon 11/5

Already missing the quiet early morning walk/hike as sun rises casting the first light in the valley, stepping out to crisp fall air and colors outside the cabin, bike ride looking for reflection shots, anticipating sunsets, soft pink skies of golden hour, watching the moon rise by Half Dome and the impressive view of climbers with their headlamps on the wall of El Capitan, Cathedral rock… etc.
What a weekend!

Hello, October! Fall evenings, seasonal nostalgic shifts, sunsets hit a little bit differently.
