Most everything is blooming early this year because of the very warm winter we’re having here in the San Francisco Bay Area. The blossoms on the plum trees across the street from my house are well ahead of schedule.

The whole shootin’ match.
Garden fish
Early this afternoon, I spotted this very rare garden fish just outside our bedroom’s sliding glass door. Fortunately, I had my T2i with the Nifty Fifty mounted and ready as there was precious little time to get a good shot before it swam off. Guess I got lucky.
Lens: Canon EF 50 1.8 II (aka, the “Nifty Fifty”). 1/30 second at f/2.8, ISO 100.

On the well worn path
Yesterday I wrote, “Maybe it’s time to look beyond the well worn path for inspiration.” Instead of taking my own advice, I looked right at the path. I do NOT recommend the practice of taking photos while driving, but today I did just that–cautiously and carefully, with my iPhone and the Hipstamatic app.

Fisherman in red
I’ve been uninspired to stop and take photos during my commute for a few months now. I blame it on this winter’s weird weather, but perhaps the discipline of taking commute shots almost daily for the past year and a half has run its course. Maybe it’s time to look beyond the well worn path for inspiration. In the meantime, here’s a shot I took about this time last year during a stop at Fort Baker.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 85mm. 1/250 second at F/11, ISO 200.

View from the north side
Since I haven’t posted in a couple of days, here’s a fairly recent shot from the commute collection. This wide angle view is of San Francisco, the Bay Bridge and Alcatraz from the north side of the Golden Gate.
