Friday Photos

Friday Night Photos La Biblioteca Edition

Happy Friday everyone. I hope everybody is doing well . Post any photos, memes, or music you like.

It's been a week of gray skies and moderate temps. It was supposed to be sunny and warm yesterday. Never did see the sun and there was rain, thunder, lightning, and hail thrown in for good measure. Mother Nature's way of reminding everybody it's still winter, even in sunny San Diego.

Last Saturday when it was sunny I went to the library. The San Diego library has 35 branch locations scattered throughout the county plus the central library located  downtown. The central branch was built in 2013.

Not your average looking library

Friday Night Photos Sea And Shore Bird Edition

Happy Friday everyone. I hope everybody is doing well. Post any photos, memes, or music you like.

The monthly water bill came today. $106. Of that, only $15 is for the amount of water used. The rest is for such things as consumption charge, infrastructure charge, system charge, sewer base rate. I'd love to cut my water bill in half but even if I used no water at all I'd still be paying $91 a month. Oh the joys of living in paradise.

While we're on the subject of water, here are some sea and shore birds from last month's visit to La Jolla Cove.

Up till now I've lived my whole life in Ca. never more than 40 mins from the beach yet I've never tried surfing. It's one of those things I always wanted to try but never got around to it.

These surfers were carving up the waves at a small surf break just south of La Jolla Cove recently.

Friday Night Photos Royal Edition

Happy Friday everyone. I hope everybody is doing well. Post any photos, memes, or music you like.

Nothing much new or exciting going on here. We had a week of sunshine and temps in the upper 60's. There was rain forecast for this weekend but since it's a holiday weekend somebody rescheduled it for Tuesday. That was nice of them.

The Royal Terns are in town spending their time hanging out at La Jolla Cove.

Friday Night Photos Color Free Edition

Happy Friday everyone. I hope everybody is doing well. As always, post any photos, meme's, or music you like.

It's been raining all week in sunny San Diego. Along with the rain we had a tornado warning on Tuesday. The warning advised to head to your basement if a tornado touched down. I had to laugh at that since most homes in San Diego are built on a slab and don't have basements. Thankfully no tornado materialized, so the lack of a basement was not an issue.

Because of all the rain I didn't get out with the camera this week. Instead I occupied my time re-editing some old photos and converting them to B&W and sepia.

Friday Night Photos Not Quite Woodstock Edition

Happy Friday everyone. I hope everybody is doing well. Post any photos, memes, or music you like.

I wasn't sure what photos I was going to post for tonights FNP until I read Sima's OT yesterday morning and decided to keep the music theme going. These are from a small two day music festival I attended about five years ago. The festival is held the last weekend in July every year at Greenhorn Mountain Park near Kernville, Ca. All the musicians and bands are from the Ridgecrest area.

Friday Night Photos More Birds Edition

Happy Friday everyone. I hope everybody is doing well. Post any photos, meme's or music you like.

Unlike most of the rest of the country, San Diego has been warm and dry this week. Temps hit the mid 70s on Tue and yesterday. But the good times don't last forever. There is rain in the forecast for this weekend and early next week. Oh well. At least the price of gas dropped another 15¢ a gal in the last week. Now it only costs you an arm instead of an arm and a leg when you fill up the car.
Stay warm and dry and have a great weekend.

Friday Night Photos Leftovers Edition

Happy Friday everyone. I hope everybody is doing well. Post any photos, meme's or music that trips your trigger.

Temps have been down all week. It's been in the low 30s most mornings and highs in the low 60s. We also had a little bit of rain yesterday morning. The price of gas has held steady for the last few weeks at $4.60 a gal. and groceries are still expensive as hell.

I didn't get out with the camera this week so here are some leftovers from last year and late 2022.

Fun time with Fido
