I made a new friend today...

Yes i did, after a late night and an early morning drive to carlsbad to get my oil changed i was exhausted especially after not getting much sleep. So home i went with the intent to take a nice nap, well try as i may i could not get to sleep.......it eluded me yet again!! Frustrated and still tired i decided that i might as well get up and go shooting, i looked outside......grey.....i looked at the clock 2pm which is really 1 pm because of the STUPID time change ( have i mentioned how much i hate the time change ) either way all this equaled to LIGHT SUCKING BADLY. So with everything working againts me i went out anyway because it was better than being indoors and going insane. To the coast i went, check out Carslbad 1st......that was a waste of time and most other places would be the same because yeah you guessed it the light SUCKED!! Still i decided that i would find something to shoot, so further south i went and ended up at Moonlight beach in Encinitas. Not a place i frequent so i decided to do some exploring, theres some sweet looking buildings and some old abandoned buildings that are up on the cliff which by the way are this sweet reddish color that contrast nice with the blue sky. I shot for a bit but was about to leave because the light was just to harsh and i didnt feel like waiting the 50 or so hours that it was going to take to reach sun down. So back to the car i headed and on my way back i saw a group of people looking at something and i found my reason to stay.......












The light was terrible at 1st but as the day drew on it of course got better and made for a very fun afternoon. Makes you want to take one home doesnt it? Yeah theyre all cute with their sad little faces....and then you see them beating the crap out of some meal on the Discovery channel and you realize "hmmmm that could very well be my face if i were to get to close" but he was still cute. He was just a small pup that they think got separated from his mother, eventually he headed back home and went on his marry way. By then i had been there so long that the sun was low enough and giving me something nice to work with. Never having explored moonlight beach i decided to stay and finish out the day. So here you go.....the rest of the afternoon in photos. Enjoy!!
