A colorful walk in Chula Vista fulfilled one of my main goals for Plum Bird Corner, which is to fill it with colorful photos. We’ve just arrived home from an enjoyable stay at the Chula Vista RV Resort. On one of my walks in search of colorful subjects I spotted the above Chevy truck from Texas. It certainly is colorful. I spoke to the owners who were from Dallas, and they were flattered when I asked permission to photograph their pride and joy.Pink-Roses on white picket fence
Later on the same walk I spotted these gorgeous roses. They became subject number two. They were so beautiful, especially next to the white picket fence.Sea-Scape,San Diego Bay
Subject number three, was San Diego Bay. It’s not bright in color, but the clear water sparkled from the sun and sand. The RV park is next to the bay and I love being able to walk so close to the water. We really had a good trip, but it is always nice to be home.

A Nighttime Photography Field Trip

Anaheim-Sation
During a nighttime photography field trip, I took this photo at the Anaheim Regional Transportation Center in Anaheim, California. It was one of the stops on a night time photography field trip I took with my photo class. The station was amazing to see, especially at night.

Here is the building from the outside. It really is worth a visit, even if you aren’t planning to ride the metrolink train.
Light-on-Table
The original reason for our field trip to Anaheim, was nighttime photography practice during the Disneyland fireworks, but unfortunately the fireworks were canceled because of wind. I took the above photo in Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. It really is a spectacular hotel.   A few of us went in to have a look around.

Another beautiful lamp inside the hotel. You can tell, that I love lamps. Although we did not see the fireworks, I had no problem finding interesting things to photograph. I didn’t get home until 11:30 P.M., but it was well worth the late night excursion.
