I usually like to tweak my photo to brighten them up a bit. So...I will say the tweaked version. I think that is Huntington Pier in the distance...don't you just love the ocean?!
Drizzly in Southern California. Could be a new song title! I guess that is something worth documenting. Makes the rest of us feel a little better.
I almost always tweak photos a tad to up the contrast.
These are lovely pictures! I like the collage one made up of many the best. It is overall more stunning and has more images on it to enjoy. I've added your two blogs to my sidebar as blogs that I follow. HappyRetired won't go in because it's Wordpress, but I will follow it. I've also added shortcuts to your blogs on my desktop.
This is a pretty beach scene. It looks rather deserted, just those three surfers and a groupie.
My kids and granddaughter, BP, were at Newport the day before yesterday. BP like the Santa Monica Pier much better since it's winter. [California never has nice warm beaches like Texas and Florida, she's a little spoiled.]
Your pictures? It's 50/50 for me. Bottom one has more detail visable, top has prettier sky and water.
We missed sending Christmas cards. I have a 'Christmas' letter, we are thinking of mailing that after New Year's.
At least to those who sent us cards.
We are talking about an adult class. At least I may take one. I like the social part best. Remember, I taught college for 22 years. That started after I was tired of taking classes after eleven years. :-)

I like all of these versions. Beautiful shots as usual.
Beutiful both ways ...
Have a beautiful & blessed NEW YEAR ... I will be in & out of communication for a couple weeks.

so so pretty!!
I love your composition
Beautiful blues - love them all.
also got a laugh out of the Jib-Jab video above. Wishing you a Happy New Year. :)
Wonderful shots. My wife and I used to walk on the beach about twice a week at HB. We would walk just about to the spot where you took the picture then head back.
Beautiful photos and I love the composition of the mosaic!
Happy New year!

Your cloudy skies look beautiful with the palm trees. I like tweaked 'smartfix' version. Wishing you peace, health and happiness in 2010! :)
Great skies!
Happy New Year!
HRG: What neat skies you have, We are getting a lot of gray.
Beautiful skies! Great photos.
Happy New Years to you and yours.
Lovely skies and great captures as always! May the new year bring you much joy and peace! Happy New Year!

I like how you play around with your photos for different effects
Have a blessed and happy new year.
You have out done yourself with this mosaic it is lovely. We should have some great weather tomorrow stay safe and enjoy.... HNY!
I like the darker blue straight out of the camera.
Happy New Year!
Lovely, varied shots as ever.
Wishing you all you wish yourself in the decade ahead - Happy 2010!
Lovely sky. At this moment, I prefer the straight-from-the-camera shot. the sky has a brooding, almost menacing, wintry quality. But when I come back in another day, I might prefer the tweaked. Wonder if I'm a fence-sitter? Happy New Year to you and yours!
What great photos! How do you make that collage?? I love it! Looks like you have some pretty clouds where you live....nice!!!!
Have a super New Year!
Kim
I love staring at those tall tall trees!
