Palm Trees and Blue Sky in San Diego

Palm Trees and Blue Sky in San Diego Originally uploaded by randubnick

Here north of Boston, we have had sleet and rain, but just last week I was in San Diego, visiting with friends from Brazil! This is a photo that I took with my phonecam on my first morning there. I loved the palm trees against the blue sky! Tonight I cropped the image to get the composition I wanted, and played with the contrast to make sure that the pattern on the tree trunks is easy to see. Three days is a short time to spend with such good friends! But I learned a long time ago that it doesn't matter how long the trip is; what matters is the length of time that you keep the trip (and the friends) in your heart.
