I love my new tripod. I was down at the beach, but the fog bank was going to be too thick on the horizon, so I went home. At home, the fog bank, clearly visible in the distance, was much less of a problem for me.

So, here we are a day after Halloween, and a few days after the pumpkin was gutted to become a Jack-O-Lantern. … This is the remains of the three-day-ago gutted pumpkin left out because someone wanted to roast the seeds. Roasting got procrastinated beyond any roasting possibility. … BUT, luckily for me, I got to shoot the mold spores growing. Kinda cool!

Even with the lockdown still in place, you can still have a beautiful evening in San Diego. Just plan ahead and make reservations. Look around and be careful. A Mask is a good thing.

From their website.
"The Brigantine is more than just home to some of San Diego’s finest seafood. It’s a place where locals and visitors alike come to share a lively atmosphere and authentic sense of community. The Morton family opened the first Brigantine on Shelter Island in 1969, with a vision that embraced the beach town lifestyle, a dedication to flavorful food, and a passion for friendly service."
