Out and About in Morro Bay

.
One morning while at Morro Bay, two wonderful ladies pulled up at our front door and asked if I'd like to join in an excursion to some of the local junk stores.

Of course, I'm never interested in thrift stores, but I was talked in to going along. It must have taken them about twelve seconds to convince me!

The day would be spent with me traveling in the back of a 22 foot Lazy Daze, a different experience, so of course I got out the camera.

My first photos were of my traveling companions . . .

The ones in the back of the rig with me,
not the ladies up front.

Look at Smokey's eyes

And this is Jake.
They were quite hospitable
throughout the day.

A note here on Lazy Daze. They all have tinted windows, a great plus in most situations. I've noticed that some of the older rigs have a decidedly brown tint, while the newer ones tend towards gray. I understand that gray gives a truer color, but I really like the warmth of hue created with the brown windows.

Since this was a 1990s era Lazy Daze, it had the the brown windows. I love the tint it gave to my photos.

Taken out of the back window
while we were moving down the road,
a shot of Morro Rock.

More shots out the moving windows.

Don't these homes
have the most wonderful views?

It was around 3pm
when I took this shot,
but look what the windows did to the shot.

It's kind of like using
one of those neutral density filters.
I keep looking at these filters,
and now I think I'll have to buy a few of them.

Or I could just buy
an older Lazy Daze with brown windows!

As we were driving along,
I noticed lots of windsurfers.

Remember,
I was in a moving vehicle,

shooting through tinted windows,

so these aren't as sharp as they could be.

Still, I liked the feeling of freedom

and the open-ness of the seashore.

Here's one final shot,
right before we turned around
to go back to the campground.
I thought this looked like
an old Kodachrome postcard.

Now we're back to clearing the house and auctions.

Still
