Southern California is full of amazing opportunities for taking photo walks/hikes. A little over a year ago I joined a group on Facebook called “As seen this day” and it inspired me observe and pay greater attention to everyday life. A gift of a DSLR camera from my Father kicked this interest into turbo drive.
Everyday I’m striving to improve my photography skills and learn more about Southern California. So this my journey on both fronts. Hopefully I can both share a little and learn a lot!

You have nice images from your walking photography–I recall seeing the empty missile sites before…they had to have been your images. Good luck on your photographic endeavors. And thank you for sharing your images.

It’s amazing how our perception of photographs changes over time. Like you, I’ve had the experience of looking at older pics which back then I thought were great and now thinking “this needs some work.” I think we refine our ability to “see” as we go along.
BTW, thank you so much for following Beauty Along the Road.

Thanks for stopping by Pauses & Clicks and following! I also have a similar approach to photography as the group you joined on Facebook. When I got my first iPhone and realized I had a camera with me at all times I decided to start posting an Instagram a day, taken on the day it’s posted. In an amazing way I started seeing my world I move through once again and now I’ve been doing that daily posting for over three years now! About a year ago I started printing them and giving them to people I meet in the course of my day and now the Intagrams have their own FB page!
