I shot this a few weeks ago, but just got around to processing it yesterday : ) Wild Thing ©2018 Derek Dean

I really liked these.  Well done!

A nice set that does a good job of conveying many of the architectural features of this interesting place.

I really liked the parts where's he's doing the selfie shooting on a skateboard. All-in-all, very entertaining. He seems like a good dude with an interesting style of presentation.

Nice set.

Just a couple of shots this week.  First shot was some flowers I saw during an afternoon walk. Second shot was while taking folks out to tour a vineyard near Greenfield, Ca.   Comments and ...

I had the Stevenson House Garden all to myself this afternoon, so I took my time, enjoyed the lovely warm day, and took a few photos.  Comments and suggestions always welcome : ) Easter Parade ...

This shot has a lovely, soft feel.  Very nice.

Lovely shot, and probably the cooolest "sculpture" around.

I enjoyed this set.  Seems to me that your photographs do a fine job of accompanying your story, which was also quite interesting.

I always enjoy your extreme symmetrical shots, especially when a large part of the composition requires such good timing.  Very nice.

Thanks to everybody for the kind comments.  This was growing next to the recreation trail by the Monterey wharf.  I'll try to find out it's name when I get back from work.
