La Jolla, San Diego, CA

March 3, 2014 by Angela

When was the last time I didn’t blog for an entire week? I’ve planned on posting these photos from a weekend getaway in San Diego last month for a week now, but I took three hundred pictures, so I needed to find the energy to go through all of them. I had never been to La Jolla Cove before, but I’d heard all the hype about it since before I moved to LA, so it was first on the list. We only stayed in San Diego for a day, so pretty much every adventure was sped up and squeezed into a Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. An hour at the beach is never enough, but we made the most of it!

The water at La Jolla is truly unlike so many of the beaches of southern California that we’ve explored over the past year. There are several different ecosystems coinhabiting one small marine reserve, which I think has a lot (everything?) to do with it. From a moody teal to bright turquoise, the tones of the surface shifted with every wave. Even on an overcast day, this place doesn’t lose its paradise-like appeal:

Normally after each of my found: adventures, my camera on overdrive, I go home weed & through the mess of snaps from the day and find a few images I really love. Last night’s editing sesh was NOT like this… each photo reflected the waves or the rocks differently, and there wasn’t much of a need for editing… the Pacific was just like this on that day. I’m really happy I had the chance to spend the perfect weekend visiting a friend, exploring The Jewel, wandering around downtown San Diego with Kevin, and exploring another beach (photos to come) on Sunday. A week after this, our big LA storm hit (what’s a rainy weekend in Seattle is a storm in LA, but the beaches were intense–I will give them that), and I stayed inside with Charity setting up a DIY photo studio and shooting vintage, spent an unfortunate amount of time on the train–which was okay because I met a lot of really nice people–and relaxed at home while the kitties watched the water pool on the street below through our sliding glass door. Monday’s here, and it’s sunny again.
