SkyWatch: Guest Photo

Post image for SkyWatch: Guest Photo

This photo was taken by my brother Steve McClelland, while hiking with his daughter in the hills of Orange County.

I beefed up the contrast a little in PS…and I think the result is a wonderful SkyWatch photo.

Happy Friday everyone.

Here is to a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.

I have a lot planned; painting a backyard gazebo, hosting a Blog Academy class in my home, attending a sad going away party for good friends and spending time by the pool sipping cocktails and judging the boys dives and back flips.

Happy me.

There is the most charming little business in my town. It is called Birds Unlimited (a chain I think but I don’t care) and it occupies an old farm house. You cross the porch and pull back the screened door to purchase bird feeders, bird food and all things bird related. Up stairs in the [...]

Newport Beach Harbor, CA   This boat looked more than a little out of place in the middle of the poshest area of Orange County, surrounded by multimillion dollar yachts, sail boats and homes. But it sat there, bobbing up and down with its peeling paint and rusting  trim waiting for someone to come aboard. [...]

Page 25. A photo I took while standing in the middle of the street in Balboa. While trying to explain to my boys why they had to stay on the curb. And then yelling at them not to fight. And again yelling to stay on the curb. And then? Nearly getting run over by a [...]

Straight out of camera. No Photoshop. No nothing. Amazing huh? Took this while driving (stuck in traffic) on my way up to Hollywood from Orange County. Can anyone explain to me why this kind of sunset happens? It was really an unworldly experience. Oh and of course, this is a proud SkyWatch submission.

Orange County, CA We have a strange, but necessary phenomenon here in Southern California. It is called a “SigAlert”. Essentially it is a traffic break and it occurs when the police need to completely stop the traffic on the freeway to allow for an accident clean up. I grabbed this shot while exiting, in attempt [...]
