Left coast / Right coast is a photo collaboration between Phil in California and Dave in Maryland.

donner lake moss

We took a road trip to Truckee to visit friends and spend some time in the snow.  We did a short walk by Donner Lake where we encountered this tree covered with snow and bright green moss.

This is a still from a video I took of me playing tennis.  I like the colors and that it was a warm day in February.

We're back?

Left coast / right coast is back!  We're going to try to put up a photo a week.

 

I've been trying to work on an old camera this week.  No luck so far, but it's quite an interesting mechanism.  This is a Hasselblad 500c.

left coast right coast: week 5

I had wanted to keep the left coast/right coast series to photos from the past week, but there are too many interesting ones from Seattle. Here’s a shot taken along South Jackson St. in the International District.

We went for a walk at the Patuxent Wildlife Refuge in Laurel.  There were several large flocks of these birds going by.  I call them cowbirds, but don’t actually know what they are.

We visited a friend who lives in Seattle. We had a great time. Here’s a photo from a great little hike that she took us on.

This was taken the morning after “Snowtober” (rare October snow in DC). It was cold and there was this neat frost on the car.

I went to a friend’s birthday party on Saturday in the El Cerrito hills. I got there as the sun was setting and saw this along the way. I was drenched in sweat from the hill climb.

We took our daughter to the Maryland Renaissance festival a few weeks ago and this is her response to the elephants.

introducing: left coast right coast

Welcome to our first left coast right coast post. 

My girlfriend shared a link to the amazing 3191 miles apart blog, and I thought that working on a similar project with a friend on the opposite coast would be a great way to keep in touch share unique and images from our daily lives.

This first photo is of a little baby boo squash on our dining table.

A friend gave me a cutting of this rose in a styrofoam cup. Two years later it’s 6′ tall and beautiful. It’s called
‘Allister Stella Gray’.
