The best day of the week

Saturday. Always my favorite day of the week. today was no exception. I started out with a walk on the beach. Overcast, high tide, small surf, and very few people milling about. Yes summer is officially over. Now is the time for locals to come out of hiding and take a stroll on the beach. Southern california has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. After I got back to my car I pulled out my new camera and went over to the Carlsbad Historical Society building and walked a round back to their garden. The last of this years roses are in bloom and they are just beautiful. As the sun peeked out from the clouds, I took some photos. I'm practicing how to use a digital. Not as easy as I had anticipated. I boldly took the setting off of automatic and tried my hand at manually setting aperature. I've got a ways to go till I get it.
