Half Moon Bay, CA (Cellphone Photos)

Yesterday, on 5th October 2024, my parents and I went for on a trip to Half Moon Bay, CA, spending most of our time at Francis Beach in Half Moon Bay State Beach. We had a heat wave inland, plus I needed some outdoors time due to claustrophobia. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!

Message from the Photographer: I have been struggling with long COVID since November 2023, and I have been dealing with chronic fatigue and many other health problems. I'm mostly house bound and frequently bedridden these days. Unfortunately, claustrophobia hits hard quite frequently. Yesterday, I had a little bit more energy than usual so I decided to go for a trip to Half Moon Bay, plus it was way too hot inland due to the heat wave. I didn't bring any camera equipment with me (I have too little energy for that), but was able to take a few photos with my phone.

The destination for this trip was Francis Beach in Half Moon Bay State Beach. We weren't the only ones with the idea to go to the beach to escape the heat wave inland. There were so many people and the beach was crowded!

Next, I was hungry, so my parents and I walked over to Taqueria Tres Amigos at the intersection of Kelly Avenue and State Route 1 for dinner. We didn't drive because we didn't want to lose our parking space. The food was delicious, and they had a number of vegetarian options available. It was sunset by the time I finished my meal, and I took a few photos on the side of State Route 1 of the town of Half Moon Bay.

We then walked back to Francis Beach in Half Moon Bay State Beach to see the sunset over the Pacific Ocean.

El Granada, CA (Cellphone Photos)

Today, on 14th September 2024, my parents and I went for a walk in El Granada, CA. The weather was very cloudy. The photos were shot on California Coastal Trail near Surfers' Beach. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!

Message from the Photographer: I have actually not been anywhere for over a month now. I have been struggling with long COVID since November 2023, and I have been dealing with chronic fatigue and many other health problems. I haven't had the energy to go anywhere. Today, I had a little bit more energy than usual so I decided to go for a trip to Half Moon Bay and El Granada. I didn't bring any camera equipment with me (I have too little energy for that), but was able to take a few photos with my phone.

Harbor Seals & Rabbits (Cellphone Photos) - San Mateo County, CA

On 23 June 2023, my mom and I took a trip to Fitzgerald Marine Reserve in Moss Beach, CA and Mavericks Beach in El Granada, CA. I took photos with my cellphone and mirrorless camera. The photos are split into 2 blog posts. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!

These wildlife photos were shot on my cellphone through my binoculars. The photos were shot at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve in Moss Beach, CA and the parking lot for Mavericks Beach in El Granada, CA.

Binoculars Used: Bushnell Engage X 10x42mm Binoculars (Product Link - Affiliate Link)

Message from the Photographer: You probably don't know how much I needed this trip. I have been sick for 6 weeks now, and I have been stuck at home. I suspect the "cold" I had the first 4 to 5 weeks was most likely a COVID-19 infection. You can read about my last update here when I took a short hiking trip in Sycamore Valley Regional Open Space Preserve in Danville, CA. I haven't really been out of the house much since May (except to buy food and groceries), and my exercise time outdoors is quite limited. Luckily I'm vaccinated, so the symptoms were relatively mild, but I still had a few fevers, headaches, and severe fatigue for a month. I have also been dealing with a moderate breakout of what seems to be eczema. It's causing mild rashes all over my body, with 2 problem areas that is really severe. I never had it this bad before. I have been feeling horrible and claustrophobic, but I seem to be getting better now. My energy level hasn't completely recovered yet. Really happy to have headed out to the coast for a day trip. I seem to have gotten all the claustrophobia out of my system for now.

Half Moon Bay, CA

On July 27th, 2019, I took a trip to Half Moon Bay, CA. I hope you enjoy viewing the photos.

Message From The Photographer: If you've been following me on social media, you'd know I've been dealing with vision impairment and gradual vision loss since August 2018. The conditions are neurological, so my vision isn't impaired the same amount on a daily basis, but overall it seems to be going down hill. It has slowed down and made taking photos, processing photos, using computers, etc... very challenging and somewhat depressing. Some days it is impossible for me to take photos or process them. I know these photos are from a very long time ago, but I'm only just starting to get around in processing them as I'm only able to work on them at a very slow pace. I hope you can understand, and I hope you enjoy viewing the photos.
