El Granada King Tide Event (Part 2)

On the 15th December 2024, my parents and I went to the King Tide event in El Granada, CA near Half Moon Bay, CA. We viewed the event from Maverick's Beach in El Granada, CA. I was able to take many photos of sunset, dusk, the extreme low tide, and the tide pools. I took photos with my Olympus mirrorless camera, and the photos are split into 2 posts. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!

Cowell-Purisima Trail - San Mateo County, CA (Cellphone Photos)

Today, on the 9th February 2025, my parents and I went for on a walk on Cowell-Purisima Trail in San Mateo County, CA (south of Half Moon Bay, CA). The Cowell-Purisima Trail is part of the California Coastal Trail. I saw people post photos of wild mustard flowers blooming and I wanted to see for myself. I took a few photos on the walk using my cellphone. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!

Message from the Photographer: I am still dealing with long COVID. I have finished processing and sorting the photos from November and December. Once my brain works a bit better, I will start writing the blog posts and posting them. Despite having more energy after being given low dose Naltrexone (experimental use) at the Stanford Long COVID Clinic, it has not touched my brain fog and other symptoms (some symptoms seem to be worse since I am now more active). Work on everything has been slow. The best way I can describe it is my brain works about as well as an Alzheimer's patient, despite me being quite young.

The photo was shot on Cowell-Purisima Trail (part of California Coastal Trail) in San Mateo County, CA.
