Torrential rains fall this evening across San Diego County. Officials warn of flooding that will rival or exceed last month’s storm surge. When I checked the forecast before bed, last night, showers would start around 3 a.m. and increase throughout the day.
But the low pressure area either slowed or stalled, allowing my wife and I to walk about 4.2 km (2.6 miles) roundtrip to The Hub in Hillcrest for on-sale tuna fish at Ralph’s supermarket. Light drizzle started minutes after we returned to our apartment. Lucky.
On Monroe Ave., in the yard of the house where once lived Huey, a single rose beckoned me. The shorthair joined my “Cat of University Heights” series in December 2018. His family moved away during SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2)/COVID-19 mandates, and the property was sold.
I pulled out Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and shot the Featured Image. Vitals: f/1.7, ISO 12, 1/150 sec, 23mm (film equivalent); 9:39 a.m. PST. Do you like the bokeh? The artificial blur created using Portrait mode is a bit too strong for my liking. Composed as shot with no edits.
