To commemorate the (so far) unceasingly unseasonably warm weather, I present the Featured Image and companion, which communicate something about living in Southern California. Look at the tree, which, unless my eyes are mistaken, presents several different citrus fruits.
Yesterday was the hottest day during this protracted summer-like period here in San Diego. Temperature reached 26 degrees Celsius (80 Fahrenheit). Today marked a slight cooling trend: 25 C (77 F). We can expect about the same air temperature tomorrow.
The location of the tree is remarkable—a green space between two multi-unit buildings (one condos, the other maybe apartments). Someone really loves this tree, which I photographed with Nikon Zf and NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR lens. Vitals, first: f/6, ISO 100, 1/320 sec, 66mm; 4:01 p.m. PST. Vitals, second: f/6.3, ISO 100, 1/250 sec, 105mm; 4:02 p.m. The second shot is somewhat redundant. But I like both captures. Please zoom in to see the detail.
