Ojai Heat Wave

Record high temperatures were forecasted for Los Angeles, hovering around 96 at the beach - which is insane - and 118 in land. We knew there was no escaping it and staying on the beach would have been unbearable. Luckily, we got to to Ojai and meet up with Mia's family. This was my first time back with my new camera so I made sure to get up pre-sunrise Saturday and I hike up a trail overlooking the Ojai valley. There were intense devastating fires throughout this area in December but the valley and many of the homes were spared. We saw evidence of this when we camped here a couple months ago at Wheeler Gorge. The sunrise wasn't great but photos are below. It was 80 degrees at 5:30am and I spent the rest of the day trying to stay cool inside and by a pool. I was so lucky for the opportunity to get away from the boat for the weekend and enjoy a little vacation.

This is actually the first time I tried taking nighttime photos with my new camera and the different is remarkable compared to the older smaller camera sensor. I’m pleased with it. Can you spot the rabbit in the night photo?
