Leo Carrillo Ranch - Carlsbad, CA - San Diego dSLR Monthly Group Shoot - Jan 2012

Leo Carrillo Ranch in Carlsbad, CA is a great place to spend a few hours wandering around with a camera. It's even more fun with a whole group of friends. Formerly the home of the actor Leo Carrillo, the ranch is now a City park, and was the site of this month's Group Shoot for the San Diego DSLR Photo Group (sandiegodslr.org). Here are a few pictures from this morning.

In addition to the adobe structures and a huge variety of plant life, there is also a fairly large resident group of peafowl, including an albino. I didn't get a shot of the albino this time, but I did manage to crop this close up from a much larger frame (I wasn't carrying a long lens this time).

There was also a group of watercolor artists there on Saturday.
