A walk around La Jolla

Saturday was a rainy day, but when things cleared up I was able to take a nice walk around downtown La Jolla!  It also gave me a chance to play a bit with my new lens!

Now, I have zero sense of direction, so I ended up getting pretty lost, but I saw a lot of neat things I haven't seen before!

 One place I ended up was the St. James by-the-sea Episcopal Church, which had both this neat fountain:

As well as all sorts of interesting nautical-themed objects on the church doors.  Also, for some reason someone left an apple and plastic bag, and what looked like half an animal cracker?

There was also one of those rotating-ball-fountain thingies close to the La Jolla Cove.  Got some interesting stares when I was getting close to this for the shot, but if you're not getting weird stares in public, you must be doing something wrong!
