will head for Old Town San Diego State Historical Park on the Saturday Coaster. Plan to enjoy
the 30 minute train ride, and then photograph the treasures of Old Town with its recreated
Mexican and early San Diego original buildings. Additionally, you may be attracted to the Junipero
Serra Museum, Heritage Park's Victorian-style homes, Bazaar Del Mundo and photography
galleries in the area. Many restaurants dot the surrounding streets.
Saturday’s Coaster #642 leaves Oceanside at 9:35 a.m. and Solana Beach at 9:57 a.m. with
intermediate stops in Carlsbad (Poinsettia) and Encinitas. Buy tickets from a machine on site.
Return trains head north at 1:05 p.m. and 4:22 p.m. Rain cancels (even though "weather" makes
great images)! Questions? Call Carolyn Taylor at (760) 931-1807.

MEMBER PROFILE: Barbara Swanson
Barbara Swanson has enjoyed creating and sharing images for many years. She started in photography
after finishing graduate school and finally had time for a hobby. She is self-taught and has learned from
reading books (John Shaw’s are a particular favorite), observing other’s images, and taking lots of pictures.
Some of her favorite subjects are flowers, nature, landscapes and city scenes at dusk. She loves to travel
and tries to capture the beauty and diversity of other places for telling a story about them. She also does a
lot of hiking, but finds it hard not to stop to make an image. As she is often with a group, this has forced her
to learn how to compose quickly! Barbara also enjoys gardening and photographing gardens. She has had
photos published in several dahlia calendars and a gardening magazine.
