Pacific Grove with a long shutter

I recently rediscovered my neutral density filters and I've been having fun. When I went down to Monterey Bay for a weekend bike ride, I found myself completely enthralled by the beautiful purple carpet in Pacific Grove. So since I was coming back the next weekend, I knew I'd want to take some long shutters.

The sky wasn't as blue as during the bike ride, but sometimes I think that works for me. Tell me what you think...

Because I'm using more than one filter, you get these black corners, but sometimes I like it...
