Below are some images of Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park from my trip to the Redwoods. The park was my second favorite place to visit in the Redwoods. Lots of hiking to be done in this park, of which I did! I returned from a week in Yosemite this last Monday. It was an AMAZING […]

My first full day at the Redwoods was all about getting accustomed to the area. I had never been there before, but I heard that the Lady Bird Johnson Grove was one of the best places in the parks, so I started there. As you can see, in the first photo below, that Friday there […]

On my way up to Redwoods National and State Parks, I stopped by the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. I had never driven over the bridge, so it was about time to give it a go. Below is an image of the oil tanker “Unity Venture” sailing under the bridge. Also, there is a […]

I have just returned from a week and a half trip up to the Redwoods, Crater Lake, Lava Beds National Monument, and Lassen Volcanic National Park. It was an incredible trip and I hiked what seemed to be miles and miles and took lots of photos. Below is a sunset image I took along the […]

It’s been four years since I’ve been back to Lassen Volcanic National Park and I can’t wait to see it again this October! Time is drawing close to my trip and I’ll have lots of hiking and photo taking to do. It’ll be nice to get back to nature for a while. Below is an […]

Below is an image I took around the Eastern Sierra on October 19th, 2015. I was on my way up to Tioga Pass to go into Yosemite and caught this image. The clouds were so low that day and wrapped around the snow covered mountains. It really was a sight to see in person. Almost […]

Below is an image of a tarn in the Eastern Sierra just outside of Yosemite; It’s along one of my favorite trails, the Nunatak Nature Trail. Definitely was nice to take a break along the tarn and have lunch. I’ve added an extra destination to my fall Yosemite trip. I’ll be spending one night up […]

There wasn’t much snow pack this last winter in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It was quite evident when I went to Yosemite in June. If you see the image below, that is Quaking Aspen Falls in the high country of Yosemite in June. It usually has much more water flowing through it that time of […]

NASA is planning to send an unmanned mission into space tomorrow morning that will be the first step at sending men/women to the moon. Why the moon? The main reason is to prepare men/women for a more advanced mission to Mars. Below is an image I took of the moon early one morning from McCleod […]

Below is an image I took in Yosemite Valley on my April 2022 trip to Yosemite. I had to go back to my car and get my camera because I had just gone to the valley store to get something to eat and didn’t have my camera with me. The deer had been around Ahwahnee […]
