The photo below was taken along the beach near Ventura Harbor on February 6th this year. It was a pretty clear morning to see the Channel Islands in the distance. You can see the sun just lighting up the top of the waves on the left side of the image as it rose over the […]

Late last week I spent an early morning and sunrise at Ventura Harbor and watched the HR Morris do some sand dredging.  Below are some images of the HR Morris from that morning.  You can see in the last image the HR Morris in the distance on the left and the sand it was dredging […]

Below is Sunday’s sunrise from the weekend before this last weekend. Sunrises like this makes days seem so much better. I’ve made reservations for Yosemite in the next couple of months. I did it randomly because I really need to get out of the city and enjoy nature…and I can’t wait anymore. 🙂 My fall […]

Some mornings at the beach just make me want to sail away to the Channel Islands. Below are some images I took while at the beach this morning. I’m slowly getting my Pacific Northwest trip put together. Some destinations are a little harder to plan than I thought. Mount Rainier is particularly difficult. Two specific […]

I spent Sunday early morning walking along the beach so I could get some needed exercise. The fishermen were out in force to enjoy the high tide conditions which brought the ocean current really close up the beach. Below is an image I took of three fishermen casting their lines along the beach. January has […]

I took in an early morning sunrise at Ventura Harbor today. It’s always great to see the sunrise around the ocean. Surfers were out enjoying the waves along the breakers and fishers were casting their lines into the ocean as the sun lit up the area. I went over to the Channel Islands National Park […]

Yosemite always provides inspiration of all kinds. Below are a few images of rock climbers up El Capitan while I was in Yosemite in October 2021. People all over Yosemite Valley were spending hours watching several climbers scale the huge granite feature. I spent about an hour taking images and being inspired by their skill […]

This is the first year in a long time that I haven’t had any solid plans as to what I want to do in the coming months. I need to start thinking of trips to some new national parks as well as revisiting old ones. Lassen Volcanic is a definite idea! I miss that place […]

On December 26th I decided to go out to Ventura Harbor and test out a new wide angle lens I received for Christmas. Below are two images from that early morning. And of course one of the images was photo bombed (or should I say “Pug Bombed”) by a cute little dog. 🙂 I hope […]

On my last trip to Yosemite, I hiked to Glacier Point since the road to the area was closed due to snow. When I reached Glacier Point I took several photos of the surrounding area. I ended up using a super telephoto lens I had recently purchased. To give you an example of how much […]
