I’m not sure if Tioga Pass is going to be open when I go up next month to the Eastern Sierra. With close to a 200% snow year this last winter season, it’s hard to say when the road is going to open. If it does open, I’ll be driving up to about 10,000 feet […]

I joined my sister and niece this weekend and went to the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserver. This was the first time I had been there and wasn’t disappointed. While it’s considered a moderate bloom this year, there was still an amazing display of color. There was also a huge crowd of people on Saturday […]

The photo below was taken in October of 2012 around Glacier Point in Yosemite. The coyotes up in the area are familiar with people and tend to get closer than they should. Hopefully visitors remember they shouldn’t approach or feed the animals no matter how beautiful or cute they are. This winter season brought a […]

It was a busy weekend for me. Lots of domestic things to get done. I really need to get out and do some photography. Looking forward to Mammoth and possibly Yosemite in May. I’m not sure Tioga Pass is going to be open, so I may have to look for some alternative adventures. Most of […]

Yes, you’ve guessed it. I’m going back to Mammoth and Yosemite sometime in May. However, there’s a possibility that Tioga Pass may not be open when I go. The higher elevation received so much snow this last winter, it’s hard to say if the roads will be plowed in time. It was almost a 200% […]

I went to the theater today and saw the film All About Eve. The movie stars Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, Celeste Holm, Thelma Ritter, and a very young up-and-coming star known as Marilyn Monroe. The film was made in 1950 and is such a great classic! So, what does going to see this […]

Tonight’s sunset was really nice. I didn’t quite get the pictures I wanted at my favorite beach, but I’ll take what I can get. I was hoping for nice clearing storm clouds from the weekend rain, but the clouds started to separate around sunset. Below is one of the photos I took this evening. It’s […]

It’s been raining in California! I think this is the most rain I’ve seen in years. It’s been really great and we’re expecting more rain tomorrow. It’s raining this evening and I’ve been enjoying the sound of it coming down on the balcony. Below is a photo I took of a tree that’s in the […]

I drove down to the Annenberg Space for Photography and Skylight Studios today and saw their latest exhibits: Identity and #GirlGaze. Both exhibits are really great! Identity focuses on the portraiture work of Timothy Greenfield-Sanders and is broken down into five groups: The Latino List; The Women’s List; The Trans List; The Out List; The […]

The picture below I took during my last trip to Yosemite in October 2016. No, it’s not a forest fire burning out of control; It’s actually a clearing storm that was going through the forest in an area just west of Yosemite called Foresta. The forest in this area was burned pretty severely back in […]
