Another small storm is coming across Southern California, but we really need more rain here to help with the drought. Below are some picture of two recent storms. The first picture I took on December 23, 2015. The waves were crashing really hard that morning against the roadway. As a matter of fact, most of […]

It’s been a busy weekend for me. I’ve been archiving a lot of photos that were still on my two cameras and trying to figure out where I want to go this year to take photos. I’m sure I’ll be in Yosemite at some point, but I’m hoping to get up north along the California […]

Congratulation to James Smart and his grand prize winning photo called “Dirt”. The picture of a tornado touching down in Colorado won top prize out of thousands of photos submitted to National Geographic from all over the world. To see all the other winners in the three categories as well as honorable mention photos, please […]

Another year has come and gone and this holiday season is flying by. As always, my top resolution for the New Year is to grab my camera and go out and take more photos. I want to continue working on a couple of photo projects, including the litter in our national parks idea I’ve had […]

On my blog post last week, I mentioned the ocean waves along the coast were huge and I wasn’t quite prepared to take photos. As it turns out, I did take some photos that came out ok; below is one of the photos. The rest of the week the waves were really low. I’ll have […]

I haven’t had the opportunity to see the new exhibit at the Annenberg Space for Photography yet, but I did have a chance to see one of their lectures online this last Thursday. The guest photographer was Mac Stone and his lecture was regarding the Everglades. Talk about AMAZING photos! Mac’s lecture was not only […]

The holiday season is here and I’ve added snow to my website. It’s always fun adding a little holiday cheer to the site. Below is a picture I’ve posted before, but thought it would be nice to post again. I was so busy getting ready for the holiday, I forgot to post a blog on […]

One thing I like to do when I visit Yosemite is go up to the high country and look for small areas that are not normally visited by people. One such area is along Tioga Pass, just east of Tuolumne Meadows. It’s the Dana Fork of the Tuolumne River. There really isn’t a parking area […]

While on my last trip to the Sierras, I stopped at a place called Mono Mills, which is a historic landmark where there used to be a lumber mill. While looking around, I spotted a picnic table where someone had placed a group of pine cones. I thought it might make an interesting photo, so […]

I didn’t get many chances to use my new fisheye lens on my latest trip to Yosemite, but the image below is one that I caught with it. The up-shot of the one giant sequoia and other surrounding trees came out pretty good I think. It’s always a challenge to take pictures with such an […]
