Water
Freezing
On the drive home from Tahoe, I stopped at Caples Lake. The lake is starting to freeze over but there is enough water to create reflections on the surface.
Rain Adds Color
Some people thank that when the weather is bad, everything is dark and dreary. I think that rain adds color to the scene. Greens are lusher, the oranges of the rocks seem to pop.
Rain is coming
Recent weather has me cooped up inside and a chance to revisit some photos from the past months. This was taken in late September at Alpine Lake in California. The rain was coming in and I snapped a few shots before putting the camera away for protection. As you can see from the water lines on the boulder, it’s much needed.
Pacific Ocean
On a drive down to Southern California along the coast highway; there were many scenic overlooks to view the Pacific Ocean.
Reduced to a Trickle
Yosemite’s Bridal Veil Falls is normally a torrent of water in the Spring. On this trip it was reduced to a trickle.
Still River
Added a neutral density filter to the lens and it gave the illusion of stillness on the river.
Middle of the Merced
In the photo, I felt like I was standing in the middle of the Merced river looking down river. This river is usually twice as wide.
Fall on the Merced River
Being in California, I’m very fortunate that Yosemite is a few hours away. I usually don’t venture into the park during the holidays but I thought it would be fun to look for something interesting to shoot. It’s Fall now and there are the fallen leaves that line the shores of the Merced River for additional color. I liked how in the top of this photo it’s calm and in the foreground there is all this motion.
