Break in the Storm
It’s been raining here on the West Coast. After work, I drove down the coast to see if I could get a break during the storms and snap some cool shots. This was about 30 minutes before sunset and the clouds let up a bit to add some light to the shore. The stormy clouds still packed with rain.
Roots & Moss at River’s Edge
I was looking at this shot thinking, “yeah, they’re 3 items in here that could stand alone” (rule of 3rds) So, I cropped the photo above and tested the theory into foreground, mid and background. (Ok, maybe a little work with the background shot) 😉
Moss on Old Redwood
I thought that this moss was cool looking growing up this giant trunk of Redwood.
Morning in Yosemite
I drove into Yosemite on Sunday but I was too late for the sunrise 
but I wasn’t about to let the day go to waste. Drove down to Yosemite Valley and wandered the banks of the Merced River for the better part of the morning. In the distance you can see Bridal Veil Falls and if you look really close, you can see its reflection in the Merced.
Boardwalk at Sunset in Yellowstone
The sun was setting, the warm colors were reflecting off the stream & water in the hot springs.
Postcard from Yosemite
I never get tired of this view of Yosemite Valley. You’ve probably seen a billion photos from this angle but there’s something about this area that I see something inspiring every time. In this shot the looming storm clouds in the distance made this shot appealing.
Vineyards and the dormant Rancho Seco
I was driving home last weekend and decided to take the old highway that runs parallel to highway 50. In the distance I saw the dormant nuclear plant power, Rancho Seco near Galt. The plant closed in 1989 by public vote dues to many infractions that raised public awareness to its plight. Today, it stands out among the vineyards and pastures in the Sacramento valley.
