Gay Pride at Lands End. To honor Pride Weekend in San Francisco, here’s an image of the rock or sea stack just off the coast at Lands End, the westernmost point of San Francisco. I took this image and then added the color. Kinda like virtual graffiti. This year's Pride weekend falls on the...
Front lawn decorations
Front lawn decorations
May 01, 2022
A bit of whimsy found while walking in the small coastal town of Pescadero. A cute village surrounded by farmlands and just a stones throw from the Pacific Ocean. Of course, when I think of lawn decorations my mind goes to ceramic garden gnomes, tiny wishing wells, white picket fences, or...

What a difference a night makes. Just the previous evening was a clear coast and I got a nice image of the milky way over the coast. Next day, the coast was fogged in. The weather is not predictable on the California coast.This composition was a regular theme on my trip along the Sonoma coast....

Super Full Moon Setting. Moonset/Sunrise on the California coast At about 6am on the California coast at Rockaway Beach, I caught this image of the super full moon setting as the sun rose behind me. Just enough light from the sun to illuminate the rocky beach, and dark enough to enable me to...

Defying gravity
Apr 25, 2022
I was so looking forward to this year's Fleet Week Airshow after a 2 year covid hiatus. I filled two memory cards with images, nearly 1500 alone on the Blue Angels. But here is one of my first edited images from that day.  Defying gravity … and signs. Lucas Oil Pitts over the Aquatic...

The gardens at the Filoli estate are one of my favorite places to visit. Here are a couple of images that are gateways to the beauty of this location.  First, the garden door that leads from the mansion to the sunken garden. Through this seemingly magical door you access the many tailored...

Sunset behind Golden Gate Bridge. Sun over Fort Point. Golden hour at the Golden Gate Bridge. What could be better? How about an image of the setting sun's rays above Fort Point. Getting that sunburst through the structure of the Golden Gate Bridge needed no special equipment, no special lens or...

Poppies in bloom. On the California coast.
Mar 11, 2022
Our state flower is one of my favorite flowers. Every spring, the hills and valley meadows burst with colors of green and orange. The poppy is a protected wildflower, though it grows like a weed every spring. By law, the most you can take is a picture. Or plant some seeds. Or both. Inspiring you...
Can you see the dragon? Waves, rocks, clouds and sun.
Can you see the dragon? Waves, rocks, clouds and sun.
Mar 10, 2022
Patience is the name of the game for taking images of crashing waves. I find a good spot and I wait. I count the waves, there is some truth to the old saw that says the seventh wave is the largest in a set. But… which wave is number one? Patience. All will be revealed.  Drama is...
