What I enjoy about hiking is that panoramic view. You stand, as if at the top of the world, and survey what feels, at that moment, like your domain.

Under a big sky, everything else -- the everything else that too often fills your thoughts and makes up your worries -- feels very small and distant.

Calm, relaxed, serene, she moved slowly yet gracefully, her thoughts as tranquil as her movements.

The bath had been so warm and relaxing; a little steam misted over the mirrors, and the air in the room was of the perfect temperature.

This was quite the perfect way to spend some time.

Children bubble.

There is a vivacity about their being that brings a spring to their step, a bounce to their hop, an ebullience and sparkle to pretty much every movement they make.

They play with joy, discover with wonder, live with innocence and rapture.

How much we adults can learn from them!

The question isn't, "Do I take a walk?" but, "Should I bring the dog?"

Because she knows when I'm going on a walk. Pacing intently, tail thumping against the furniture, she looks at me with those eyes, then runs off to the laundry room where she knows the harness is.

But do I want to deal with the tugging and pulling, snuffling and sniffing?

Oh . . . probably yes.

As we kick off into summer, I always like to think back to just a few months ago when summer was just a dream, and cold was the present reality.

It's so easy to forget, especially in the heat of summer, that nature has her seasons, with different features in each one. Cold in winter, hot in summer, BUT, because nature and weather are unpredictable, surprises aren't unexpected.

May you get out there, often, to that beautiful place where you feel inspired, relaxed, calm, creative, and free to be who and what you are.

That's how good things get done on this planet -- by individual people who express themselves through who they are, and what they love to do.

Sunrise on the Petaluma River

The Petaluma River spills into San Pablo Bay just north of San Francisco. The Petaluma River was important to the growth of the young and booming city of San Francisco during the gold rush days. Petaluma had a large poultry processing centers. Schooners would sail the Petaluma River in order to deliver the goods from Sonoma county to San Francisco.

Lakeville Barn

Lakeville highway in Sonoma County runs south out of Petaluma and empties out on highway 37.
Thirty years ago the land along Lakeville highway was mainly old family farms where cows and sheep were common.
Today there are few of the farms that were there when I first started traveling the road. This is one of them.

Water Play

I travel to Yosemite Valley on a regular basis to hike and to shoot photography. Sometimes when I'm not hiking I'll just sit and enjoy the surroundings. This is especially true while waiting for good lighting to capture some of the areas many landmarks.
I spent time searching the river for trout and just enjoying listening to the water rush by. That's when I spotted this little sparkle.

Reflection of the Past

Years ago I had joined a photography club in town. One of our field trips was a trip out to the local airport to visit the hangers of WWII flying ace Duncan Miller.
In this image I have his Model A with a reflection of his C47 in the window. It seemed only proper that I convert the old war plane to a black and white.

Blue Angels

The Blue Angels until recently have visited the city of San Francisco on an annual basis during what is known as Fleet Week. Fleet Week at one point was a celebration for the Navy and the sailors as they visited various cities around the country. The Navy would pull into port and open up their ships to the public and use the event as a huge public relations tool.

Pt Reyes Lighthouse

There are 308 stairs that lead down to the lighthouse and the lighthouse is 37 feet above sea level. The Point Reyes Lighthouse is the windiest and foggiest on the west coast. The station is often blanketed by weeklong periods of fog.
This particular overlook is also very popular with whale watchers. Spring and fall are the best time to see whales here.

Winter Falls

This photo was taken in Mid-Winter in Yosemite Valley. One of my favorite times to be in the valley
This was taken from the swinging bridge that crosses the Merced River south of Yosemite Falls.
Yosemite Falls is the tallest waterfall in North America. From top to bottom it measures 2, 425 feet. The upper portion of the falls, the Upper Falls as seen here has a drop of 1, 430 ft.

The Pt Reyes Lighthouse

The Pt. Reyes Lighthouse sits on the Northwestern Point of Pt. Reyes National Seashore in Marin County a little over an hour and a half north of San Francisco. The lighthouse wouldn't be so special if it didn't sit on the piece of real estate that it sits on.
To get out to the lighthouse a person must first walk down 300+ steps to get to the building.

Silhouetted Cypresses

Shooting sunsets along the Northern California Coast can be a real challenge. Many times the low lying fog covers up the sun. This is more likely to happen during the warm summer months when you would like to spend time at the ocean. I caught this during the late spring. Captured along the California Coast near Monterey.

The Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge is the most photographed bridge in the world. It's easy to understand why. The bridge itself is a beautiful piece of architectural art work and the setting is incredible.
The span reaches across the white capped waves of the San Francisco Bay below over to Marin County.
On this day the sky is blue but it's deceptively cold for San Francisco.
