    Zion National Park

    After my visit to Death Valley, I spent two nights in Zion National Park. This was my fourth or fifth visit to the park, but the first time in winter and the first time staying in Zion Lodge, right in the heart of Zion Canyon. There was snow at elevation, but none in the valley. […]

    Death Valley National Park

    I took a quick trip to Death Valley National Park 9-12 January 2023, arriving along with one of southern California’s recent atmospheric rivers dumping rain on the state. It was raining as I arrived at the west entrance to the park near Panamint Springs, and that did make for some interesting shooting conditions. I spent […]

    La Jolla Tide Pools

    I have visited La Jolla countless times, but oddly, I’ve never taken photos of the tide pools there until last night. They are easy to access and I’m sure I’ll be back. Luckily, I was there after low tide, but the tide was coming back in, and I had to dodge a few waves splashing […]

  • SoCal Wildflower Bloom

    SoCal Wildflower Bloom

    Spring has sprung in Southern California! Yes, SoCal really does have seasons, as mild as they are. This photographic expedition required a bit more effort, as the location was about 250 miles from my home, and I had to drive across Los Angeles to get there. That is never fun. Ever. I planned my trip […]

  • Yosemite National Park

    Yosemite National Park

    Last week (16-19 November 2021), I made a quick run to Yosemite National Park. It was my first visit there since September 2009, and I was anxious to get out and capture some images. I arrived at the Tunnel View around 3:30 p.m., just in time to catch the setting sun light up El Capitan […]

  • Exploring Arizona and Zion

    Exploring Arizona and Zion

    Last week, I took six days to do a little photography scouting trip of some new locations and of some that I hadn’t been to in over 30 years. Here are some of the results of that recon trip. One thing that was a bit of a photographer’s “nightmare” was the fact that I saw […]

    Out Playing

    All the years that I’ve been playing with my digital photography, the vast majority of my images were taken on my 24-105 mm lens, and I didn’t own a wider angle lens than that. Until just before my trip to Switzerland. I finally broke down and purchased a 16-35 mm f/4 lens. I thought it […]

  • Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve

    Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve

    Apparently, poppies hate wind. So do I. Each spring, poppies and other wildflowers blanket the 1,800 acre / 728 hectare Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve near Lancaster, California. It’s something that I’ve wanted to see since moving to California. The poppies were right at their peak last week, so I drove up on Saturday, 20 […]

    Switzerland 2019

    I just returned from ten days touring Switzerland, spending time in Luzern, Interlaken, Bern, and Fiesch. Of course, so many parts of Switzerland are so stunningly beautiful that it just takes your breath away. While I was there, it snowed in a good chunk of the country, leaving about a meter of fresh snow in […]

  • Anza-Borrego Desert in Bloom

    Anza-Borrego Desert in Bloom

    After a rainy winter, the Anza-Borrego Desert is coming alive with blooming wildflowers in different areas of the park. There were maps of the flower “hot spots” available at the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park visitor center. The 20-30 mph winds made any macro photography of the flowers impossible—they were just bouncing around way too much. […]
