I love the Eastern Sierras

In April we had our first get-away trip since the fire with our dear friends Carl and Shelly. We visited the Alabama Hills near Lone Pine California and Death Valley. Just in time for wildflowers in the Alabama Hills.

 Mt Whitney is just about right in the center of this photo.

New beginings

A lot of water has pasted under the bridge since my  last post. In November we lost our home in Paradise to the Camp Fire. The good news is, we are now very comfortable in our new home in Dayton, NV.

Eastern Sierra

What would October be without some good fall photos. We made a little trip to Bishop, CA around the first of the month. That's the place for some of the best scenery and fall colors in the state.

I took this photo through the sunroof in the car while waiting for my wife. The jist of it is, I'm turning over a new leaf. Going to try to keep up with the blog. More to follow.

Well yes, it's Table Mountain again!

I just had to go to Table Mountain again. For me it's just to easy not to and we had some beautiful clouds today. I was pleasantly surprised to see how man flowers are still there. Some have disappeared but others small ones have appeared and the Lupins have multiplied prolifically. 

Oregon Coast Rocks

On our way home from Portland we did the Oregon coast route because why wouldn't you if you could. Harris Beach and Samuel H. Boardman State Park are a couple of my favorite spots to photograph.

 This is the Alsea Bay Bridge at Waldport as seen from our campsite.

 Just playing around with some evening photos.

Samuel H. Boardman State Park near Seal Point offered a great sunset.

Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival

We got to visit the annual tulip festival near Woodburn, Or. Just an amazing spectacle of colors and beauty. It's definitely worth the time if you ever have a chance to get there.
