Winter Gold
Since we've had little summer here, it feels like Portland or Seattle; cool, some rain, afternoon clouds and overnight thunderstorms. I'm not complaining per se about the cool weather, as I'm sure it's going to be a hot summer in a week or so. As a reminder to myself...
Diner Light
Taken last November when we had our crazy 1.5 day trip to Los Angeles. That doesn't seem so long ago. Weird how time does that.
Paradise Indeed
Taken on my last walk with Leta. She liked the colors but we were close to the Beach! the Beach, daddy, the Beach! that I couldn't frame this quite like I wanted. Still, these plants grow everywhere in southern California. It's crazy how big some of them can be....
The Tree Accommodates
This was shot with the 12-24 and has a super trippy thing going on at the edges that I really like. I don't shoot as much as I thought I would with this lens, but the tree seemed to call out "super wide angle, bro". Not that I actually heard it call out or spoke back...
Boids
Their rock appears to be segregated. I wonder why.
Starglemorph Tree
I have no idea what kind of tree this is and because it looks a bit Seuss, I gave it my own classification and name. We've had great weather on this trip and today looks to be no different. Beautiful! If we can make it home without an ER visit, this trip will be a...
Winter Alive
It's been wonderful to show Leta new trees and flowers. She and I (she and me?) went on a walk at dusk to look at flowers and it was like I had a new daughter; one that was interested in the outside world instead of books and imagination. We'll be exploring more and...
Happy Puppy
I was trying to capture a sweet sunset on the Pacific Coast and when I pulled the image off the card and started working on it, I realized I caught a very happy dog running like crazy.
Vacation Neon
I'm in a deep state of chill. Watching TV in the mid-morning (don't normally do that) and sipping coffee barefoot (normally do that). So nice. I'd forgotten about how amazing the produce is in California. I miss the produce. I did a slow-motion spin in the produce...
Golden Trumpeter
I'll try to avoid a lengthy explaination of Mormon iconography. This guy is the angel Moroni. He sits atop every Mormon temple. Last Friday, we did a quick tour of the temple the LDS Church built in Draper, Utah. It's a beautiful building. It's in one of the most...
Devil Tree Pods
These pods will withstand the nuclear winter.
Dead and Alive
This time of year, vegetation amazes me. Stuff is still growing under the snow. Growing and waiting to attack. Zombie vegetation would probably be a better title.
Crisp Winter Morning
Taken last week when winter began in earnest. Earnest Goes to Winter? Jim Varney, RIP.
Fog II
Second shot from the air of the thick and flight-delaying fog. I did a bit of color tweak on this one. Some people didn't mind the fog in SF. I always did. Especially in the summer. There is no summer in SF. There is a really nice delayed summer in late September and...
Pacific Fog I
Took this on the very delayed flight in to SFO. I also shot some time lapse (photo taken every second and saved out as a movie) in flight and posted it to flickr. You can see the crazy fog in motion here. I've got another one that I'll share tomorrow.
Bear II
This guy is another of the bears around Garden City, Utah. This one's a little more skeptical than the last. This guy might be a this gal. Time will tell. It always does.
Bear
One of several bears carved out of tree trunks that dot Garden City, Utah. I love this guy. His face is awesome. I've got a profile shot I'll share Monday. Bear!
Remember the Summer
I know that I was supposed to hold onto this image until it got really bad. It hasn't snowed enough to stick yet, so technically, I'm way ahead of the game, here. This was taken in Destin, Florida back in June, 2008. All the way back then. Wow, I miss it.
