Traffic on The Embarcadero never stops. The good news is that if you wait until sun down, the lights and the Ferry Building really make the palm trees glow.
The Tiny Seahorse
Last week was all about the big sharks, this week is all about a tiny seahorse. I was very lucky to see multiple seahorses during my dive at Blue Heron Bridge. This orange seahorse was happy to stay still for his photo op, which I greatly appreciated! The eyes are very interesting, it almost looks as if they are completely hollow.
The Curious Sharks
Why would I go diving with sharks? To dispel the myth that they are interested in biting people. These sharks were very curious and wanted to check out all the divers around them, but they are very aware of what type of food they are looking for, and it isn’t us. The chance to be up close and personal with these impressive animals was a very exciting opportunity and something I’ll never forget. You can see two other divers with cameras doing the same thing I was, trying to get clear photos of these amazing creatures. Long live the sharks!
Green and Gold at Lambeau Field
The Packers may not always win, as will be apparent by their absence this weekend, but seeing a game at Lambeau Field is always a good time. True fans endure the cold and inclement weather to yell GO PACK GO and cheer on The Pack!
Marble Marble Marble
I had a great long weekend in Boise, hit some mountain bike trials, floated down the river, and generally enjoyed the vibe of the town. Just don’t tell people you are from California or about half of the folks you meet might suggest you go back to where you came from. What people in Boise do love is marble, as they have used literal tons of it to build the very beautiful Idaho State Capitol.
Soaring into 2020
Normally I’m more interested in landscapes than birds in flight, but when I knew there would be a bald eagle nearby I rented a big lens (not big enough) and stalked this eagle until I got the shot. Cheers to another great year and to soaring into 2020 with big things ahead of us!
Tree of Hope
Christmas has come and gone, but the Tree of Hope at Grace Cathedral shines on. This tree is decorated with thousands of origami cranes. Each one has a handwritten message of hope from people around the world. Cheers to a new year and making all of your hopes and dreams come true!
Almost Sunset
Market Street is a busy scene, lots of things happening and people going every direction. Just before the sun went down I had a clear view all the way to the Ferry Building and some nice light with the sun low in the sky.
Tafoni for Me, Tafoni for You
I’ve avoided this photo for awhile, mostly because it was so busy I didn’t really know how to edit it. Looking at it with fresh eyes, I like the way the misty day and soft green moss leads you to the intricate and weird patterns in the tafoni rock. Take a short hike from Skyline Boulevard and you too could check out these interesting rocks.
Little Nemos
These little clownfish, or as they might be more affectionately known as Nemo, love to hide in anemones. They love it so much in fact that it took quite a while for me to catch them lined up just like this and grab a photo.
