After spending all day kayaking a safe (for them) distance from many sea otters, this guy had a unique expression on his face. I think he looks like he wants to know what is up with me instead of the other way around.
From the High Line
The High Line in New York City is a great way to take a break from the city. While walking above it all you get to appreciate the pace of everyone moving below.
Manhattan Sunset
My original plan was to go to the top of Rockefeller Center to catch the sunset. Then it started raining, and then it started pouring. I was sure sunset was not going to happen. When the storm cleared right before sunset we were with our gracious hosts on Roosevelt Island and rushed to the roof. The sunset was super bright, and the leftover storm clouds were dramatic. Since it was just a few days past Manhattanhenge, where the direction of the sunset lines up with the corridors of the city, I was able to get the sun between two buildings right before it disappeared. Sometimes missed plans work out after all.
Coit Tower
I’m a fan of sunstars and like to incorporate them in a photo whenever I can. This time I was able to get Coit Tower reaching for the clouds and a sunstar shining down all at the same time! Success!
Betty Jane
Prior to Memorial Day I was at the Wings of Freedom Tour and saw some very nice old war planes. This shiny Mustang has seen a lot but still took to the skies with a lucky passenger shortly after I took this.
The Majestic Green Sea Turtle
In celebration of World Turtle Day, I went deep into my archives to find this friend. Diving with turtles is always amazing, and this particular one seemed particularly happy to pose on the bottom of the ocean while I took this photo. Long live the turtles!
The Tree and the Sky
The tree looks pretty dead, but the sky has a lot going on!
Nob Hill
For a few moments one small break in the clouds let some nice light shine down on Nob Hill. It almost looks like the top of the hill punched a hole in the sky.
Pulgas Water Temple
I like architecture and I like wide angle shots. Combining these two made for a cool angle on the Pulgas Water Temple. This structure is straight and narrow, but getting right under it looking up at the sky makes it look like something else completely.
Spring has Sprung!
Get out there and enjoy the flowers. This bee certainly is!
