An unusually warm and clear weekend in Capitola meant some great early light over the ocean.
Capitola Sunrise
Nike Women’s Marathon
I was in San Francisco recently to cheer on my favorite runner in the Nike Women’s Marathon. I don’t think I’ve ever been in Union Square for sunrise before so I took the opportunity to work on my photography!
Biscuit?
Meet Gob, my favorite English Bulldog. He can be pretty crazy at times, but promise him a treat and you’ll have his undivided attention.
It Is Easy Being Green
I photographed this bug in his natural environment of course, on the edge of a paper grocery bag!
BU Bridge
The view of the train bridge converted to a bike path from the Boston University Bridge almost gives you too much to take in at once. Graffiti, boats, skyline, all very different elements in one place. While I was standing here a sailboat slowly crashed into the bridge, and was quickly pulled away by another boat. These rental boats must get some good abuse!
Rose
I was in the backyard taking photos of the very last rose left at the end of summer. I thought the photos would be OK but typical. I was so intent on keeping the shot in focus I didn’t realize I wasn’t the only one enjoying that very flower!
Flowers on the Mountain
Red flowers stand all over the top of Squaw Valley, with The Palisades off in the distance. I like hiking here in the summer and taking pictures, but I like skiing here in the winter even more!
The Swoop
I can’t take all the credit for this one, a friend pointed out the way this water was curved on a hike at Squaw Valley. I took the liberty of playing with the harsh light and shadows to help bring out the curve of water.
The Stevenson
Call it the Stevenson Expressway, call it Interstate 55, but I call it a nice photo from the air. I was in Chicago and caught this view on my flight out. Of course I was hoping for a strange and unlikely route back across the city skyline from Midway, but that didn’t happen. Then I was hoping for some beautiful light from sunset that happened a few moments before this, but they turned the plane around and went back to the gate to pick up a passenger (honestly!) burning my precious time. In the end it all worked out, and I got some nice lighting in the sky and an interesting interchange below.
City on a Tilt
Sometimes I like things just a little off kilter. In this case, Capitol Mall in Sacramento at night!
