The Hill and the Tree

I did a quick trip up this hill with a friend to make it to this spot just in time for the last bit of sunset. The sky over the bay was beautiful, but one tree sticking out on its own really stood out for me.

Patience is a Virtue

You might look at this photo and see some interesting basalt sea stacks and a beautiful black sand beach. What I see is waiting and waiting and waiting, an extreme exercise in patience as I waited for the moment when no one else was standing or climbing on these rocks. It paid off, and I’m glad I didn’t have to decide if I should photoshop people out of the shot or not!

I Miss New York City

The big city of dreams, the city that never sleeps, the home of Liz Lemon. All great things. This was a particularly fun night walking around NYC and keeping our eyes looking up. 30 Rockefeller Plaza is spectacular in the way it lights up the night sky.

Blue and Purple and Needle

From this angle the funky colors of the Experience Music Project Museum next to the Space Needle almost make it look like part of the sky is missing.

White Buds

The colors behind have already popped, but these white buds are holding out a little while longer before showing off their flowers.

Palms in the Hood

This nice and even row of palm trees with a few taller outliers has always interested me. The sunset on this night was the perfect way to show off this particular street in my neighborhood.

Into the Fog

I don’t always give my photos the black and white treatment, but when I do I make sure they are spooky like these trees. What made this hike unique was the mix of sun and fog. I didn’t take many pictures of the sun, but these trees in the fog caught my eye.

The Pea

This little guy is about the size of a pea, and very hard to find in the great big ocean. This juvenile trunkfish will grow up to be something completely different, but now he is basically a floating pea. He also doesn’t like to hold still very long to have his picture taken! I saw him while diving recently on the West End Wall in Roatan.

Grass Valley Sunset

A big old tree, and a colorful sunset over Grass Valley California.


Tahoe Winter Sunset

On a hike out after a day of back country skiing, I was rewarded with this intense sunset. The mountains provided the perfect venue to take it all in and relax for a minute before heading back to the cabin. What a great day!
