The tree looks pretty dead, but the sky has a lot going on!

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.

The hike down this dry trail was getting a little boring until I rounded the corner. Suddenly I was in an entirely different place above the clouds that were rolling in from the ocean. My destination was Stinson Beach below, and the change in landscape made it feel so much closer.

I love waterfalls. I love the ocean. The incredible McWay Waterfall in Big Sur gave me the best of both with a waterfall that drops right onto the beach.

The waters of Lake Tahoe might be calm, but the storms keep coming in. The Sierra Nevadas are finally getting some much needed snow!

This is a good road. It leads to many great adventures in Joshua Tree National Park. Fortunately, traffic wasn’t much of a problem and I was able to take the photo documenting the journey on the way in.

This really was a super Sunday, no bowl required! Living close to Levi’s Stadium, home to this year’s Super Bowl, meant it was a good excuse to get out of town for the weekend and check out Big Sur. A sunset on Pfeiffer Beach with fewer people than usual was just the ticket for a relaxing Sunday.

This sunset was just crazy. I made quick work of getting from my house to this spot in order to capture it! I like the way the tracks disappear off into the center of the last remaining light.

This huge boulder has a pretty epic view of the Sierra. There’s no telling how many sunny days and storms this rock has seen in its time.

I spent Christmas morning with my Dad watching this awesome sunrise. It was the only day that was supposed to be partly cloudy, and there was a light dusting of snow. A perfect moment to take in a sunrise over Lake Michigan!
