The fall colors are winding down but I’m not done just yet. These Eastern Sierra aspens were a nice mix of yellows and greens and bright sunlight shining through!

Just before sunset, the aspens on Monitor Pass lit up the most brilliant yellow I have ever seen.

My first fall trip to the Eastern Sierra Nevada in fall was a great success. The leaves were in full color and the weather was fantastic. One large tree standing above the rest got my attention. I’m an engineer, and I solved the problem of the sun being in my face by creating a sun star.

I took some nice fall photos in Murphys last weekend, but on the way back I got an even better surprise. A rainbow was stretching across the sky on and off most of the way home, and I was able to pull over a few times to get this!

I really wanted to know what was in that shed, but I decided to heed the warning on the door.

This vineyard was absolutely glowing. Everything about it, from the grass to the leaves to the sky was alive with light.

A perfectly planted row of trees that were begging to have their picture taken. Their yellow leaves lit up the whole street as I walked by.

It may be December in Northern California, but there are still many shades of leaves on the trees. I was able to frame this one to get some red, orange, yellow and still green leaves all at once.

There were a massive number of birds on these wires. Every once in awhile a group of them would fly away and come right back, almost as if they were shuffling for position. If the movie “The Birds” freaked you out, you probably wouldn’t have liked where I was standing to take this photo.

This cool old mansion in Sacramento looks pretty ominous to me, if I were to guess I’d say it is haunted. But the gate is open, so you can go check it out for yourself.
