Apparently this tree wasn’t getting enough water, it had to reach out a bit into the Truckee River for a drink!

Massive is probably an understatement for this old stump. It is very very large, and the way all the old roots stick up in the air is pretty dramatic.

This one is all about the contrasting colors! Blue on green, and I like it.

I looked out my window just before sunset and saw these day lilies in full bloom. I took advantage of the light just in time before they were covered in the shadows. Instead of focusing on one of them I decided to show how many of them there were in one frame.

A spring flower pushing out its beautiful buds to get ready for summer.

This orange butterfly was minding his own business when I found him, and he didn’t mind posing for a photo op.

This was the first thing I saw after emerging from a cave dive in Mexico. The cave was called Kukulkan. True, it was the way we came in, but from this vantage point I was still in the water after swimming through caves, and it looked quite different. I can’t say I was in a hurry to get out of this place, but the effect of the light at the end of the tunnel got my attention.

These onions direct from the farmer’s market were too good to throw directly on the grill before being enjoyed with some carne asada. Of course I had to bust out the macro and take a few shots first. The progression of colors is what I like here, from white, to red to green.

What is a photographer to do on a rainy weekend in Sacramento? I decided to go snail hunting, and I found many right in my yard. This one was easy to find, and was a little camera shy, turning away from my camera every opportunity he got.

I didn’t ask them directly, but I’m positive these two dogs are old friends just enjoying a day on Cape Cod.
