This spot on California St in San Francisco made an interesting focal point. I shot into the sun and didn’t mind the way that the flare turned out, I think it adds a little bit to the photo.

This crazy bug was called to my attention one fine morning.  At first it looked like he could have been a leaf perfectly placed on the back of a chair, but on further inspection I saw it was in fact a very curious bug.  As I got very close to him to take this picture he tried to reach out and practically jump onto my lens.  It was almost as if he wanted a closer look!

The top of this fern was pretty, but the underside is where all of the attention to detail was! Each little group of seeds has so much going on.

There weren’t too many of these fish on my dives, and the ones that I did see were more skittish than I was expecting. These three stayed in one spot long enough for me to get a shot.

Here are a few elephants that I rode outside of Chiang Mai, Thailand. We took a one day trek that included seeing these elephants, bamboo rafting, kayaking and visiting some villages. I got a shot of these two elephants in front of the bright green fields just before we left.

On the south side of Crater Lake I found this unexpected little waterfall called Vidae Falls which was surrounded by wildflowers. I was here later in the day when it was overcast, so this little waterfall was almost as good as the lake view itself.

One of the first stops on a recent trip through Oregon was this spot on the Rogue River. The rushing water and lush green were a good introduction to what was in store for us on the trip.

The Sundial Bridge in Redding CA makes a pretty imposing subject. On this day I wasn’t able to use it to tell time, but the overcast sky made for a much better background.

These rocks with swirling water were at the base of Bassi Falls in the Sierra Nevada. I found some of the smaller pools with interesting water currents to be better than the actual waterfall.

This old piece of brewing equipement at Sierra Nevada in Chico caught my eye. The shape of the old valve handles really stands out.
