I’ve avoided this photo for awhile, mostly because it was so busy I didn’t really know how to edit it. Looking at it with fresh eyes, I like the way the misty day and soft green moss leads you to the intricate and weird patterns in the tafoni rock. Take a short hike from Skyline Boulevard and you too could check out these interesting rocks.
Hiking up and down the hills of Butano State Park led to lots of different climates in a short distance. This particularly misty section was beautiful and thick with a green covering on the floor of the forest.
The clouds were breaking up and some very late fall colors were still hanging on. Everything lined up to give this shot a whole lotta things going on!
The sun sets through the haze above San Francisco. These warm colors could be almost anywhere until you realize that the Golden Gate Bridge is out there between the layers.
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.
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.
I was not looking for Salt Creek Falls. I was planning a detour after getting rained out of a night of camping. This gave us some extra time to get to the next spot and I was looking for things to see. A small sign for Salt Creek Falls was all that it took to get me to stop, and I was greeted by the second highest waterfall in Oregon at 286 ft.
