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

On a hike out after a day of back country skiing, I was rewarded with this intense sunset. The mountains provided the perfect venue to take it all in and relax for a minute before heading back to the cabin. What a great day!

A favorite view of mine, and a fantastic sunset. I like the almost purple color in the sky with the intense orange reflected by the city skyline.

I wish that this was one of my scuba diving photos but it is not. Instead it was taken in a fish tank, but I like it anyway. This little fish was puckering up for someone!

A sure sign of spring, the flowers are blooming!

I like photographing trees. If I can get something interesting like this sunset in the background, all the better.

Bicycles available for borrowing outside of the h2hotel in Healdsburg, CA. Our destination was the Spoonbar inside the hotel, but I didn’t make it inside without noticing these sharp white bicycles. I especially liked the way the purplish lights created shadows of the bike pedals on the concrete below.

I had time for a few quick photos on my way from the bus stop to one of my favorite sunrise locations, the bean in Millennium Park. This particular building with some morning traffic in front of it was worth the stop.

Happy New Year! This picture seemed like a great one for New Year’s Day, just as today is the first day of a new year, this was a great sunrise on a new day. This particular lighthouse is in Algoma Wisconsin and is something that I was vary familiar with growing up, often hearing the fog horn from my house. The ice on the shore was a pretty good indication of temperature I got to enjoy while I was waiting for the sun to rise!

With a little creative lighting I was able to show off both the buds and and vase at the same time! I’ll give extra credit if you can guess what I used for the back light.
