This is a good road. It leads to many great adventures in Joshua Tree National Park. Fortunately, traffic wasn’t much of a problem and I was able to take the photo documenting the journey on the way in.

This huge boulder has a pretty epic view of the Sierra. There’s no telling how many sunny days and storms this rock has seen in its time.

I spent Christmas morning with my Dad watching this awesome sunrise. It was the only day that was supposed to be partly cloudy, and there was a light dusting of snow. A perfect moment to take in a sunrise over Lake Michigan!

My neighborhood is always full of Halloween spirit. This ghost on the corner isn’t looking for trouble, he is just hanging around on a moonlit night. The contrasting light really gives him a spooky look against the fall evening. Happy Halloween!

I was actually travelling by car when I took this, but these tracks going toward Mt. Shasta meant I had to make a pit stop. It was a hot day after a lot of driving, and part of me wished I was up on top of Shasta where there is still snow.

It is raining off in the distance, but it is too late to save this dead tree. I loved the contrast of green plants, the old tree, and the clouds in the sky at this spot.

This building stands above the rest of downtown Mountain View. It wasn’t always a nice place to be. After it was built, it was not occupied for many years, and got the name Dog City due to the fact they let dogs live on the first floor to scare away squatters!

An old tree stands watch over the fog and ticky tacky houses of San Francisco.

Most animals don’t want to get involved with a man with a knife, but this bird thought it was a rare opportunity for the best view around!

To say I’m a big fan of Cloud Gate in Millenium Park would be an understatement. There are so many opportunities for photos around this sculpture. I like this early morning shot because no one else was around, and the sun was just starting to light up the city.
