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

Normally the weather in Northern California this time of year is quite boring for photography. Sunshine, warm days and zero clouds. This year has not been normal. I took advantage of the crazy weather and shot these trees. The lighting was constantly changing and the shadows in the trees and on the ground were all over the place from the shifting clouds above.

This vineyard was absolutely glowing. Everything about it, from the grass to the leaves to the sky was alive with light.

..and then there was an ocean. I think the ocean won this battle.

A pleasant row of tulips, leading to, well, a not so pleasant house. That old house must have a story all its own.

I’m a big fan of the sycamore. So much so that I’ve planted a few around my home. What I was not expecting to see this morning was this contrast of a small, new, yellow leaf among the larger deep green leaves. The combination together did make for quite the contrast!

While walking the streets of Boston, I decided to take a moment to look up instead of down.

It isn’t quite spring yet, at least not if this tree has anything to say about it!

The hike around Mt. Tamalpais has many different scenes to it. Dry hillsides, lush rivers, ocean views and forests to name a few. During this particular part of the hike we were surrounded by dry grass and wet fog, an odd combo.

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