A perfectly planted row of trees that were begging to have their picture taken. Their yellow leaves lit up the whole street as I walked by.

Some tiny yellow buds bursting onto the scene from their white stems.

This shot is pure yellow. I liked getting close for this one, it almost makes me forget exactly what I’m looking at.

I’m not sure what was growing in this field, but I’m pretty sure they weren’t making wine with it this year. It did make the scene non-typical for a vineyard in Napa, and the blossoms really popped against the sky.

Meet creepy dude. He has red eyes, bad hair, a big nose, and likes to hang out in Portland. He is probably auditioning for the leading role in the upcoming movie Saw VII. We crossed paths and he allowed me this one shot. I think I nailed it!

This ant was crawling all around a flower that I found.  In this shot it looks like he is debating whether or not to step into an abyss.

This little flower seemed to be just bursting out of the center.  I shot this one in the morning so I was able to get some nice dew on the petals.

An interesting old staircase that leads to somewhere you probably don’t want to go.

Today is the last day of the California State Fair, so here is one final image of a previous fair.  I was glad I was able to make the chairs appear still while the background swirled all around.  It was difficult to shoot this while on the ride, but I was able to make it work and the result came out exactly as I wanted it.
