  • Mono Lake Sunset

    Mono Lake Sunset

    Each year the water level of Mono Lake continues to decline as water demand continues to rise in the southern part of the state. Lowering the Lake to provide water to the people living in the City of Angles was prohibited by a law passed in the late 1970s. As the water drops each year, more Tufa is exposed, making for ever-changing scenery. The whitest part of the tufa at the bottom would not have been visible even a couple of years earlier.

    Creek - Hot Creek Geologic Site

    Volcanic activity here in the Hot Creek Geologic Site can raise water temperatures above boiling point and be heavily laden with Sulfuric Acid. Not a creek to you would want to fall into. This is a beautiful area to visit, especially in the winter; however, when visiting the site, please follow directions and, stay behind the fence line; stay safe.

    Colorful Plant Foliage- Yosemite National Park

    This plant surrounded a small pond with no name along the roadside in Yosemite National Park. I have visited the area many times since the photo was taken back in 2008 but have not since seen a color like this. Indeed an exceptional moment in time.

    The Chinese Tallow tree is one of the most beautiful trees you will find during the fall color season. Each tree leaf takes on unique colors, making for excellent mixed foliage colors on one tree.

    The creek that leads away from the base of Watson Creek Falls is always lined with fresh-looking moss and ferns; that's what you get for living in a Rainy State.

  • Canyon headed to Tokatee Falls, Oregon

    Canyon headed to Tokatee Falls, Oregon

    As a landscape photographer, you can find yourself in some precarious situations. To capture this image, I climbed down a very slippery and steep rock slope, which was dry but covered in a dusting of sand. As I started to depart, I lost my footing and slid foot-first, headed for the freezing creek water below. With my feet and lower legs already over the edge, I caught hold of a small branch and managed to stop my fall. Just around the corner of the distant creek shown here is a 125-foot waterfall. Being by myself, I would have been hard to find holding onto the rocks in the stream to have stopped my plunge. Whew! Close call!

    This waterfall has little to no water moving through for most of the year; during the rainy season the water can run cloudy with sediment thus the brown tint to part of what you see here.
