Altamont Pass Wind Farm in California. The nation's first wind farm. I had to pull over and photograph the beautiful golden rolling hills with the back drop of the blue sky.

"Golden Reflection" My first visit to the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, California. It was originally constructed as part of the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition. The size of the columns and rotunda are massive and beautiful.

"The Grandeur of Yosemite" I had the opportunity to take my cousin to Yosemite for the first time while he was visiting me from Mexico. He stated that it is the most beautiful place that he has ever seen and was blown away with the grandeur of Yosemite. It's awesome to see someone experience Yosemite for the first time.

Caught this shot just before the rain began to fall...

The Old Fresno Water Tower was built in 1894 by the renowned architect George Washington Maher.

The Central Valley Foothills are alive and well after an early rainfall, helping to relieve our 4 year drought! Bring on some spring rain now!

What's the best thing to do on a beautiful day? Grab the camera, a friend and take a drive!

A stormy day in Shell Beach, CA

Pismo Beach Pier in the distance

We had to drive to my hometown of Squaw Valley, CA. While there we noticed the surrounding mountains full of snow. We drove about 10 mins and came upon this area. He had never seen falling snow before. This photo perfectly captured the moment.

Another evening on the Central Coast...

...and, yes, it was a winter's day!

Sunset isn't the ONLY time to take photos at the beach...

Another incredible Pismo Beach sunset

Storm drain at one of my favorite beaches...an interesting view of man and nature.

It had just rained before I took this shot, and this brief moment happened - the sky itself became a rainbow as the sun dipped below the horizon.

A very low tide day...had to walk out quite far on precarious rock outcroppings to get anything worthwhile...but it was worth it in the end.

Beautiful sunset this evening...although "blue hour" was socked in with a bank of gray clouds, so that was a bit of a bummer. Still managed a few good shots before that happened, though.

It's been a while since I've shared any of my "horse show" shots, so I thought I would throw up this little candid of a rider getting a pep talk before her "go" in a trail class.

This was one of those shots that just sort of happened. I was waiting for the sunset and saw "the man on the lonely rock" and took a few snaps.

Fell in love with the colors in this shot...if you wait long enough, the sky will change into a thousand different colors; better than any man-made light show in the world.

Had to wait for just the right moment for the light to be right to get this one...

Another one from a stormy day at the seacaves in Gazebo Cove :)

A precarious outing...dodging waves and hiding under cliffs during passing rain showers.

I caught this as an "outtake" shot, and I rather liked the sunflare in the image. Something a little bit different...

Just a little flower taking a little shower...

A last minute shot on the way up from an adventure...turned out to be one of my favorites.

Just a little snowflake and some bokeh :)

I always love the ornaments on my parent's Christmas Tree...this one provided just an amazing amount of fine and detailed bokeh!

The pink afterglow of the Eve before Christmas Eve.

I love how this wave broke just perfectly to almost frame the setting sun...

Just because this little picket fence was dressed up so cute for the holidays...

And the tide comes in and it goes back out...rhythmic and hypnotic, and yet one of earth's most powerful exhibitions.

My first attempt at long exposure.

The last of the blue hour being enjoyed by two little cowboys...only on the Central Coast of California :)

Just a little spot by the beach at sunset

The Pismo Beach Pier is officially lit with the annual Holiday Tree of lights...Christmas is on its way!

Every Christmas someone decorates this lonely tree on an otherwise uninhabited stretch of road. The other day I stopped to have a look.

One of the many perfectly decorated homes in the little Village of Arroyo Grande on California's Central Coast.

Smooth as Leizu's silk it was that day,
the day he emerged from the painted sea.
I watched his deep and delicate stride,
and quietly - like a child - I whispered
He has come for me...

The setting sun at Pismo Beach pier behind two surfers calling it a day.

Sunsets are beautiful, but I love catching interesting additions, like this surfer and the rays of sunlight coming through the pier.

An epic sunset in Pismo Beach, California this evening.

I pass this table on my way home almost every evening, and tonight I decided to stop and snap a shot of it as the sun was going down.

"I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew." -J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings. California Black Oak leaf located the the Big Stump Trail in Kings Canyon National Park.

The seasons, they change, like leaves fallen from trees ready for winter sleep...and so too is life, an ever changing thing.

Just some flowers...and a bee...

Even at the beginning of December, the flowers are blooming and the sky is blue...California beauty!

Even though I'm not "entering" the yellow challenge, here's a bit of yellow anyway :)

Wawona Tunnel is the longest highway tunnel in the state of California (length is 4,233 ft). It is one of three main roads which provide access to Yosemite Valley. The tunnel exits to one of the most stunning and most photographed views of Yosemite.

An "orchard of gold" from the Central Valley of California. The photo was taken between the towns of Sanger and Reedley which are located in Fresno County. Agriculture is the main industry of the Central Valley and stands in stark contrast to the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco. In 2014, Fresno County surpassed $7 Billion mark in gross value of all agricultural based commodities. Almonds, grapes, poultry and milk lead the agricultural values. In total Fresno County is home to 1.88 million acres of fertile farmland. Not only are the orchards beautiful during the fall, but are in full bloom during the spring.

Living in the country with the beach just over the hills...it's a wonderful life.

From a recent family shoot...the hands of a new family. For me, this depicts time in one of the most poignant ways.

Hidden amongst the trees is a walkway to another world...

Earlier this week I decided to take a trip to Sequoia National Park in California. I grew up close to both Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks and visited both parks several times a year. I picked a day in which the weather was unfortunately not the best for driving. But I was able to capture a this shot (edited with Lightroom CC).

Grant's Grove is host to a large grove of Giant Sequoias and each year millions of visitors from all over the world travel to see one of natures true wonders.

Sometimes "pieces" of a thing are more compelling than the whole... A misty day at Ragged Point, California.

Donated a 12x18 metal print of this image to a charity poker tournament for the local Food Bank - it got chosen by the first place winner! Feeling honored.

The littlest of things, the smallest of details, the imperfections and the overlooked incidentals...these are the things that make life interesting.

Pretty little blossom

I like to drive around my little area looking for interesting photo opportunities. I found this tree in front of a house out in the country and probably spent 10 minutes shooting the leaves, which were so beautifully interesting to me. This photograph has a fuzzy socks, warm coco, curl up on the couch with a good movie kind of feeling to me.

Beautiful blushing blossoms hidden along the roadside.
50mm 1.8 (gotta love this lens)

Despite the change in seasons, it's still sunny days that harken toward a feeling of summer here in California. What better way to enjoy the sunshine than on a trip up Highway 1 with the wind in your hair?

The clouds were absolutely awesome Tuesday. A left over storm was going up the west side of the Sierra and the wind was horrific.. Love clouds. I just increased the blue a bit..

Under the Bridge...err...Pier...

I really enjoyed taking this shot. The serenity and tranquility here just makes all your thoughts flow away.

Only 2 weeks in the California Central Valley Flowers last, mainly due to lack of rain and heat. During the wetter Spring's we have the number of weeks can be up to 5 weeks.

This where happy cows live.

Just another country road...somewhere in a dream, perhaps.

I love going out into the country and looking for interesting compositions. This one stuck out to me as I was driving down a dirt road toward the barn when I keep my horses.

Standing the test of time.

Another long exposure at Spyglass Beach in Pismo Beach, CA. I find the trick in getting a good long expo of the ocean is to really find strong foreground elements and to attempt to hit the shutter just as a wave is beginning to roll in - makes for more interesting water swirls around the rocks.

Long exposure at my favorite local beach. It's a climb to get down to the water, but it's worth it.
