Evening at Point Piedras Blancas

Last week I caught some perfect evening light as the sun dropped below the offshore fog bank.

Springtime is cute time

Sometimes I can't help myself. Spring hits and when I go outside all I hear is birds calling for mates, bees swarming to new hives, and I see flowers blooming like crazy. And this year I have noticed everyone got into the season. I won't apologize for the sappy cuteness and spring fever pitch of these, they're merely observations.

Point Reyes Seashore

I had never been to the Point Reyes area, and spent just two days there, mostly in and around Point Reyes Station, Inverness, and Tomales Bay. Miles of open space and gorgeous views.
Here are a few images:

Morning Light in San Simeon

I just finished reviewing images for a slideshow on Nepal at the immense iWerks theater at Hearst Castle VC. scheduled for March 1st. Driving South from San Simeon a storm was passing through and the light was perfect along the coast.

Sunset Season

The Winter season always brings phenomenal colors and clouds to our coast. First a series from Santa Rosa Creek at Moonstone Beach and East West Ranch over several evenings. Then some from Estero Bay, midday and sunset.
