Deadwood & Vultures
…Woodpeckers and Starling youngsters. Sycamore Grove has blessed me with many wonderful photo ops. This was again another early effort with the D850. Note: two of the images show the deadwood from opposite sides. One is almost directly into the sun (it’s in the upper right corner) and looks dark. The other looks almost washed…

DelValle Rises and Holdener goes dark
…sunrises on Del Valle’s hills …Clouds and haze fall on Holdener The cover photo is from Holdener. The girls stopped dead in their tracks and then circled around something in the trail. My first Tarantula up close and personal. It just sat and waited for me to leave. I was maybe a foot from it…

An end to film
2018 was a transition period for me. When I’d finished the B&W portion of my photography education. It was time to put the old Nikon F5 35mm Film camera away as I dove into the world of Digital Photography. I wanted to continue with the film camera but film was expensive. Developing B&W was relatively…

The right coast
… otherwise known as the Atlantic. In late 2022, I made a trip east to be with my family after a loss. This part of the clan hails from Maine. I spent several days there, and after my brother’s funeral, I needed some time to decompress. I knew I would, and I know the best…

Romancing the PCH
…we fell in love at first sight. I’ve written about and posted photos of the PCH many times. It has come as a great source of calming exercises. Not just the creating part, but the physical part – being there. Just to reiterate… If the woods are where I go to lose my mind, it’s…

Yerba Buena Island
…& Treasure Island. Eureka! Yesterday I took the plunge. I made a Photo Trip to The Island between Oakland and San Francisco. Yerba Buena is the original island. Treasure Island was created to facilitate the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition. The man-made island has been repurposed several times since and is undergoing some radical changes…

Hayward Regional Shoreline #1
I haven’t found that later episode yet. I did find this one which was made before the last one. So the last one was last, and this one, the second one, is first. Erm…never mind. There were a few more critters here this time. But conditions weren’t much better. I need to correct my earlier…

Hayward Regional Shoreline
This was my first visit here. Wrong season. Wrong time of day. The sun was brutal, and there weren’t many critters around. I did get some. I tried to capture the Dunbarton Bridge several times, but I couldn’t get around the sun. I came back again later in the season and later in the day.…

Back to Sycamore Grove
No dogs, but still a great place to hike. If your furbaby is okay with the leash in the wide open, then this is a great place for that too. It’s a worthy photo spot. Many a wedding Photographer has plied their trade here. There is an extra fee if you’re a pro. This is…

Shadow Cliffs
…an East Bay Regional Park. As I’ve written before, this is a favorite spot for the dogs. They get to run free to their hearts content. They are good enough so I can make images while they explore and play. I still have an eye out for them. Shea likes to jump up to say…
