Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park
Another pic today from Stout Grove, one of my favorite places on the planet.
Pelican Bay
Pelican Bay is most famous for its prison, but just a couple miles from the prison, on Pelican Bay itself, is a decent beach. And, yes, that is a pelican in the distance.
Stop and enjoy the Milky Way
On my way back from Sacramento I pulled off of I-5 somewhere between Dunsmuir and Weed to pee. I looked up at the beautiful Milky Way and decided a photo was needed. So I opened my shutter while doing my business and this pic was the result.
I’ll be posting photos from the Death Angel, Testament, and Anthrax show on my other blog over the next little while.
Cycle Oregon
Yesterday afternoon while taking my daily bike ride I couldn’t help but notice the thousands of tents being set up on the Iowa Street softball fields. I decided to go back last night to see what Cycle Oregon’s visit to Ashland would look like under the stars.
September morning
Today’s photo is of the most common view on this blog, out my window. It has been many months since I’ve taken a pic from this location. The view has been rather boring this summer with endless days of either blue or smoky skies. But yesterday the sunrise was rather nice with the smoke (from the Goff (aka Fort Complex) Fire that has been burning thousands of acres in the Applegate for over a month now) mostly gone and some interesting clouds.
Brandi Carlile @ Britt with a Blue Moon
Every once in a blue moon a night can be very special AND feature an actual blue moon. No, the color of the moon wasn’t blue (although I took this photo when blue light from the stage was bathing the audience). But on August 31, 2012, when Brandi Carlile played at Britt Festivals in Jacksonville, we had our second full moon of the month which is what a blue moon is. The next calendar blue moon won’t be until July of 2015. Hopefully Brandi will be back at Britt on that evening too.
Stout Grove
We went to the coast this past weekend and stopped in Stout Grove in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, part of California Redwood National Park, along the way. I never tire of this place even though I’ve been there many times now.
Silverado Championship Golf Resort
Photographers often talk of the “blue hour” after the sun sets when the sky can appear a wonderful shade of blue if you leave your shutter open long enough. The blue hour can happen in the morning as well, before the sun rises, as you can see in this photo that I took earlier this year at about 5:30 in the morning in Napa, California.
Descending from Castle Peak
During our only full day at Lake Siskiyou we drove about 8 miles to Castle Lake (elevation 5436 feet). From there we went on a 5-mile (or so) hike to Heart Lake (elevation 6035 feet) and then above it to Castle Peak (elevation 6617 feet). The views are best from Heart Lake and above Heart Lake on Castle Peak where you can see the lakes, Mt. Shasta, Castle Crags and a lovely 360 degrees of wilderness. Today’s photo isn’t from the top though. The lakes are obscured by trees, but you can see Black Butte and Mt. Shasta, as well as some of my hiking party.
