Surfing Carmel-by-the-Sea
Last December we headed south for our winter break. On our way back from Santa Barbara we watched the sun set in Carmel on an incredibly warm day-after-Christmas evening.
My 24-120mm f/4 Nikkor lens is a great travel lens, but on this evening I wished I had brought along something longer.

Flying over Lake Shasta
Shasta Lake from the air
The last time we drove past Lake Shasta (last month) there wasn’t much water in it. Today’s photo is from late last May when it was near capacity. Hopefully there will be some rain (and snow on Mt. Shasta) soon or California’s largest reservoir will be mostly dry.

Ryan is a senior in high school this year so we have been touring campuses for a few years now. He has pretty much narrowed down his choices to a couple of schools in Oregon (which he has also been accepted into). But while in Santa Barbara, why not check one of the few universities situated next to a beach?
You can’t really see the UCSB buildings on the campus in this photo although they are just to the right. The UCSB Lagoon is literally a stone’s throw from where I took this. Ryan can be seen walking in the upper right portion of this image.
