Sonoma County hillside
I took this shot back in April. It’s a view of what I see every day during the last leg of my commute home. The grass will grow longer and turn brown by June, and the deciduous oaks will fill … Continue reading
Solar drying in early January
It’s early January and warm in Northern California. It was 69 degrees fahrenheit in the shade on the patio at 3:00 PM this afternoon. Weird! This is a “Nifty Fifty” bokeh shot of my clothes drying on the clothes line. … Continue reading
Two trees revisited
I took this shot almost exactly a year ago and posted it with two others of the same hillside as a series in black and white. This one I always liked the best so a while back I decided to … Continue reading
Warm winter sheep and pigs
After a lazy holiday week off, I was back on the commute roads today looking for photo opportunities. I had already stopped at the Golden Gate Bridge and taken some shots, but it was so nice out I decided to … Continue reading

September dryness
Approaching mid September in Sonoma County, California. No clouds (other than fog), and no rain for months. The California Live Oak thrives during these long, dry summers. They are everywhere along the last 15 miles of my commute home. I … Continue reading
