Twightlight on the Kuna Crest
With sunset now behind the mountains, I focused my attention to the small strip of pastel colors right above the Kuna Crest. I was a little annoyed on the first image because somebody left their lights on. I waited for a few minutes with no luck (he was about 1/2 mile away), so I took [...]
Sunset Over Tioga Lake
Well, here’s a few more pictures from my latest trip to Yosemite. I noticed a few clouds starting to form and was hoping they would be close enough to Mammoth Peak to photograph. That never panned out, so I switched to my wide angle lens (17-40) to capture sunset over Tioga Lake. Hope you like [...]
Mammoth Peak Near Sunset
I kept looking towards Mono Lake and started seeing some pretty colors in the sky, but by that time (8:15), it was too late to drive to a new location. The peaks started to change colors a bit and I noticed a few clouds were starting to flow towards my location! I just hoped the [...]
Frozen Tioga Lake
While I was photographing Mammoth Peak from Tioga Lake last Monday, I decided to try some abstract/close-up photos. The first one really stuck me because of the light reflecting (slightly) on the melting snow. Since I was staring at Mammoth Peak, I just had to take some pictures of the floating ice. You can see [...]
Black Phoebe
A few months ago I saw a pair of Black Phoebes hanging around my backyard habitat, but they never got close enough to take a decent picture. I saw them yesterday hanging around near the back porch and on top of the pool. I put a stick in grass a within an hour I had [...]
Mammoth Peak from Tioga Lake
Since my family didn’t want to stay in the park while I took photos at sunset (and beyond), I dropped them off at the motel in Lee Vining, ate dinner, and drove back to the park. I decided to stay just shy of Tioga Pass, right here at Tioga Lake. I thought about walking (climbing) [...]
Snow in June!
Since Tioga Pass opened last weekend, it’s time for my annual “Go to the Snow and Take Some Pictures Before the Snow Melts”, trip. I also wanted to take the kids up to the high country too, so my wife booked a room in Lee Vining for Monday night. We made a leisurely drive through [...]
The ACBC Picnic 2010
Our church, Atwater Community Bible Church, had their annual picnic this past Sunday. We all had a great time. For some reason, I’m not able to upload the pictures to the church’s database, so here’s a few family pictures…
I post all of my new nature pictures, random thoughts, and even my family pictures here. Some of those pictures never get posted to my
