Tuolumne Meadows Panoramic View
Still processing my pictures from Wednesday’s adventure. While I was there I decided to try and take a panoramic photo. I don’t own a Panoramic Head, so my pano has some parallax. So be it, it’s still kind of cool! This is 6 pictures, in portrait format and stitched together by hand using CS2. Full [...]
A Day in Yosemite
Found out that Tioga Pass opened last week, so had to get up there before the snow melted. It was a nice trip. This was my first solo trip to Yosemite since my surgeries a few years ago. I met a couple of photographers; Harvey, Randal and Randal’s wife (sorry I can’t remember your name). [...]
Frog Town
Went for a day trip to Calaveras County to the annual “Frog Town – Jumping Frog Jubilee” yesterday. Didn’t take any photos of the frog jumping festivities as that event was later in the weekend, besides the kids were more interested in the rides… Mommy and Sarah Hannah Sarah Tweet
Where Did April Go?
It’s almost May and I haven’t posted anything since March. My computer was out of commission for almost two weeks so I guess that’s a good excuse. I’ve been having fun taking pictures of the various songbirds in the back yard. The Juncos and White-crowned Sparrows have left, but I’m seeing new birds too…so it’s [...]
A Great Week!
It’s been a great week for me. I had my 1-year check-up since the doctors fused my left leg (Arthrodesis) at Stanford Hospital. They told me everything was great and unless I just wanted to go back…just to update the family….I’m now free and clear. After nearly 4 years of countless appointments/hospitalizations, I’m done! I’ve [...]
A Hummingbird?
Not sure what kind of Hummingbird this is. I was sitting down drinking my coffee this morning and I saw this Orange-crowned Warbler trying to use my hummingbird feeder. Lucky for my, my camera was near. I also shot this through the sliding glass window. I didn’t want to risk opening the window and flying [...]
Random Pictures from the Merced NWR
Took another trip out to the Merced NWR on Wednesday afternoon. The water is receding, but there’s still lots of shorebirds to see. “Squirrel on a Stick” “Striking a Pose” “White-faced Ibis” “Drifting Clouds” Tweet
Yosemite Valley from Denair, CA
Who knew?!? I didn’t think it was possible to see Yosemite Valley from the central valley, but I was wrong…first time for everything ! Thanks to Tony Immoos (and others) I finally got a decent picture of Yosemite Valley (Half Dome, Clouds Rest etc) from Hall Road in Denair California, over 60 miles away. Thanks [...]
Dark-eyed “Oregon” Junco Today
Went out to the backyard this afternoon and I was able to get a few pictures of the Dark-eyed Junco A.K.A “Oregon Junco”…my favorite little birds! I usually set-up my camera in my “studio”….nice green grass and perch. As I was sitting here, I saw this gal in the grape vines…so I quickly swung around [...]
Killing Time at the Merced NWR
Both of my daughters had their gymnastics practice a few days ago. This time instead of sitting and watching for 4 hours, I decided to take a drive out to the Merced National Wildlife Refuge and see if I could take some pictures at sunset. Here’s my two favorites… Tweet
