Walnut Grove, Ca Sunsets

I love sunset. I have never been a morning person so I don't have many sunrises in my portfolio. So here is a sunset that I just came across that I had never edited before. These two images were taken within 10 minutes of each other. Amazing what some clouds can do for a picture. 

Road Trip

I was lucky enough to have 4 days off over this Labor Day Weekend and took advantage of it. We decided to pack up the convertible and head for the California and Oregon coast. Wow we were so fortunate to have the most gorgeous weather. We stayed 3 nights on the coast, one in California at Pt Arena where we visited the B Bryan Preserve. Great place to see some beautiful zebras, giraffes and antelope. These are some of the shots from Day 1. 

Sunsets and Sunrise

 Sunsets and Sunrise

I love shooting at sunset and sunrise. Although I am not a morning person so sadly there is only one sunrise in these shots. It is amazing how sunsets are never the same. I think if I shot 365 sunsets and maybe 1 sunrise a year they would all be totally different. I love when there is a storm coming near sunset, clouds can turn any picture pretty in my opinion.

Shooting stuff with my Canon :)

Went for a drive looking for something to shoot with my Canon.  We are living in the heartland of a huge wine industry and the grapes are abundant right now. Also I knew by the clouds out today that there was a chance of a great sunset. So we drove around looking for a good spot. This is what I came up with.

Stuck in Lodi again....................

Stuck in Lodi

Well we aren't really stuck but I love the old CCR song. We moved to Lodi in January after living in the foothills for 32 years. I must say we have adapted nicely. It is nice living so close to my kids, work, sister and not to mention conveniences. As a photographer it is nice being somewhere different with different picture opportunities, and I have found many right here in Lodi. I love living near all the vineyards, I find great beauty in them. So here are a few of my Lodi pictures.

Sunset in Lodi, Ca.

I am now residing in the town of Lodi, Ca. I love sunset and have many in my portfolio. This is my favorite picture I have taken since moving to Lodi in January. I am in love with clouds in my pictures any  size, shape or form. I really feel they give a new element to a scene.

Lake Tahoe

Lake Tahoe is one of my favorite places to go. This shot of Emerald Bay is one of the view sunrise pictures in my portfolio. I am not much of a morning person. But I did get up for this shot and am glad I did. The pier picture is of the longest private pier at Lake Tahoe, I love clouds in my pictures and I was quite fortunate to get them in the pier picture and the shot at Sand Harbor, the last picture is also Sand Harbor but for a sunset shot.
