Yosemite and More

 Went to some antique stores in Clovis California the other day. Lots of  nostalgia there. Here are some of my takeaways that have nothing about nostalgia. Go, See. Enjoy, Stay Safe and Photograph. Dave

 I was lucky enough to be able to go to Yosemite the other day, just after the first snow.  There wasn't much, a few inches, but Yosemite and Snow, you gotta love it.

Went to the Eastern Sierras the other day. Our goal was the Chemung Mine. There was also a lot more to photograph. I changed some to Black and White, like you wouldn't notice that.   The contrast of the Aspens and old mining equipment caught my eye. Most of the Aspens were already leafless,  but still photogenic. After the Chemung we went to the Masonic Mine, not nearly as many relics there. But since it was a little chilly the nearby creek provided some nice crystal shots. Maybe a road we'll take next time.  Go, See, Enjoy, Stay Safe and Photograph. Dave

 Went to the Mt. Shasta area a while back and came back with a few Fall photos. Go, See, Enjoy, Stay Safe and Photograph Dave

 A bunch of us went up Highway 108 in search of fall colors and the turning of the Aspen Leaves. I found a lot of interesting things to photograph, even a few Aspens. We'll start out with some Aspens, these are in no particular order At first I thought this might be a butterfly, but the antennae says it's a moth. Did you know that the Sierra Nevada's have fireflies. I didn't. The Oaks were also full of color Who doesn't like backlit Aspens I didn't title some of the flora. I spent a lot of time looking up names,  much to no avail. I spotted this single leaf on a fir branch I liked how the fallen tree led your eye to the one growing on the hillside. And one last photo of the Aspens, note the snow on the hillside. Go, See, Enjoy, Stay Safe and Photograph Dave
