I've seen the wild iris plants before but have never been
there when they were blooming, they're actually everywhere.





Go, See, Enjoy.

Went to the Fresno Chaffee Zoo the other night with Friedhelm and Nancy to view the LUMINATURE exhibits. I was very pleasantly surprised. I didn't know what to expect but this was a really great outing. I won't comment on the individual images since I think they pretty much speak for themselves. And there's a lot of them!!   Go, See, Enjoy, Stay Safe and Photograph Dave

Yosemite in November

 Went to Yosemite the other day. Really wasn't expecting much in the way of fall colors but was pleasantly surprised. I decided not to concentrate on the iconic features such as Half Dome and El Capitan, with one exception as you will see. I was surprised to see these wild grapes along the side of the road, even more surprised the deer hadn't eaten them. In Yosemite everywhere you look is pretty magnificent. Trouble is sometimes we only focus on the iconic scenes. Sometimes you look up. Sometimes you look down. This butterfly was very cooperative, or maybe just tired.

Angels Camp Museum

 Last week I took a trip to the Angels Camp Museum. Angels Camp is known for the 'Jumping Frog Jubilee'.

Kinda looks like monster teeth but is actually a drill bit for hard rock mining. Who can resist a old set of boots. Photographically anyway. Well worn grinding stone. I took this photo in an area that is not generally open to the public, yet. It was slow so the docent let me in and gave a great presentation of the various articles. Yup, more gears One of many lamps. There were several spittoons. This one is actually from the San Andreas Courthouse Museum. I got there just before closing. Another place I'll have to revisit. Also one of my favorite images. Go, See, Enjoy, Stay Safe and Photograph Dave
