East Side Color

I went to the East Side of the Sierra's
with some friends for a couple of days.

We hit the fall colors just right. There are always parts that are
past, not yet and just right. We hit a lot of just right.
If you want to go, go now!

I had trouble deciding what to post, as the saying goes
"a target rich environment".

We met at the Silver Lake Resort. This is a little pond
behind the store/cafe. If you like ducks this is

I liked the various layers of color.

Foothill Wildflowers

I've been pretty lazy lately when it comes to editing photos. I have more from my trip to McCloud but in the meantime I'm posting some from a recent outing to the Central California Foothills near Sonora. This gave me a good opportunity to use my new Tokina 100mm Macro lens.  The wildflowers this year were somewhat disappointing, too much rain I guess. I thought it would be just the opposite The first up is of course a California Golden Poppy. All the photos I'm posting today are with the macro, except one. This flower surprised me. I don't think I have ever seen it before. I was luck with my flower guide because I opened it randomly to the right page. These I couldn't find in my guide. And last but not least. When I first saw this insect I thought it was a tiny bee. But looking closer I think it is actually a tiny wasp.  Go, See, Enjoy, Photograph Dave
