Pfieffer and Julia Pfieffer Burns State Parks

By -
 Took a trip to the coast a couple of days ago. Originally planned on
photographing around the Monterey, Point Lobos area but the traffic and
crowds were horrendous.

So I continued down the coast to the Big Sur area. No beach visits but great
hikes and my kind of country, forests.


This butterfly finally cooperated and stay in one place for a few seconds



The feather on the clover just appealed to me for some reason.



There were a few flowers, some easier to spot than others, especially

Another patient insect.






This is a famous waterfall at Julia Pfieffer Burns State Park
 because it empties into the Pacific Ocean






If you go to the other side of the parking lot and follow the Canyon Trail...





Go, See, Enjoy, Stay Safe and Photograph

During my recent trip to the east side of the Sierras I of course visited  Mono Lake. It's been almost 2 years since I've been in the area and was happy to see the lake has risen quite a bit.

Mono lake is about 45' below its historic levels due to the Los Angeles Department of Water diverting the normal creek inflow into the lake. An agreement was reached  in the 70's to restore the lake level to about 20' below historic levels. Very slowly, with drought years intervening, that seems to be happening.

With the wind making the water a little choppy I didn't get the wonderful reflections the Tufas can offer. But there were some other oppo

  My brother and I took a quick trip to Ely Nevada to visit the Nevada Northern Railway. A long drive there but well worth the trip. Three of the Iconic structures are the Coaling Tower, the Water Tower and Water Spout. Unfortunately only the Water Spout in the foreground actually is in working order. We were lucky, of the three steam locomotives only #93 was working.  The others were in the shop being worked on.  A week or so after we left #93 went down as well. Minor problems but we lucked out Hey, I like doors and I can't resist an old red one, on an old red building The sun was quite bright and allowed me to just catch the top rims of  these wheels They're very accommodating at the shop and allow you to walk around. This Steam Wrecking Crane works and they use it when necessary.   Just some of the many containers used in the shop. More shop stuff, I just liked the way the light hit this table This is one of the smaller lathes. They have one they can turn RR car wheels on. N
