Yosemite and More

I grew up in Northern California, no not Sacramento or San Francisco, those are in Central California. Anyone from where I grew up would tell you Northern California starts a little below Red Bluff. Anyway.....I took a trip up to see my brother who lives in Mt. Shasta. While on the way up, back and there I had a little time to photograph. It has been many years since I drove out Highway 299 to the Big Valley area. Along the way I spotted this horse and cows in a field, stopped and just enjoyed the peacefulness in these uneasy times. How peaceful? Well I was able to literally stop in the middle of the road to take the photograph above and the one following. The next one is heavily cropped. The Ruffed Legged Hawk was quite a ways away, but I caught it hovering in the wind before it lunged and got some critter. On one of the side roads I came across this beautiful little church. Now known as the Glenburn Community Church is was originally the Burgettville Church and built in 1885. As I me...

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 the place for you. If hiking or even getting out of your car isn't for you just drive down Highway 395 or the June Lake Loop. Or Power House Road June Lake Loop While looking for more color to shoot we came across these horses, actually the were a lot more, a whole lot more. Such a peaceful scene. I liked the various layers of color. Not a bad place to go fishing. Go, See, Enjoy, Photograph Dave
