Napa Mill II

I went out early in the morning to Napa and arrived just after sunrise. This building caught my eye.
The Napa Mill has been around since 1884.
I really like how the building stands tall in comparison to all the other buildings in the area. The atmosphere surrounding the building is very artistic with the Napa River on one side, Downtown Napa on the other.

Grape Vine Burst

This image was created by focusing in on the purple leaf, setting the exposure for a longer than normal exposure and then zooming out while the shutter was released creating the burst affect. Taken while walking through the vineyards at GV Cellars.

Santa Monica Pier

This image was taken from the beach of Santa Monica. I'm guessing the rubber around the pilons is there to protect surfers as they slalom between them.
There are two things that I do really like though about Southern California and that is the weather and the beaches.
I love the beach for one and playing in the waves is fun.

Fruit of the Vine

Living in Northern California to me is a wonderful experience living so close to so many world class vineyards and wineries.
Being able to see the growing season go through all the cycles is really a treat.
In the fall the leaves start changing color and the grapes get a nice rich purple color. The wineries start teaming with activity. This image was captured just before the harvest.

California Sunflower

What could be happier than a California sunflower soaking up the California sun. I saw this sunflower at a local winery and thought I would dress it up with a pair of sunglasses. This was done to project the mood I was in after tasting a couple of delicious red wines. I was feeling a little whimsical and I hope that this sunflower reflects this.

Harbor Springs Michigan

Harbor Springs, Michigan is a beautiful little resort town south of the Mackinaw Bridge at the northern part of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. The town is sheltered by Little Traverse Bay on the shores of Lake MIchigan. The town gets its name from the natural springs that flow into the harbor.

Winter at Yosemite Falls

As I've written about in many of my images Yosemite National Park is truly one of the most magical places on earth in my humble opinion. Yosemite Falls s the center piece of Yosemite Valley being the tallest waterfall in North America and the 2nd tallest in the world.
This image was captured after a late winter storm passed through the valley.

Half Dome Winter

There are few places in Yosemite Valley where you can't look up and have a view of Half Dome.
This image was captured from the meadow just west of Yosemite Falls and South of Half Dome. From this location you have a clear view of Yosemite Falls, Glacier Point, and Half Dome.
The fresh layer of snow on the tree branches shows that this is a fresh snow. I do hope you enjoy it.
