#BighornSheep, #PalmDesert, #California

I visit Palm Desert every year and always take a Saturday guided nature walk from the San Jacinto Nature Center. On rare occasions we can spot one of these wild sheep. This time I was able to catch him posing in the sunlight.

Alone, #SunolRegionalPark, #California

I came upon this tree while hiking. It gives the impression of grandeur and age and sadness. It must have been impressive in its glory years.

The grounds at Glenmont Estate are elegantly maintained and promote a quiet walk around manicured lawns and gardens. This greenhouse is still used by staff as if Edison were still in residence.

Every winter ladybugs congregate in Oakland's redwood forest. It is quite a sight to behold; a moving mass of orange and black.

This park has so many beautiful locales that it's hard to pick just one. These trees can take on many forms from grotesquely formed to elegantly poised.

#Winter #Beach, #StinsonBeach, #California

On my way home from Pt. Reyes in the late afternoon brought me to this vista of a deserted beach with moody lighting. I get a sense of calm whenever I contemplate this image. Enjoy.

Broken #Gate, #GrassValley, #California

I walk here every morning that I'm in Grass Valley. It's a peaceful rural road with little traffic and wonderful morning light. I've shot at this spot many times and each time is a little different.
