Open wide
The water level is low; the people are few and far between; and if you keep your eyes open, you never know what you might see.
CFFC: Leaves and Trees
I haven’t participated in Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge for awhile, but I’ve missed it a lot, so here’s my entry for this week’s challenge: Leaves and Trees.
Alien worlds
There’s a weird sort of beauty about Folsom Lake in the winter, when the water levels drop.

I’ve been out to the Rattlesnake Bar area many times in the past, […]
The Adventure Continues… Alaska: Dyea

Rocks and foam
More images from the south end of Gerstle Cove in Salt Point State Park. Tafoni is a familiar feature of the sandstone in and around Salt Point.
