Today, the last series of images from my trek up Mt Konocti last May. I do still have a few photos I’m not including because they’re very similar and/or because I would have to extend the series. And I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to move on to other topics! I’ll most likely share those images at a […]
Whenever we spend a few days at Clear Lake and stay along the northeast shore in Nice, I usually feel the urge to take a walk up and down the short stretch of Lakeshore Boulevard behind the Worldmark hotel property. Over the years I’ve done this quite a few times, and it’s been interesting to see that for the most […]
As I trudged up the trail at Mt. Konocti one day last May, more than a few times I had to remind myself that I had chosen to be there and that I was actually having FUN! It shouldn’t be too surprising that climbing to Buckingham Peak (3,952 feet/1,204 meters) is hard work; for me, at least, it’s one of […]
Back in May 2010 we spent a quiet week with my in-laws at Clear Lake, fishing and relaxing at a relatively small motel on Soda Bay known then as the Ferndale Resort. It was nothing fancy but was a nice, comfortable place, with a string of guest rooms and one or two single-wide mobile homes available for those who didn’t […]

It’s been an interesting spring, and I’ve been shooting a lot of pictures. So sometimes it’s nice to go back a bit and share some of the images that I may have overlooked the first time around. Even the ones that aren’t so great have good memories attached to them. I shot these photos with my 600mm lens at Clear […]
Long before I bought my current outfit and began trying to photograph birds and other wildlife, I learned from watching nature documentaries that the best photos are usually the product of hours and hours of patient waiting and often hundreds of lousy shots. It’s all too easy to forget that important lesson when you see all the great images shared […]
