I’m back after spending a couple of weeks in Costa Rica. While Costa Rica is a small country, there is tons to see there thanks to their incredibly rich biodiversity. The statistic I read is that Costa Rica has 0.1% of the total land found on Earth, but is home to 5% of all species known worldwide. That’s quite an amazing statistic when you think about it. While this rainbow photo doesn’t reflect Co

This week has been super hectic as I ramp up to hit the road.  While its cliché to say “I could make use of more time”, it is true. I think I could keep myself busy non-stop with 48 hour days. That being said I’ve found that my push to make the most of my time has resulted in an unexpected side effect… or for the mathematically inclined axiom. The more you squeeze into your day the faster time

To most this will seem to be a rather ordinary photo, but for those familiar with the Farallon Islands you’ll find this photo amazing… and no this wasn’t the result of Photoshop wizardry. The Farallones are 27 miles off the coast of San Francisco and normally cannot be seen as they’re often concealed behind a shroud of fog.

Sea Otter and Sleeping Pup (Enhydra lutris) The innocence of youth California Sea Otter style. This very young pup seemed to have found a save and comfy spot to sleep on a cold morning in Monterey, California. It’s always impressive to see how strong the mothering instincts are for Sea Otters.

Conservatory of Flowers Valentines Day Lighting in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco It’s been a while since I’ve photographed the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park, but this past Valentines Day I was able to stop by and was pleasantly surprised to see the dome of the building glowing a fitting color. I wonder if they’ll make lighting of the dome a regular occurance like the lighting of the

This photo could sum up the past couple of weeks nicely. Life has been coming at me fast and furious as of late. Taxes, a variety of projects and recently my dog Moe (dressed as Batdog) having some unexplained seizures. All is well with Moe fortunately, but I’m keeping an eye on him. Other than being severely sleep deprived staying up with him late at night… we’re both faring well. The same could be

Tuesday evening began with a beautiful moonrise here in San Francisco. For once I was available to take advantage of this event and the weather was nice enough to get out to try and photograph the moonrise over downtown. For the astronomy inclined I found out this wasn’t the right time of year for the photo I wanted, but before I realized this I crossed paths with two local photographers. First while setting up

Now that California is getting some much needed rain and snow I’m excited to see how this Spring turns out. More immediately I’m eager to find the time to make my way back to Yosemite valley while snowy conditions are still around. It seems I can never get enough of photographing Yosemite National Park. I suppose there is nothing surprising about that. Speaking of surprises… Bridalveil Fall After A
