Tree frog. They love my shallow dish bird bath and sing beautifully on warm summer nights.

Snoozing seals at low tide on the southern Oregon coast
Sheltered behind a large monolith just off the tide line, six seals sleep on a flat rock at low tide.

A couple days before full moon in Death Valley NP (California), the moon rises in the eastern sky at 1:30pm. Not a "night" shot. 720nm infrared converted to black-and-white.

Always in awe of plants that seem to be growing out of rocks. The ancient granite monoliths of Joshua Tree National Park (southern California) draw me back year after year. B+W 720nm infrared.

While joshua trees are common in Joshua Tree National Park, other tree types are scarce so when I find them, I love to make their portrait. 720nm infrared converted to B&W.

A favorite from the May 2004 photo archives. A close-up shot of local pond lilies processed to resemble a painting.

Took a trip to northern California in May this year to walk amongst the giant redwood trees. Early morning fog makes the experience even more special.

This is the last plant in my deck garden of potted perennials to bloom. It happens in late September and the bumblebees love it. I think the plant is sedum also called stonecrop.

Started as a photo but after processing hoped to make it look like a painting. My sister got my Mom’s painting gene. I didn’t but chose photography instead.
