I like the quiet scenes. I enjoy taking nature/landscape photos and viewing those from others. Most of my photos are from Southern California and nearby areas. Also here for news and current events, minus the misinformation. www.tlephotography.com

“The beautiful scene was silent and still— My heart was at rest, I was conscious only of this.” Matsuo Bashō (1644-1694) Japanese poet-saint and a lay Zen monk. #lines #ir #classicmono #infrared #eastcoastkin #blueskyartday #photography

Comet Neowise with the Big Dipper from Joshua Tree National Park. This is back in the year 2020, which doesn't seem like such a bad time now in comparison. #landscapephotography #joshuatreenationalpark

Wonderful image. It’s hard not to react to all the awfulness when you have empathy for others.

An image from one of the best snow days I've experienced in Joshua Tree National Park. I was postholing in 1-2 ft of snow in certain areas. I also saw snow at the park 2 weeks ago, not quite as impressive, but nice to see the rare scene. #landscapephotography #joshuatreenationalpark

A reminder in dark times: kindness, mercy, decency, and respect towards the least of us enrages Trumpists. It burns them. It’s like a mirror that shows them how they fall short of humanity. Kindness and decency towards the people Trumpists hate is not just right; it torments Trumpists.

Public lands celebration #4: National Wildlife Refuges! Some are tiny, some are huge; some are next to cities, some remote; some heavily managed, some wild; some watery, some desert. But they're all worth caring about. #landscapephotography #publiclands #wildliferefuge #usfws #keepitpublic
Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, NM. A large flock of snow geese sits in a green field. Behind them is a line of winter trees and a flock of sandhill cranes flying in to land. Behind that is a bank of low-lying misty cloud, then a dark desert mountain ridge, then a sky of winter cumulus.Desert National Wildlife Refuge, NV: Low angle golden sunlight reveals the textures of a vast desert landscape with many layers of barren, intricately eroded hills and mountains stretching into blue distance, under a sky of both somber blue and pale yellow clouds.Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge, ID: Marshy wetlands on a flat valley floor contain a pool of water interrupted by grasses. Further back are a number of golden autumn cottonwood trees, some of which are reflected in the pool. Dark confers dominate a ridge on the left, while to the right we see the valley stretch towards a steep blue mountain in the distance.Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge, NV: A range of treeless mountains whose upper slopes are white with snow catches orange/pink sunset light. A small group of clouds just above the mountains is also illuminated orange and pink, while above is a light blue sky. Below the mountains we see an extensive marsh with abundant grass and some open water, which is reflecting the sunset clouds.

Some rain in recent days and I'll be heading out to the desert soon. Reminds me of another time when a thunderstorm swept through Joshua Tree NP and put up quite a show for hours. #landscapephotography

Early morning in Yosemite Valley. I got to this area after I calmly (as much as I can muster) walked past a group of 3 black bears trying to break into a trashcan. We looked at each other briefly then went about our business.

A warm sunset on an otherwise cold night in the Sierra. #landscapephotography
Sunset with yellow/orange clouds overhead and a jagged mountain range in the background.  A creek in the foreground has reflections of partially submerged rocks and the warm cloudy skies.

Reading news reporting this past week has been especially enraging. I need a temporary distraction of calmer times to keep my sanity.

Wandering the sand dunes of Death Valley NP has been a favorite activity of mine any time I visit the park. #landscapephotography

It was good to know from a recent post that it also sucks with basic math. It answered “no” when asked if 3/8 was larger than 5/16.

Wishing all a wonderful, stress-free holiday season among beloved family and friends and maybe not so beloved but hopefully tolerable in small doses. This image is from my first winter trip to Bryce Canyon.

My first trip to Yosemite, a backpacking trip, was an awe-inspiring experience. My first winter trip there was a completely different, but still amazing experience that will stay with me for quite a while. The image below is from that trip. #landscapephotography
A black and white image with broken sheets of ice in the foreground ,in a partially frozen river leading to a strand of trees and a tall waterfall cascading over large granite rock formations.
