It was a great spring for wildflowers here in California this year. Not only did the desert have a beautiful bloom, but the coast was very pretty as well.

I took this photograph earlier this week in Oregon. It’s a little tricky, in an image like this, to get the exposure right above and below the water at the same time. I had the camera in the water with the water surface right in the middle of the lens. The water level is also constantly changing as the water flows around the camera, so there is lot of trial and error involved with getting a nice perspective both above and below. I like the way the light on the bubble filled waterfall made the water glow.

These are native cutthroat trout that I photographed near an alpine lake in the Sierra Nevada mountains. The lake is at an elevation of about 10,000 ft. For about 2 miles upstream of the lake was a beautiful wetland of meandering streams and small crystal clear ponds. Many of the Sierra alpine lakes are slowly fed clean water all summer from winter snow melt. The water in many of the lakes is super clear and quite cold.

Some wildflower photos tonight. It always surprises me the little bits of bright color you can find in nature.

Some aerial photos tonight. I feel like everything seems simpler from far away. I always love the vantage from above.
