Shasta Valley Dusk
ISO 2000, 300mm, f/4.0, 1/1600sec Tuesday afternoon I was supposed to referee the Yreka High School boys and girls soccer games. Unfortunately at the last-minute their games were rescheduled.

Maroon Bells Aspen
ISO 250, 24mm, f/4.0, 1/1600sec Taunya and I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Aspen Colorado and to drive up to Maroon Bells.

Lower Klamath NWR Part 2
Here are the rest of the photographs from my photography trip over to the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge on Labor Day. I love these Blue Herons. They are difficult to photograph because of their shy nature. It’s impossible to get close to them with out them flying off. Nice photograph of the north face of …
South Willow Lake Hike
Because I took so many photographs on this hike I separated them into two posts. The previous post of the wildflowers and this post which includes the landscapes and the family hiking. For all of these photographs I was using the 24-120mm f/4 lens with a circular polarizing filter. I have found with my landscape photography I use the …
South Willow Lake Flowers

Faery Falls and Ney Springs
Last Saturday, the 22nd I took a trip down to the Faery Falls and the ruins of Ney Springs resort. This waterfall and ruins are on the way to Castle Lake which I also had on the to do list for the day. If there was time, and there was, to hike up to Heart …

24mm ISO 100 f/6.3 at 1/320th of a sec Saturday morning I received a call from my good friend Don inviting us to hike with his family up the Shackleford trail to Campbell lake in the Marble mountains. I tried to convince Taunya to come with us, but she was too excited about the prospects of …
