    Hero Shot

    I saw this rock wren up at Lake Berryessa. He had caught a nice spider and asked me to take a picure of him posing with his catch. He told me to text it to him so he could send it to some of his...

    Green is Good

    I like green. I like it a lot. Green is good.

    In this part of the world it is about as green as it gets right now. Most of the year it is not green so I like to appreciate it while it is here. ...

    Planet Earth

    Planet Earth can be a pretty awesome place when it is not too beat up, trampled or crowded with dudes. It also is a little under appreciated in my opinion. If you ask most people what is great in...

    The K - Not Its Best Day

    The Klamath at I-5 is looking like half water and half lake bottom sediment. I have not seen anything like it. It is a bad time to be a fish in the Klamath but I guess you have to get it out of...

    I could probably go out there and find a fish right now but opportunities are not good and it hardly seems worth doing. I expect I will get motivated soon but in the meantime the bird photography...
