Beach Scenes Near Jenner, CA
(View Photos) November 25, 2006 This was a day exploring beaches along the Sonoma County coast line. While checking out Goat Rock beach just south of the Russian River we noticed this beach (Unnamed) just north of Jenner and decided it would be a good location for sunset shots. We weren't disappointed. |

Fall Color
Photo Shoot in Eastern Sierras and White Mountains October 3 - 8, 2006 Fall Colors were just peaking in some areas of the eastern Sierras during this 6-day photo shoot with fellow photographer Randy Smith. Other areas were still weeks away and some had already gone directly to brown. Mono Lake was spectacular as always. For me, the real highlight of the trip was our day among the ancient Bristlecone Pines in the White Mountains. These beautiful ancient trees were simply awe inspiring. |
