Picture: Seagull sitting on coastal rock as waves break in the background at sunset, Jug Handle State Reserve, Mendocino County Coast, California Late last week I zipped up along the Mendocino Coast to get a few photos for an upcoming book project.

Picture: Sunset light on the Trona Pinnacles, near Ridgecrest, California Yesterday I announced through my Facebook & Twitter profiles that I’d just completed a weeks long edit of a 10 day trip I took last fall to Death Valley & the Sierra while working on my book, California; Yesterday & Today.

Picture: Mysterious moving rock on the Racetrack Playa at sunset, Death Valley National Park, California “Left Turn, Clyde.” It’s probably the only line I remember from the Clint Eastwood movie, Every Which Way But Loose.

Picture: Large rock boulder balanced on edge, Joshua Tree National Park, California Last week I posted this image on my Facebook business page.

Picture: Hiker in the Zion River, Zion River Narrows, Zion National Park, Utah. This is an image I took while my buddy, Michael Routh, and I trekked up the Zion River Narrows last fall. During our return walk to the valley, Michael ditched his camera and pack on some nearby rocks, and headed out into [...]

Picture: Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls in Spring, Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park, California Normally I like to have a reason for posting a particular image, or something fun or relevant about the image. But not this time… I will say that because of the spray coming off Lower Yosemite Fall, combined with a good [...]

Picture: Delicate Arch at Sunset, Arches National Park, near Moab, Utah. (Side note: Some of you may have seen this image last Fall. It was featured on the cover of The Territory Ahead catalog.)
