Yosemite Valley March 2010



Life and Work have slowed a bit ... and Dave & I were able to spend some time in Yosemite Valley. This picture was taken at Tunnel View Overlook. There was still a great deal of snow and the waterfalls were magnificent. Reminder: Click on the picture for the full effect!

Happy December

The weather has certainly turned wintery in Morgan Hill. The houses are beginning to be decorated for Christmas and the shopping malls are full. Dave & I have decorated our Christmas tree and are eagerly awaiting our new coffee maker which should be delivered this week.

Happy Thanksgiving 2009

I have been fortunate to visit the Las Vegas area many times in 2009 as a result of my work. And though many associate Las Vegas with bright lights and casinos, I have had the opportunity to explore the surrounding area.

The Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is an awe inspiring site 15 miles west of the strip.

Every trip from San Jose, I eagerly look out my Southwest Airlines window as we approach the Las Vegas airport for the view of these red rocks. It was a thrill to bring the camera and tripod and explore this area on foot.

Scenic Loop Road is a must do and affords some grand vistas.

This is a 4 picture HDR composition taken with my Canon 5D. This captures the redness of the rocks and the clarity of the Nevada sky.

Gabrielle

I created this painting using Painter X of my wonderful pomeranian Gabrielle.
