It has been a little while since I have posted a new photo from Seward.  Here is a recent image captured out or front door of a view that never gets old!

Janine has been working very hard to update our website with our new photos from this past fall, and we now have the first of what should be many updates over the next couple of weeks, and that is a new section of Rocky Mountain National Park photos, along with a sub gallery of Estes Park photos.

This winter I’m going to offer two weekend photo workshops in the beautiful Anza-Borrego Desert in Southern California.  You can read about all the details here:  Anza-Borrego Photo Tour / Workshop.

The timing of the announcement is perfect because over the last two days Borrego Springs has received almost an inch of rain, with more forecasted for the rest of this week.  An inch of rain my not sound like much, but that is a huge amount for this area.  This, coupled with some earlier storms all but assures us that there will be some wildflowers.  Even without wildflowers this is a wonderful area, but wildflowers can completely transform the desert.

Right after uploading the page, and before I had a chance to announce this workshop, someone spotted it on our website and has already signed up.  I only have permits for two weekends, and only for 5 people at a time, so these could fill quickly – and when they do, that will be it.  So check out the page and let me know if you have any questions!

In addition to this workshop, we also offer a number of Alaska photo tours.

We are done converting and adjusting our photos from our end of summer and fall travels, and we should be updating our website soon, including a new section on Colorado.  Until then, I thought I would share a few more photos from that trip.

Sharp eyed viewers might spot the bull elk.

I promised to start adding the settings for each photo, and then proceeded to forget on the very next post.  This was 6 seconds at f/18 and iso 100.  I don’t remember, but I’m guessing I used a two stop soft edge graduated neutral density filter.

California HISTORY cover!

California History  The Journal of the California Historical Society.

California History The Journal of the California Historical Society.

I wasn’t sure what I would write about today until I made my daily walk to the Post Office and found this in the box!  It is a thrill and honor to be on the cover of such a wonderful publication.

This photo was captured along the California’s Central Coast near Big Sur a few years ago – I would love to spend some more time along the beautiful stretch of coastline.
