Our daughter invited us to camp and hike in the Eastern Sierra Nevada. We boondocked at about 7,200 feet and drove up to a trailhead at about 10,000 feet. There we started our hike.
Pretty soon we saw the “John Muir Wilderness” sign.
Beside other hikers we saw a few fly fisher along the way.
Above 10,000 feet the wildflowers were blooming in abundance during the month of July.
And the vistas of the High Sierra mountains were stunning! Enjoy!
I photographed these flowers in 2002, also 22 years ago. I bought a 5 megapixel camera which I used to create this image. I still have the camera for sentimental reasons. Still, the quality of this image still amazes me.
This is a combination of ten exposures of a bouquet of carnations. Enjoy!
This is what you see of a yellow star thistle after the actual blossom has withered away. To me it looks like a Christmas tree ornament. I wish everybody a Merry Christmas.
Which version of this image do you like better and why?
I had the privilege photographing in the Alabama Hills on the east side of the Sierra Nevada. Due to the tremendous amount of precipitation the desert is in full bloom while the mountain tops are still covered with snow. Enjoy!
I photographed this beautiful lily on hyw 49 outside Mariposa, CA. Enjoy!
I choose my lenses according to the background blur they produce. This 50mm lens creates a beautiful bubbly bokeh. Enjoy!
This mornings rains opened up the opportunity for macro photography. I had beautiful soft light since the clouds were still hanging around. I used a 180mm macro lens plus extension tubes to get some great images. I am sharing three Witze you. Enjoy!
I photographed these cacti blossoms in old town San Diego. Enjoy!
