Taken at the Gamble Garden in Palo Alto

Taken at the Queen Wilhelmina Tulip Garden in Golden Gate Park. The tulips were not at not in full bloom yet but the daffodils were.

The sun sets on a cold March day at Panther Beach, just south of Davenport, CA

This morning had the high thin clouds that typically make for a gorgeous sunset so I was hoping for a colorful show. By the time sunset rolled around, it had become quite overcast with a layer of marine fog so the sunset was muted. Even so, I was able to make an interesting image.

Merryvale Vineyards Cask Room
I’ve always wanted to go to event in the Cask Room at Merryvale. The space is evocative of another time.

Napa Valley, Mustard Among the Vines
In late winter, mustard plants grow up among the vineyards in Napa Valley. This field is near Rutherford.

The light and shadows on the water caught my eye.

North Tower of the Golden Gate Bridge. Taken after sunset.

After too many failed attempts of shooting the Golden Gate Bridge, I can tell you the secret. On a clear day, you want to wait till sun has set and the towers are lit. Twilight is the perfect time. You want a little color in the sky. This shot is a little later than ideal. It’s taken from the second turn out on Cozumel road which goes up into the Marin Headlands.
