While wandering around the Gamble Garden looking for flowers to photograph, I came upon this dragonfly who was kind enough to remain in one spot while I photographed him.
After taking this shot, I thought I should write down the name of the flower but then I remembered in today’s SEO driven world, generically calling them white flowers attractsmore attention (searches) than the actual name. One of my most popular images is these ‘Red Flowers’.
Taken at the Gamble Garden in Palo Alto.

Sunset over the pier at Sea Cliff State Beach
It was a cloudy June day so not too much color in the sky. In the distance and the end of the pier is the remains of the USS Palo Alto.
USS Palo Alto
The USS Palo Alto is a concrete hull ship docked, well more wreaked, at the end of the pier at Seacliff State Beach in Aptos. Brought to Sea Cliff in 1930 to become a merriment destination with a dance floor and even plans for heated swimming pool, the venture failed and the ship ended up abandoned. Today, all that’s left is the decaying hull.
Neon Boneyard, Las Vegas
The Neon Boneyard is a must visit for me on my next trip Las Vegas. I learned about it too late on my last trip to get one the tours so I had to content myself with looking and shooting over the fence. The boneyard is a wonder-land of old lighted signs, neon or light bulbs.
Sunset through Cloudy Skies, Pfeiffer Beach, Big Sur
The cloudy skies made for a dramatic sunset.

Peju Winery
Golden light just before sunset falls on Peju Winery. Didn’t end up tasting here since it was a long wait.
