One more from our outing to Tomales Bay State Park. I wish that the foreground fern had stayed still.

One more from our hike at Tomales Bay State Park. This is a high dynamic range (HDR) infrared shot.

Another shot from Baylands from the other nite. During the evenings, we get nice breezes making the reeds sway.

One more from my visit last month to Hakone Gardens. This is part of the bamboo forest with dappled light.

Went digging into the archives for a shot from Berkeley Botanical taken around the fourth of July.

One more from Little Yosemite.

Tonite, Chip and took the girls out for a walk at Baylands. When C visited, Cho-Cho decided that C was great (I think she likes C better than us). Cho-Cho made all sorts of noises we had not heard before while trying to entice C to pet her belly. C looked shocked by the size of her belly. Note: we adopted Cho-Cho last year and she was seriously overweight and the lumpiest dog we have ever owned. Well, Chip and I decided to take her out for more exercise. Tonite, she waddled around Baylands and her a grand time.

This is another shot from yesterday a taken at Little Yosemite with C. This is Chip’s pick of the shots. Personally, I think it looks upside-down but it does not looked right when flipped. I was suprised to see how clear the reflection is becaue on site, the reflection was not visible. Previously, my infrared shots of water always had the reflections removed like a polarizer.

Went with C out to Sunol. It was her first visit. So we visited Eagle Crest for the view and then hiked out to LIttle Yosemite. I was very surprised to see the radical changes from a month ago. The creek was dried down to small pools and everything went very brown. We scrambled over giant boulder to get to this small canyon areas. This one reminds me of the canyon shots from Arizona Highways magazine.

Another shot from this weekend at Hakone Gardens. Dug out the fisheye lens for this oen.
