A favorite location, a neighbor’s pasture down the road. In some years, the field is filled with lupine. Not too many in April of 2007, but I liked this patch in front of the oak tree.

A Look Back—Pacific Grove Echium
Echium, or the Pride of Madeira plants begin to bloom along the bike trail in Pacific Grove towards the end of winter. I liked this arrangement against the stone wall. Taken with a wide-angle lens on March 19, 2007.

A Look Back—Flowers and Pine
So often the Sierras in summer are dry and dusty. In July of 2006, there was enough moisture for these delicate flowers to thrive. Taken in Kings Canyon National Park in the central Sierra Nevada.

A Look Back—Poppies And Tracks
I found this section of unused railroad tracks for the first time in 2006. I liked the bright color of the poppies against the rusting tracks. I have returned to this area every spring since then, but have never found as profuse a bloom.

A Look Back—Sierra Butterfly
Another one of my personal favorite photographs. This was taken in an area of the Sierra Nevada mountains where I have camped for many years. This was taken near one of my favorite swimming areas along Ten Mile stream. July, 2005.

A Look Back—Prunedale Lupine
A good year for lupine in Prunedale in May, 2005. This field is only a short distance from my house and has been a favorite subject over the years.

A Look Back—Sunflowers
Revisiting older shots reminds me of numerous expeditions looking for interesting subjects. It has also reminded me of the qualities of certain lenses that I seldom use these days. I used the Nikon 24-120mm for a long time but I used it less after I bought “Professional” lenses. However, many of the shots I like from that time period were taken with that lens. Maybe I need to revisit that lens again. This was taken near Anzar Road, north of San Juan Bautista, California.

Cornwall–Friesian Cows
A very misty day hiking along the coast near Chapel Porth. These Friesian cows were curious about the hikers near their field.

Cornwall–Country Lane
Many of the roads in Cornwall are lined with flowering hedgerows. Driving is an adventure but the roads are beautiful. Most of these flowers are red and white Campion.
