Rainbows — Death Valley
I was reminded of rainbows today and decided to do a short series of posts of rainbow images. There is something magical about an arc of color reaching across the sky. Hope, promise and good fortune are associated with rainbows. This particular image is from Stovepipe Wells in Death Valley. No rain was falling where I was standing but a tremendous wind was blowing so much dust that I had to retreat to my truck. March, 2006.

California Waves — Asilomar
Asilomar State Beach is on the Monterey Peninsula in Pacific Grove, California. It is a strip of sandy beach and rocky coves. It is an especially good area to watch large waves crash over the rocks offshore. Taken in January, 2008.

California Waves
As winter turns to spring, storms are no longer pounding the coast. Most waves breaking along the California Pacific shore are wind-generated waves, caused by wind blowing over large areas of open ocean. They can travel thousands of miles before reaching land. Waves break when they run into shallow water. Large waves are dramatic, dangerous and exhilarating. In the next several posts, I will share some images from our local shores. This first image was captured along the Pacific Grove Recreation Trail, March, 2006
