The Redwoods

Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve

Guernville, CA

In all the years I traveled to the Bay Area for business, I never visited the redwoods. Earlier this month while visiting some friends, I had the opportunity to do so.

Blinded By The Light

52Frames - Week 38 - One Light Source

Travel this week made planning a photo difficult. I had to react quickly to any opportunities that presented themselves. This walk through town in late afternoon provided some flexibility to move around and capture rim light scenes.

A Great Read

2022_CLondon52w31: What Are You Reading?

From the C.London website: "It could be a novel, poem, short story, or even just a blog post. For this week I want you to pull inspiration from something you’ve recently read. Try and show the viewer something about the writing that spoke to you."

From Sean Tucker's book, THE MEANING IN THE MAKING, in his closing benediction on page 318, Sean writes:  "May you 'protect your highlights' and remember to celebrate your growth as an artist and accept yourself as fundamentally good.  May your work ultimately point us toward the light."

52Frames - Week 25 - What Is It?

EC: Macro

At the suggestion of the 52Frames gurus, I'm not providing any clues although it does seem relatively discernable.

Multi-Beams

From the C.London website: Open For Interpretation

Even though a week early for the challenge, I grabbed this photo just in case because of the strong sunbeams and the joy being expressed by my grandson watching one of his favorite programs being beamed to the TV. Since no good weather is predicted between now and Saturday, I'm going with it as my submission.
