I photographed these two dogwood flowers and dogwood branches in a dark and shady area of the Yosemite Valley forest last April just as the spring bloom was starting. (With the apparent intent of simplifying photographers’ lives, the tree had fallen over so that the beautiful blooms were mostly right at about waist level… :-)

Waterfall on Cascade Creek along Big Oak Flat Road near Yosemite Valley. This is one of the most easily accessible waterfalls in Yosemite – it is just above a bridge on the road dropping into the Valley from Big Oak Flat and the creek passes right beneath the roadway.

Grapevines photographed against the sunset sky at the Falkner Winery near Temecula, California.

This photo is related to some of what I described in the previous post – my daughter’s recent wedding, which took place at this winery in Temecula. In early May we were there to make some arrangements, and in the evening I wandered off for a moment (as the father of the bride is prone to do… ;-) and photographed the new vines of the nearby vineyard late in the day.

This photograph was made at one of my favorite and frequently-visited local oak/grassland parks in the southern portion of Santa Clara County in the southern reaches of the San Francisco Bay Area. At certain times of the year I visit this area almost weekly.
