Oak Leaves, Autumn. Yosemite National Park, California. October 22, 2006. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Colorful autumn oak leaves in Yosemite Valley with granite rock behind. I visit the Valley every fall near the end of October for the spectacular fall color show. I found these leaves along a trail behind the Valley Chapel.

Pacific Ocean, Gulls. August 24, 2006. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.
I photographed this minimalist seascape along the Pacific Ocean coastline south of San Francisco, California during the summer of 2006. One goal was to convey a sense of the space and distance in this scene, and the inclusion of the very small images of the gulls in the foreground was part of this. (You can find related images in my Gallery, particularly in the California Coast and Natural World sections.)
Many related photographs may be found in the landscape (see the California Coast section) and wildlife sections of my photography gallery.
