Ride, Sally, Ride....

My styrofoam head is named Sally because that's the name of the store from where she came.   Sally helps me with lighting correctly.  I noticed that she is looking a little beat up this morning.   I put her in with my lighting gear to get her off my guest room night stand (which was a little too creepy for me).  Art or goin' off the deep end?

This photo was taken last summer right before the 4th of July.   I needed practice shooting fireworks, and, as it turned out, the show beforehand was pretty fun to capture.   A friend reminded me about this photo  today.   Thanks to Steve, Larry and Mimi for a fun evening!

Learning to Fly

Wow, I am learning to fly on my own! Here I am blogging about the joys and challenges of becoming a real photographer and entrepreneur. I love photographing high school seniors, families, anniversaries, and winery events.

Learning to Fly

This snowy egret is just learning to fly. Look at his fluffy feathers on top of his head. So cute. I stayed at this nesting site for 4 hours~totally mesmerized by the beauty. You just knew when the moms would be flying in because the babies would squawk like crazy!

This lake is on the east side of the Tioga Pass just before the entrance to Yosemite. I'd never seen this much snow during the summer months. The clouds were amazing.
