Ali’i Kula Lavender

by

When we arrived at the Andaz Maui in Wailea we were informed that our room wasn't ready yet.  Rather than wait around for an undisclosed amount of time, the wife and I decided to head out.  Not wanting to be gone too long we simply headed to Ali'i Kula Lavender Farm on the slopes of Haleakala. The final couple of miles to Ali'i Kula Lavender are really windy and narrow … [Read more...] about Ali’i Kula Lavender

A Few Beautiful Landscapes of Waiheke Island in New Zealand

by

Today is a travel day, so I am going to make the post entirely visual. Here are a few photos taken over the weekend on Waiheke Island in New Zealand. Actually, all pictures were taken within about 3 minutes of each other from the same vantage point on the island. It's always amazing how a slightly different angle, or a photo crop can impact the mood of the picture. … [Read more...] about A Few Beautiful Landscapes of Waiheke Island in New Zealand

View from East Peak of Mount Tamalpais, Northern California

by

This weekend was the perfect Northern California weekend. It started with a short hike to the top of the east peak of Mount Tamalpais (the car does most of the work, with the hike only being about a mile roundtrip). Check out these great views!

My Favorite Photo of the Golden Gate Bridge

by

Last week I went on a photo safari to capture the Golden Gate Bridge at Sunset. The day was clear, so I figured there would be no fog getting in the way of the perfect shot. There were no clouds in the sky - just clear views of the Golden Gate and the Marin Headlands in the background. I took many photos and enjoyed them all. But this one has to be my favorite. … [Read more...] about My Favorite Photo of the Golden Gate Bridge

Nicasio Reservoir Reflection in Marin County, California

by

There are several routes from San Francisco to the Point Reyes National Seashore, but I sure am glad I took this one. The Nicasio Reservoir of Marin county was nearly empty when we drove past this area August of 2014. Now the water levels look healthy after winter rains, but I'm not sure how long this will last. For this visit the calm water provided a beautiful photo … [Read more...] about Nicasio Reservoir Reflection in Marin County, California
