A Backyard Stroll

A quick snap with my Android phone…

I'm fortunate to work at a small college with nearly 1,000 acres of undeveloped land that we're free to explore. It's full of miles of trails through the oak, manzanita, and madrone trees that make for a lovely afternoon stroll.

Would You Like Some Ketchup With That?

The Napa Valley is rarely without color…just after all of the holiday lights have been stowed away, the wild mustard flowers start to appear…

There are clumps here and there right now, but the valley floor will be carpeted in a couple more weeks… keeping the vineyards beautiful as we wait for the new green grape leaves to appear.

BTW… Catsup or Ketchup? Discuss… 😉

Have Fun Storming the Castle!

I'd love to spend more time touring Europe, visiting all kinds of castles, but this one is 15 minutes from home, in the beautiful Napa Valley.
  Next time you're in Northern California, stop by the lovely +Castello di Amorosa and take a tour!

The Lake Whispered "Rest"

One of my favorite spots in the world…Camp Mivoden on Hayden Lake, ID.

Starting with summer camp at age 10, I've spent many weeks here as camper and counselor, and many other events… but always in summer.
Last night was my first opportunity to come in during a snowstorm…but we had to leave again before the dawn… 
…so just a couple moments to catch a quick shot with the camera sitting on the deck railing.

A Bit of Europe at Home

This is the lovely +Castello di Amorosa in Calistoga, CA, just a few days ago, where we have been having record breaking high temperatures.
Today brought rain and cold and hail…but the sun will be out again shortly, and the Napa Valley is still showing her splendor.

Cowtown Dreams in Technicolor

I frequently take weekend trips that don't allow much time for photography, so I've decided to create an album of whatever I can shoot from my hotel window. 
I'll dig back and add some older ones, and continue to add new, but this was from a recent lovely weekend in the Hyatt Regency, Calgary, Alberta.
…in honor of the final album release of +Chrysta Rae's epic anniversary scavenger hunt (as close as I could get to her hometown of Edmonton 🙂
…and also for the many other Canadian friends I've made here on G+. Thank you!
