I rode the length of Sawyer Camp Trail today, 12 miles round trip. The trail, which is paved, travels along Crystal Springs Lake and San Andreas Lake (both reservoirs).

This image is of poison oak growing up the side of an old abandoned water department shack.

One of the things I love about my small Olympus camera is the ability to get it into tight spots for these unique angles. In addition to being small, the lens is in the corner of the camera, enabling it to get in even tighter.

A low branch from a tree has sent down roots into Sausal Pond. The pond is unusually low, exposing the root works.

I’m disappointed with this image. The place itself has a mysterious and misplaced feeling about it (“bayou-esque”), which wasn’t captured in the photograph – I think early morning in the fog could nail it.

I’m visiting my mother in Palm Springs. She has a number of beautiful rose bushes in her yard – I shot this bloomin’ rose after dark.

We’re beginning to get some rain. This a small fern in our backyard today.

I went hiking today at Windy Hill, and it was a good day for pictures. This one is of cattails around Sausal Pond going to seed.

At my local Petco. Great expression on his face.

I mountain biked around a big loop off Skyline Boulevard this morning. About three miles of the trial was along Stevens Creek, which even in October has some water running in it. This picture was at the bottom of Grizzly Flat Trail.
