I was looking for a particular image last night which had me looking through some of my old slides and I found a couple fun ones so I'll share.


Classic crack, Leavenworth with Steve Toker and Tamara
Snow was falling





atop of Frogland in Red Rocks, savoring having blasted past "max and ian"







The super SUPER secret bivy site (aka "the Loveshack")
... from the inside out

Another morning spent at Sunol regional park yielded these images of a chesnut-backed chichadee

and a Nuttall's woodpeckerHummingbird feathers never cease to amaze me. Look at what a difference he make just by turning his head!













All of these images above were made with my new homemade flash bracket seen below.
The big advantage of this is that it gets the flash up high enough that it can be used for fill light without the evil "demon eye" (the animal equivalent of red eye - see the cow below for an extreme example of demon-eyes) that otherwise plagues flash users. It cost about $10 from the hardware store and a couple hours work versus several hundred to buy something that does the same!

Here's finally a better image of a red-shouldered hawk

a warbler found its way into some artsy light where i was waiting
