Sunrise has to be the most peaceful time of the day. Normally, in my house, no one is awake and it is quiet. On the other hand, evening is usually busy getting the last of the days tasks finished, eating dinner and getting ready for bed. I think that is why [Continue Reading…]
I have shot so many photos of gates in this area, that sometimes I forget to look elsewhere. What is sad is that this gate is just down the road from the others. Most of the time, I don’t make it by this gate with good light. Usually it is too early, as in the [Continue Reading…]
It has been a while since I was able to coordinate my schedule with sunrise. Not to mention, it has been pretty clear or very minimal clouds lately. So, I was feeling the sunrise thing and dug through my archive for this one. I shot this …Continue Reading Here…

This was another of my morning stops. Instead of getting the full landscape, I decided to zoom in just as the sun was moving beyond the horizon. In fact, the wide angle landscape shot was pretty boring the …Continue Reading Here…
I spent several hours driving through the Boise National Forest. When I started the drive out of Boise, the temperature was not that bad, in fact, I believe it was not even below freezing. However, as I slowly wound my way up …Continue Reading Here…
The little area that I live in has some really unique weather patterns. Due to the location, we have some severe weather and I like to keep an eye on it before it hits. I look at the weather radar frequently and really like the animated time lapse. It must be a by product from …Continue Reading Here…
