Forget me nots

From the recent crop of pictures I posted to Picasa. These are a lovely crop of wild forget-me-nots, the official state flower of Alaska. They grow all over the place, and they're really beautiful.

Enjoy.

Another photo soon...

A Whale of a Tail

A humpback whale's 'tail slap'. This is a technique humpbacks use to stun their prey, making it easier to collect and eat.

Saw this guy, and many of his kin, while whale watching off the coast of Juneau, Alaska.

Lots more photos soon...

What I did on my summer vacation...

I'm in the middle of a vacation in Alaska--yesterday we spent the entire day inside Denali National Park. I took a ton of pictures, and the ones below were a couple of my favorites. We saw this yearling caribou toward the end of our trip. It caught everyone by surprise--it wasn't more than 100 yards from our bus. Quite a rare sighting, from what I hear. I still need to process lots and lots of pictures but I thought this would be a nice sampler.

I left my heart...

I had a trip to San Francisco a couple weeks ago, and managed to squeeze in some time to shoot in and around the city. Here are a few of my favorites from the trip...enjoy.

Over the Bay Bridge...

In the 9 years or so that I've been travelling to San Francisco for business, I must have driven over the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge about a bajillion times. I've always been struck by the symmetry of the architecture, and how at the right angle it repeats into infinity. I was able to catch this shot while driving over it yesterday, on a bright and sunny day. I got some other shots while driving (with someone else holding the wheel, mind you) that I will put up later...

Another photo soon...

Guest Photo

A guest photo that I was supposed to post on Friday, but I didn't get to it until today. This comes from my friend Kate, who has submitted a guest photo before. The picture is from the Walt Disney concert hall in Los Angeles. I love the shapes and the shading of grey. This is a picture I'd buy and hang somewhere as a work of art. Nice work, Kate!
