What appears as a low fog over the rocks is actually a long exposure of the waves crashing into the shore at dusk.
A different exposure of the same scene a few moments later here

Coast to coast. Last photo I took before dropping my 4 month old camera on the pavement. Totally fucked. The price has come down $2 since I bought it so it's only a $498 loss... It's friday and I'm tryin not to care
An older shot I worked on. There is a light house on the point but the fog moved in faster than I could get ready to shoot. This was near San Simeon.

This was the second of two beautiful sunsets that I was privileged to enjoy during the time that my brother, sister in law and I spent in Carmel, California in April, 2010.
Mono Lake, California - as the water level drops more of the interesting shapes of the tufa formations become visible over time.
Spent a few days in San Diego/California to escape grey skies and storms. Took a stroll along the marina on my last evening there and was rewarded with a glorious sunset. Hope you'll enjoy as much as I did!
A belated Happy New Year to you all. May it be happy, healthy and more peaceful than it started out. Nous sommes tout Charlie!

My son, Jim, his wife and two children live in California not far from the wine country. Sue and I try to visit them at least once a year. I took this picture a few years ago. We will be going back in June for my grand daughter's wedding.
Blue sky and just a hint of the bright orange California Poppy in the background are refracted in the rain drop, along with a lot of the surrounding meadow.
This was shot from the top of California Pass at around 13,000 feet. The road goes to Animas Forks ghost town. It is also the headwaters of the Animas River. This year we drove to Animas Forks, but most times we cutoff on Placer Gulch to Picayne Gulch back to Animas Forks.
Animas forks ghost town is one of the best you will see in Colorado. Currently they are restoring many of the buildings there. From Animas Forks you can drive to Silverton, or take Cinnamon Pass to Lake City, or North Cutoff to Engineer Pass road which would take you to Ouray or Lake City depending on which way you turn. The Ouray side of Engineer is much rougher than the Lake City Side.
Thanks for looking and making comments.
No this is not Ireland here but the hills of central California coastal mountains. I was driving north of San Louis Obisbo county . It is wine and "Sideways" country with vinyards, grazing pasture for cattle and hillside dotted with California white oaks. . The slight blur at the bottom is because I shot from a car window near twilight going sixty mph but I like the effect and it is both fun and frustrating to photograph from the car as you get a lot of bad shots too but in the age of digital it doesnt cost you you just hit delete and save the best. Happy spring to all.

Death Valley National Park is a mostly-arid United States National Park located east of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Inyo County, California with a small extension and exclave (Devil's Hole) in Nye County, Nevada. The park covers 5,219 mi² (13,518 km²), encompassing Saline Valley, a large part of Panamint Valley, almost all of Death Valley, and parts of several mountain ranges. It is the hottest and driest of the national parks in the United States and contains the second-lowest point in the Western
Hemisphere at Badwater, which is 282 feet (86 m) below sea level. It is also home to many species of plants and animals that have adapted to this harsh desert environment. Some examples include Creosote Bush, Bighorn Sheep, Coyote, and the Death Valley Pupfish — a survivor of much wetter times. Approximately 95% of the park is designated as wilderness.

Spring leaves are just budding out on these trees, which I believe are Blue Oaks.
Apsens in fall splendor. The afternoon sun added a nice golden glow looking up from the forest floor.

The State of California is the most populous state of the United States of America. Located on the Pacific coast of North America, it is bordered by Oregon, Nevada and Arizona in the United States, and Baja California in Mexico. The state's four largest cities are Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose and San Francisco. California is known for its diverse climate and ethnically diverse population. The state has 58 counties.
Inhabited by indigenous people for millennia, Alta California was first colonized by the Spanish Empire in 1769, and after Mexican independence in 1821, continued as part of Mexico. Following one brief week as the independent California Republic in 1846, and the conclusion of the Mexican-American war in 1848, California was annexed by the United States and was admitted to the Union as the thirty-first state on September 9, 1850.
California's diverse geography ranges from the sandy beaches of the Pacific coast to the rugged, snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains in the east. The central portion of the state is dominated by the Central Valley, one of the most vital agricultural areas in the country. The Sierra Nevada contains Yosemite Valley, famous for its glacially-carved domes, and Sequoia National Park, home to the largest living organisms on Earth, the giant sequoia trees, and the highest point in the contiguous United States, Mount Whitney. The tallest living things on Earth, the ancient redwood trees, dot the coastline, mainly north of San Francisco. California is also home to the second lowest and hottest place in the Western Hemisphere, Death Valley. Bristlecone pines located in the White Mountains are the oldest known trees in the world; one has an age of 4,700 years.
The California Gold Rush, beginning in 1848, dramatically changed California with an influx of population and an economic boom, and San Francisco became a financial and cultural center. The early part of the 20th century was marked by Los Angeles becoming the center of the entertainment industry, in addition to the growth of a large tourism sector in the state. The Central Valley is home to California's important agricultural industry, the largest of any state. Other important industries have included the aerospace and oil industries. In recent decades, California has become a global leader in computers and information technology. If California were a country, its economy would rank among the ten largest in the world, and it would be the 35th largest country by population (behind Kenya).

my apologies for being so repetitive with many of these images I am sharing recently... using the same female face I found on a billboard in NYC over top of this California sunset.
Our family is going on another trip to California from March 11 - 25, so this theme is top of mind right now... only a week away now!

every time I visit California, I fall in love with the oak trees. They are so interesting and have so much character. I found this beauty sitting in the middle of a vineyard in Paso Robles. Used texture "painterly sky" from playing with brushes.
The California scrub jay (Aphelocoma californica), is a species of scrub jay native to western North America. It ranges from southern British Columbia throughout California west of the Sierra Nevada. The California scrub jay was once lumped with the island scrub jay, and Woodhouse's scrub jay, collectively called the western scrub jay. The group was also lumped with the Florida scrub jay; the taxon was then called, simply, the scrub jay. The California scrub jay is nonmigratory and can be found in urban areas, where it can become tame and will come to bird feeders. While many refer to scrub jays as "blue jays", the blue jay is a different species of bird entirely. In recent years, the California scrub jay has expanded its range north into the Tsawwassen region of British Columbia.
