Bee and Pink Flower

A local honeybee dives head first into the pollen laden center of a Hollyhock flower in North County.

Golden Sunset

North County along the coast is a good place to photograph a wide variety of colorful sunsets.

Tree Hugger

Entranced by the large size of this bamboo grove, I waited for a young boy to position himself, unaware of the photographer, before taking the image. The size of the boy offers information about the relative size of the bamboo. The location is Quail Gardens in north San Diego County.

Coastal Sunsets

Coastal areas are prime locations for photographing sunsets. In addition, late Winter, early Spring and the Fall offer the best times for taking sunset photographs in San Diego. These images were taken from the cliffs near La Jolla, Solana Beach and Leucadia, respectively, in the Spring. Notice that during composition the horizon is placed either above or below the midline of the image, depending upon whether it is the sky or the water that is emphasized.
