I've Been Away and Busy

For the last few months I've been on Southeast Farallon Island.

On a foggy morning at the SEFI lighthouse

 Having an amazing time in the fog and occasional sun

Olive-sided Flycatcher on a background of Farallon Weed

 looking at lots of seabirds and the occasional landbird

Steller's Sea Lion

 every once and awhile we'd get mammals too!

Check out some more of my photos on my flickr account!

Also, just made a post on the Farallon blog page on bird photography here!

Where's the Rain?

I wish more rain would come so I could stop taking pictures of dried up mushrooms and start up my mycology series again. If you haven't done it before, I highly suggest going out and trying to find, take pictures of, and maybe even identify some mushrooms (whatever you do, don't try to eat any...no, seriously). Here is an awesome beginner guide to mushroom identifying (David Arora is a madman and is awesome), and here is a book I'm about to dive into that sound pretty interesting.

Summer in Davis

Where it is hot enough to do Bikram yoga without setting foot into a studio.

Happy Solstice Everyone

I hope you're enjoying your day as much as i'm enjoying mine! Longest Day of the year!

Getting Warmer

In Davis this summer. Its about to get hot. Time to bust out the hawaiin leis.

This shot was taken on my pentax mx with expired 400asa color film

Spring Fires

It has been a few days since an update, and don't worry, I've got some stuff brewin. It's just been hard to sit down in front of my computer with these beautiful day and stellar nights. Family (as in my room mates and I) have started doing grilling and we finally took advantage of the fire pit we made in the summer. Amazing days these past few have been. 4 bonfires in 5 nights is definitely the way to go. Shirts option as well as all other clothing of course. Hope you're all well, see you soon.

Fickle Weather

Changing back and forth from pouring to sunshine...I can't help but feel bad for all the creatures that get fooled.

Go, Little Sprout, Go!

New sprouts appearing around our house. Stoked! This photo shows a new buds epic journey against inclement weather and harsh trials to becoming new leaves, a new flower and eventually a fruit.

The Flowers Are Out

How am I supposed to study for finals when it is so damn beautiful out.

Looks Like Rain Today

Time to bust out my hippie vomit ski jacket! If you see a guy that looks like a rainbow in shorts biking in the rain, thats me.

Ambiguity

A little bit of colored abstract for you guys today. Hope you're somewhere where you can enjoy the weather!

The Flowers

They all have to be super confused by now. It was very spring-like in terms of weather the past week or so and all of a sudden BAM rain and wind again. These guys look fairly rugged so I'm sure they'll be ok.

Tahoe Cabin

I would like some more snow please. But apparently it's not supposed to snow for awhile. How bittersweet is that?

Back to the Snow

Skiing Alpine Meadows again today with my good bud Jake. Hope he wakes up soon...

Happy New Years Everyone

I'm off to find some solace in nature.

Fall Weather

It seemed like we kind of skipped a season in Davis and it went straight to winter for awhile, it was all rainy and gloomy and the slackline was hardly out; what an upset. But lately, its been really nice, at least in my opinion. Lots of fog reminds me of home, and it's actually comforting in a way. I really do love cloud cover.
