    Really enjoyed my time with Jesus and a portrait model he provided. Even though it rained on and off during our session, we all made the best of it. Jesus was very methodical about the process of taking a portrait, he made sure the model and I got a good connection and I got the pictures to show for it. Great photo lesson!

    On my 10th hike along the Mitchell Canyon trail I found this Rose Clover seed mass and thought it looked like soft feathers ready to drift off on the wind. Rose Clover is an invasive non-native plant in California, yet lovely and delicate.

    A photo of a Tree Swallow taken during a walk through the meadowlands. These birds are extremely quick and erratic often difficult to photograph. Luckily this one decided to take a little posing break and allowed me a nice shot. Taken with my Canon R5 with a Sigma 150-600 mm lens.
