I traveled half way across the world to see…Yosemite Valley. Don’t let the Swiss Tourism Board trick you into visiting Switzerland, when you can just drive 4hrs from the Bay Area to visit Yosemite, 0/10 is my Yelp review

The Basilica Cistern is amazingly beautiful. From the 6th century, it’s a a testament to Byzantine engineering!

One of the new photos that I edited for tonight's free Bioluminescent Blooms webinar hosted by NOAA's Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and O'Neill Sea Odyssey with Dr. Steve Haddock, Senior Scientist at Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI).
Do you have any questions for me about bioluminescent photography or any scientific questions for Dr. Haddock? Ever wonder why there are no freshwater bioluminescent plankton or freshwater bioluminescent fish? Dr. Haddock will answer these questions for you. Hope you can join us at 6pm Pacific Time tonight! https://register.gotowebinar.com/regi.../5247215144847549709

6 of my bioluminescent photos are in Beachcombing Magazine's Nov/Dec issue that just came out! Ginger Bowman shared a wonderful story of her family seeing the bioluminescent waves, and also there is an article by Alex Scott about Bioluminescent Algae. Beachcombing Magazine has a lot of wonderful articles about the coast, beach finds, and art/jewelry created with sea glass. For more information, take a look at their website: https://www.beachcombingmagazine.com/

Look Ma! I'm on the news! Many thanks to Amy Larson at KRON4 News for the article about Bioluminescent waves, featuring my photographs and videos!

Bioluminescence is creating a magical site along a stretch of Santa Cruz County coastline. Waves are glowing neon blue because of a bloom of bioluminescent phytoplankton.

Sunset on July 17th looking over the Dream Inn Santa Cruz. I was hoping to see Comet NEOWISE after sunset from the Santa Cruz Wharf, but more clouds moved in shortly after I took this pic
