Flashback Friday!

Soft light on the horizon, a lone surfer waiting in the water, and that brief stretch of time when the whole ocean seems to settle into the end of the day.

Sometimes the smallest figure in the frame tells you just how big the moment really was.

Enveloped in the wake.

Two grebes making their way across Lake Almanor as the wake of a passing boat rolls around them, turning the surface of the lake into layer after layer of blue.

I love how small they become among the waves, two little lives simply carrying on as the water moves around them.

A quieter moment on Lake Almanor.

After watching all the courtship, chasing, diving, and commotion on the water, sometimes the best moment is simply watching one glide by.

A Clark’s Grebe, surrounded by soft blues and just enough reflection to make the lake feel endless.

Where We Meet the Bay

An evening where Santa Cruz seemed to slow down just enough to notice everything happening at once. Sailboats crossing the harbor, surfers catching the last waves, families along the shoreline, birds sharing the beach, and Walton Lighthouse watching over it all.

Sometimes the best part of living beside the Monterey Bay is simply watching everyone meet the water in their own way.

A little Flashback Friday to one of those moments when Davenport felt almost unreal.

The sun dropping toward the Pacific, waves rolling in, and a stranger swinging above the water as everything turned gold.

Sometimes you find the photograph. Sometimes you just happen to be standing there when the photograph finds you.

I went looking for grebes, but Lake Almanor had plenty more to show me.

A lone cormorant resting above the water, almost completely reduced to silhouette; just shape, light, and that endless blue.

One of my favorite parts of spending time photographing nature is never knowing what will ask you to stop and pay attention.

Sometimes the wildlife isn't the whole story.

During the Grebe Festival at Lake Almanor, I spent plenty of time watching and photographing the birds, but every so often, it was worth pulling back and taking in the landscape they call home.

Water, wetlands, forest, and mountains all layered together, with a lone Snowy Egret standing quietly in the middle of it all, a small reminder of just how big the world around us really is.

Courtship at full speed!

Another moment from my trip to Lake Almanor, where I had the chance to watch Grebes during some of their courtship behavior.

There was quite a bit of courting happening when I caught this grebe racing across the surface of the lake. I love how the photograph preserved its path; each little splash marking another step across the water.

It happened in an instant, but the camera let me hold onto the movement just a little longer.
