Lynch Canyon

Lynch Canyon, Napa, CA

Kathryn, Nick, Joan and I went hiking at Lynch Canyon today. About halfway though our trail I saw these three trees on the otherside of the park that I (and Kathryn) wanted to photograph. The problem is, the Lynch Canyon park starts out at one point but it "V"s out and between the two parts of the park is private land. I convinced the group that no one was going to shoot us and we should transport ourselves over to the other side. We did. And we got great pictures from it. Including this one.

Near Vallejo, CA

It was cloudy all day, again, but for a brief moment. In that brief moment the sun shined forth and lit this palm tree.

the forest through the trees in northern CA

South of Crescent City, CA

Today we drove home from Amy's Sister's place. It was a very nice drive filled with scenery like this. Once we got home, we un packed the cars, fed the cat and then went to celebrate my Birthday with a nice quiet dinner at Black Angus.

The green grass and leaves - as a reminder

Today and Yesterday, Cindy was lamenting about the grass disappearing under a blanket of white fluffy stuff. When the winter gets too rough, I hope she can turn here an enjoy a bit of green.

It's a Print

Pleasant Hill, CA

After spending the last three class periods developing film, tonight I finally got to return to the darkroom and...wait for it....make a print. I am so happy. This is the first print of 12 for my final project.

Additionally tonight, my professor invited me to take the next level class next semester. Now I just have to convince my father to let me continue to borrow the camera.
