Yak 52 In Flight Photo

A while back while my dad and I went flying, another pilot from the airport decided to fly up next to us in his Yak 52. Since I had my camera with me, I was able to get some nice in-flight shots of the plane. Enjoy!

BCWA Part 3

Once again I took a trip out to the Battle Creek Wildlife Area. Its hard to beat a spot where you almost always see at least 1 bald eagle, 1 great blue heron, several dozen vultures, several flocks of quail, mergansers, mallards, and dozens of small birds.

Moonrise next to Mt. Lassen

One night a couple days ago, my dad and I took a trip out to a lookout about 45 minutes from our house so that I could get some shots of the mountains. Since we were already up their, we decided to stay and watch the moon come up. Boy am I glad we did! See for yourself.

Battle Creek Wildlife Area Part 2

Here in CA we are going through quite a heat wave, at least for winter. Yesterday it got of to 75! I have been taking advantage of this great weather and have taken several more trips out to the Battle Creek Wildlife Area.

Battle Creek Wildlife Area

Lately the weather has been fairly nice (for winter) and I have been able to go on more photo shoots. One of the new places that I have been going to is the Battle Creek Wildlife Area. Enjoy!

Reading Island

Yesterday I took a trip out to Reading Island on the Sacramento River. It was sunny, but fairly cold and windy, so not many birds or animals were out. However, I was able to get some fairly nice landscape shots.
