Wing Over The Himilaya
I have been traveling for over 24 hours already. This is my first glimpse of what is to come. The Himilaya proudly puncture the clouds that cloak the surrounding earth.

Apple Trees
Guess who went apple picking today?
We went to Gabriel Farms (http://gabrielfarm.com/) in Sebastopol (Sonoma County), California. This was an awesome organic farm. The folks there are really, really, really friendly and helpful. We are definitely going back. We are looking forward to making some apple butter, an apple 'cake' that bakes for 14 hours, and some other yummy treats.
You may have noticed this photo and the photo from yesterday have been taken with an external flash. Now that my D300s has 'commander mode' I am practicing with off camera flash. This photo would look really bad (in terms of lighting) if I only used the mid day sun. I was able to take out some of the heavy shadows (and get a nice blue sky by stopping down the lens) by popping my SB-600 at half power from ground level. If I had a diffuser the lighting would have worked a bit better ... I wouldn't have the same harsh uplighting at the lower hanging apples. The photo is a bit busy but I hope you enjoy.

Good times never seem to last long enough. Today was a great. It was great spending the day with Brad, Ann, Ross and Justine.

Sky Over ... Mountains?
I love the summer night sky. For a second I thought I was camping somewhere looking at it over the mountains ... then I snapped back to reality and realized they were buildings and I was standing in a parking lot.

Lonesome
This lone tree is on top of a rock that must stand around 60 feet in height, mostly vertical in shape. We went for a LONG hike at the Pinnacles today (http://www.nps.gov/pinn). We took on every path in the park, yowsers. We are sore but had a fantastic time. This rock is next to Condor Crag where some of our wonderful (and rare) California condors live.

I hate looking at above ground wires but love photographing them . . . weird.
