Milky Way and Andromeda Over El Capitan – The autumn Milky Way shining over Yosemite’s El Capitan on a moonless evening, October 2011. At the same time, climbers on the face of El Capitan shine their own light back at the universe in this 27 second fish-eye exposure.

Galiano Eagle-9222 – Galiano Island, British Columbia July 5, 2009. A bald eagle searching the channel for food on a quiet day. Although daylight, the background tree appears as ephemera or a suggestion of a staged backdrop rather than a substantive object. Seen by boat on the water’s edge.

This morning I knocked down this spider’s web that hangs in the upper corner of our garage door. Went for a bike ride and came back to find that she’d spun the entire web again. Here she is spinning some additional silk, seen from the underside.

From a February 2011 shoot at Marin County’s Rodeo Beach.  The light of sunset reflected off the post-storm waves churning along the coast.  This image was selected for the 2011 Emeryville Art Exhibit held October 1 – 23 at 1480 64th St in Emeryville. Two other images from the same visit are available online in my Abstracts Gallery on Smugmug.com.
