Sunrise

Just as I was getting ready for work one morning, I glanced out the window and saw a peek of a beautiful sunrise. So I slung my camera bag over my shoulder, climbed up Lucrezia to get onto the roof, and tried to capture the sunrise. After a little editing in Camera Raw, I think I got something worth sharing here.

UPDATE (2021-02-26): After some subtle suggestions from Uncle Jerry, I worked more on my image noise. Check out the close-up of Cedro Peak—much smoother now. I don’t love how the Cedro towers turned out—wished they were crisper—but you can only do too much with a photo when you’ve only got a few pixels across a feature.

January snow

We had a nice snow fall, and I took a minute to capture some quick pictures of the snowy yard and mountain background.

The pups enjoyed a little running around, before Hercules got cold and went inside. I finally got an ok picture of Cheech while he was hugging the wall of the house trying not to step in the snow.

Furry critters in the snow.

Pine Flats Dogs

We took a walk in the Pine Flats area with friends Flint and Arthur and their Ginger.
