A Year in Photos

Photography, fiction, and personal essays form my three primary creative outlets. For this blog's first 18 months, I used it primarily for photography. As I've returned to creative writing, I'll use this blog for fiction, too. Sometimes, when reality needs to be discussed more than truth, I write personal essays.

This blog will continue to showcase as many above-average photos as I can muster. Hopefully my written work will be as good or better than the visual. Whichever drew you here -- photographs or fiction, I hope you enjoy both.

Overnight Camping Photos

Last week I camped Monday night on Mount Diablo in Walnut Creek, California. I stayed in the Juniper Campground, the highest on the mountain, and took a site I thought would have good views. Here are some of the remaining images (the others being the star trails from yesterday.)


Night must have been truly terrifying for primitive man. Heck, I had three raccoons in my campground off and on and that was terrifying enough. Sly little buggers, raccoons.


Sunset over Walnut Creek, California. Not an easy capture, but the result is pleasing.


Actually, this isn't from the campsite. This is from the visitors center at the summit, looking North to Concord and Clayton.


This is also from the summit, looking South, toward Danville.


Sunrise at the campsite, in the same place where I took the plane and star trails photo.


Sunset from the campsite.


Sunset from near the campsite. With views like this, how could anyone not love this campsite? This is a wonderful place to spend a few nights.
