I was a bit restless this past weekend, so my camera, tent, IPod and I went for a little hiking and camping in Pinnacles National Monument, 3 hours south of San Francisco. The most amazing thing to me about the desert is actually the sky -- the untouched, unedited, brilliant blue sky.
A handful of unedited Pinnacles pictures. Flowers strutt on a blue backdrop.
Just wanted to leave a word of praise for this marvelous journal! Enchanting, inspiring, intelligent and balanced - from what I've seen so far. A gem indeed. I'm now embarrassed of my own blog.
Thank you for this offering. I'm much enjoying it!

Thank you for that kindness and I hope to see you stopping by this neck of the woods from time to time!
Cheers :)!

I love the purple flowers shot. The low angle and backdrop is exceptional. It has heart. I just hung some of my spring flowers photos at buzzoomba.com if you care to take a look.
How often to you shoot? What camera model to you shoot with?

Thanks so much Mr Besilly!
I recently moved into digital with the Canon EOS XT and a Tamron 28-300 lens and have loved the results a hobbiest can get from them. And I most love taking pictures when on the road and experiencing something new -- very inspiring :).
Lovely photos on your site by the way -- stunning color! I'd love to know what you use to get those beautiful close ups!
Cheers!

You travel to such great locations I can see why the picts keep coming. You're into Canon digital as well.
I use a Canon EOS 30D with a 28-135 image stabilzer lens. I will eventually pull in a better macro lens but still toying with my new gear.
Cheers!
