Marina Bird

No idea what species this fellow belongs to – but I appreciate the picturesque posing in San Francisco’s Marina, right next to Fort Mason.

At The Wharf

How do you know summer in San Francisco is almost over? The fog is finally leaving, and the tourist crowds in Fisherman’s Wharf are thinning. Best time to come visit...

Ferry Fly-by

There’s more to see on San Francisco Bay than just The Bridge...

Morro Bay

Halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, a little south of Hearst Castle, lies Morro Bay, a quaint fishing village with an ugly power plant (not pictured) and a very photogenic harbor. Morro Rock, an ancient volcanic plug, is the town's landmark and a protected State Reserve.

Wing on Wing

Just a couple of pelicans flying across the horizon, perfectly in sync. Nothing special, and yet it’s one of my personal favorites – the colors, the silhouettes, a couple of clouds adding texture to the background. Works even as a t-shirt...

Bodega Birds

Remember Alfred Hitchcock’s PBS-on-steroids lesson in ornithology, “The Birds”? Here are the winged protagonists' descendants, photographed, like the film, in Bodega Bay, about 2 hours north of San Francisco. More here.
