“Alien”
This rock formation in the Alabama Hills stopped me dead in my tracks. I saw this alien head jutting out, looking straight at me. I could see his head, arms, shoulders, butt, and legs. Was I on a movie set or was it just my imagination.
This little sea otter was showing off twisting his/her body and rolling in the water. He stopped for a second to pose. I couldn’t resist.

It was a beautiful day with a bright blue sky and the sun shining down on this bucolic rural scene just below Hearst Castle along the central California coast. You can see the Castle on the hill above. It was just fun being out enjoying the countryside. I waited until the horses moved around to frame the country school house. I felt like I was going back in time. This area will be a place I come back to in future years.

It has been several months since I entered my last post. It is time to get started again. I was motivated to do so by two photographers I went on a photo shoot with along the Central California Coast. These two, Karen Hall and Vicki Moro, took me on a quick introductory trip along the California coast line above Morro Bay. They encouraged me to start sharing my images again. Thank you Karen and Vicki for a great day and the stimulus!
This image is of the hills above Morro Bay. What caught my eye was the layers of shadows across the emerald green hills, the water, the distant hills, and the clouds. The shot was at mid-day, so I combined several images to create a balanced exposure.
