I went to Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens again, probably the 4th time this summer. I was looking for the Giant water Lily and yes, I did find them starting to bloom but most pleasant surprise was the gorgeous bright water lilies in the same pond and […]
Sunrise at Crater Lake
Crater Lake National Park, Oregon was the last stop of our recent 10-day Oregon photo tour. The first outing was to take the sunrise photos on the very next day upon our arrival. Since our hotel was 40 minute drive away, we had to get […]
Prairie Creek Redwood State Park Crescent City, California
We were extremely lucky to see the magical sun rays came through the redwood forest in the foggy morning as we drove on Redwood Highway 101. We must have stopped on the roadside for more than half an hour to appreciate and photograph the beauty […]
Sand Dunes at Cape Sabastian, Oregon
From Bandon driving south on Pacific Highway 101 toward Brookings, we came across Cape Sabastian Viewpoint just off the road. It’s a beautiful beach with many rock formations but it was more than that we witnessed how the sand dunes were shaped by the strong […]
Harris Beach, Oregon
Harris Beach near Brookings, Oregon is the third beach we viewed and photographed the sunset scenes. It is a beautiful beach with very nice pre-sunset and sunset scenes. I just loved the soft light we witnessed.
Bandon Beach, Oregon
We arrived in Bandon Beach in late afternoon after touring the surprisingly beautiful Shore Acres State Park. The wind was strong making sand dunes photography interesting. The scenery of the beach at dusk was very attractive followed by the beautiful sunset scenes.

Heceta Head Lighthouse and Sunset
We just got back for a 10-day tour of Southern Oregon Coast, Redwood National Park, CA and Crater Lake National Park. Our first stop was Florence, Oregon to cover Heceta Head Lighthouse during day time and the sunset in late afternoon.
American Goldfinches at Sunflower Fields
Sunflower blossoms at McKee Beshers Wildlife Management Area near Poolesville, Maryland have all but gone and the seeds are maturing that attract the birds especially the American goldfinches. It’s challenging to capture good pictures of them because they are small in size and seem to […]
