Joe had said you can achieve vibrant colors on cloudy days, and to not necessarily focus on big landscapes. We came across a stream and I decided to try to hand capture a long exposure. I like the composition and end result despite not using a tripod.Jupiter

I took this photo on a LLT group hike led by Tony on April 23rd to see salamander eggs in the vernal pools of the Johnston preserve. The masses of salamander eggs in this photo appear to be floating in a reflected blue sky. I think it captures the ghost-like, alien magic of the egg masses.

Near the spot where I took this picture of the Ravine, I met three hopelessly lost elderly hikers. Once they got over my fearsome appearance with my face wrapped in a Moroccan wool shawl against the day’s cold, they were relieved to find that I had a map on my iPhone and could show them the way back to their car.After the Spring Rain
