Sunrise in Cuyamaca

"Sunrise in Cuyamaca" The sun rises and crests above the hills overlooking a meadow near Lake Cuyamaca. As the sunlight spills across the saddle of the hills it casts a golden glow across the shrubs. #Sunrise #LakeCuyamaca #Cuyamaca #SanDiego #Landscape

Sunset over Ortega

Sunset over Ortega Yesterday I found this delightful spot looking down a valley in the Santa Ana Mountains along Ortega Highway. I'll be coming back for more, whether it's sunrise or sunset, and hopefully with a few clouds in the sky. #California #Mountains #Sunset #Outdoors #GetOutside #Outside #Hiking #Ortega #Landscape #OCPhotog #LandscapePhotography #Photography

"Lost in the Desert" . Quite literally I had lost this image from the Mojave Preserve on my hard drive and just rediscovered it. After a summer that was pretty quiet photo-wise and real busy work-wise I'm looking forward to shooting and sharing more often. . . . Gear used Camera: Canon 6D Lens: 24-105 F/4L Tripod: ManFrotto 055 with X-Pro ball head Bag: A LowePro FastPack BP 250 to carry all my gear . . . #Sunset #Landscape #landscape_joy #viewbug #Photography #CanonUSA #Canon6D #MeAndMyManfrotto #LoweProBags #PicOfDay #California #unlimitedadventure #awesome_earthpix #awesomeearthpix #discoverglobe #TheGlobeWanderer #Mojave #Desert #MojaveDesert #MojaveNationalPreserve #LiveBravely @awesome.earth.pix @nppemasterclass #OptOutsideAndExplore #instagram #LiveBravely #unlimitedadventure #TheGlobeWanderer

Mojave Cross

Today I first give thanks to my creator the Lord God Almighty, as all that I have was provided by Him. Things that I am thankful for: My wife and my family, the nation I live in with all its imperfect freedoms and liberties as well as the veterans who have kept it that way, my church and its pastors for teachings about Christ and Salvation, photography for the passion and joy it brings me as a creative outlet.

Sunrise at Hole-in-the-Wall

Early morning at Hole-in-the-Wall As the sun rose behind me the light fell beautifully across this rock formation in the Mojave National Preserve. This was my third visit to the #MNP after attending an @NPPEMasterClass earlier this year. #OCPhotog #Landscape #LandscapePhotography #Photography #Mojave #MojaveNationalPreserve #Desert #MojaveDesert #California #GetOutside #Wilderness #Exploring #Camping #Hole-in-the-Wall
