In a world of so many great photographers and writers, I am venturing into some unknown territories, leaving comfort zones, finally very willing to practice the art of seeing. By maintaining the practice of posting daily photos, I hope to continue learning about the possibilities that I trust are out there for the taking.
Out for a morning shoot and some first HDR later in the day.

The progression of light on yesterday morning’s hike BEFORE I got the flu yesterday around noon. I knew I had no energy and felt way off on the way up the hill but once this glorious red-pink light began I felt momentarily high.
At this point in our hike (photo below) we were headed back with San Jacinto behind us. The color was really nice in front of us but thank goodness I turned back and spotted the pink over SJ. I turned around and ran back up the hill for a better vantage point, knowing the color would only last for a minute.
Suprise color this morning on our hike.
Jen, just before she headed down the hill to her car, as I stayed and shot some more.
I ran outside as the color started. The first 15 frames were shot with my camera still in manual focus…hence the first 15 frames were all out of focus. Thankfully, at the height of the color, I realized my error and switched to auto focus just in time.
Taken tonight with a Canon 7D fitted with a 17-55mm lens. Basically this photo is untouched. The color has not been enhanced.

Off to lead a MHCC hike, but had to get up one photo from this morning’s total lunar eclipse!
Don't know if I like this moon better or not?
Lone fearless Coot.
I went out to shoot the moon but couldn't see it........until my phone rang, and "Spotter" called to tell me he was driving to the golf store (again) and asked, "Had I seen the orange moon low in the sky?"
Here is a link on how to photograph the eclipse.
Here is a link to what I’m going to get up real early to photograph tomorrow morning.
