Fall Colors near me in California

I took these six photos on a walk in my neighborhood in Stockton, California. There are some beautiful and vivid fall colors to be spotted here. The weather is great: cool and sunny.

Views of a Fall Day in the California Delta

I took these ten images on a recent visit to the Sacramento River Delta Region. The wildlife and sunset images that I took are in the Staten Island Preserve, near Walnut Grove, California.

I always enjoy visiting The Delta. It intrigues me with sights and sounds of wildlife on the Pacific Flyway.

After the Rain a Burst of Color in Late Fall

 

Here are ten photos that I took following several days of cold, rainy weather. I captured these images around the neighborhood where I live in Stockton, California. Sometimes you don’t have to go far to discover beautiful scenes of nature.

Here are some pictures I took on a recent road trip to California’s Eastern Sierra. The trip started in Stockton, California, going east on CA Highway 120 to US Highway 395 ending in Bishop, California. The return trip was on CA Highway 108 over the Sonora Pass to Stockton. Stops and picture taking included Obsidian Dome near Mammoth Lakes, Owens River Valley, Bishop Creek Canyon, and the eastern slope of CA HWY 108. Most of the pictures were taken in Inyo and Mono Counties. For me, it’s always a delight and joy to see the brilliant fall colors in the Eastern Sierra.

Last Leaves to Fall

From my balcony I took four pictures of the last remaining leaves to fall from the tree outside. It was cloudy so I was able to take these leaves with diffuse, soft lighting. I darken the background so allow the leaves to stand out.

Happy New Year 2018!

Here are eight pictures that I took of fall color along a road trip to Lake Tahoe from Stockton, CA. This time of year there are beautiful strands of aspens at their peak of color along California Highways 88 and 89 in the Eastern Sierra . I enjoyed the road trip to see the awesome colors of autumn almost every year.

Here are four pictures I took of fall color on a drive along Highway 88 from Stockton, California to Carson City, Nevada. It was a beautiful, sunny day with lots of color foliage. I love to take this route in October of each year.
