Granite Sentinels,
The weathered and ragged granite of the Alabama Hills seems very different from the smooth, light gray, and polished granite of the High Sierra - but it is the same, the difference is time.

Forms and Shapes,
Sometimes it pays to drive up a wash and see what happens. There are hidden gems throughout the desert. Not a bad place to spend a night.

Believe it or not - it’s May 1st and there is a Poppy super bloom happening along highway 138 and around the Poppy Reserve! The grass has dried and a rain caused second bloom has popped. From west of Nenach to east of the Reserve - well worth a visit. Not super photogenic, but a great opportunity to take an umbrella for some shaded closeups! Acres and acres of gold!

First dark - stars, Orion, and the Boot Arch. Was a mighty fine evening.
The iPhone night mode is pretty nuts. This is hand held for 10 seconds, pure tech magic.
