A large dog at the dog park begging for treats from my wife with an intense look on its face. That nose was good for something. This was in the spring of 2003 and I think his name was Spike.

Pink and red tulips reaching towards the sun in the early morning in a garden.

Red sky at night, sailors delight. The beautiful sunset along the Oregon coast displays the heat of the day in a gentle mist along the horizon. The temperature was very hot in the summer of 2009 on the west coast.

A capture of the famous El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. My apologies to the master Ansel Adams who's work has inspired so many thousands of fine photographers around the world. A beautiful day in a most beautiful place.
