Just a quick posting today….we were fortunate to spend an hour watching and photographing a pair of marmots on our recent Sierra trip. Gosh these guys are cute, aren’t they?

Another one from the Eastern Sierra…this one taken at sunset in the “Buttermilks” west of Bishop.

Here’s a couple more from the Eastern Sierra……the lupine fields were amazing, especially along Division Creek. These look a little pixellated (and the first one over-sharpened) because I only have the small emailed files on this computer. I’m in the process now of migrating four days worth of photos from my laptop onto my working pc, so more to come soon.

Enjoy!

Howdy Folks!

I just returned from four days of photographing and exploring the landscapes now exploding with wildflowers in the Owens Valley and Eastern Sierra. The 5 a.m. mornings were brutal on this night owl, but bearing witness to the sweet morning light as it pushed back the night was worth every second of lost sleep.  I was lucky enough to photograph truly amazing displays of wild iris, lupine, paintbrush, fiery red mariposa lilies, and many many more.

Jenn was shooting a wedding this weekend and didn’t get to go, but after seeing my pictures, she’s putting in for some well earned vacation days and we’re heading back a week from Friday! I can never get enough of that place….obviously she had to twist my arm….not!

Stay wild,

Heather

(Only one photo for now, as the rest are still on the laptop. More to come shortly.)
