I found this unique looking plant at a park in San Francisco (Golden Gate Park, to be exact). I love not only the symmetry but the geometry of this plant and it’s uniqueness because I’ve never seen anything else like this. This photo was asked to be used in as the cover of a children’s science book in South America. I didn’t use any Photoshop at all on this image. Just a tiny bit of Picasa! The plant is the same color as it appears in real life.

Red Rock National Park, California / Just a few minutes drive from my home. I’m glad I got this shot when I did. Since this shot, a large portion of the colorful rock has collapsed. It’s slowly deteriorating.

Yosemite Valley, California, taken in Northern California. / Canon Powershot SD200 Not just a great Valley… / but a shrine to human foresight, strength of granite, power of glaciers, the persistence of life, and the tranquility of the High Sierra. / Yosemite National Park, one of the first wilderness parks in the United States, is best known for its waterfalls, but within its nearly 1,200 square miles, you can find deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, a vast wilderness area, and much more. / / / /

This was taken on a bright sunny day in June in the dark woods that surround the lower falls. I was very satisfied with the lighting, which added a fairly dramatic effect. But actually the image came out even better than in it looked in person, which was a gift in itself. All content & images © Stephen Vecchiotti.

This dike was formed from underground faults and intersecting joint lines and can be found in many areas at Joshua Tree National Park. This photograph was taken across the road from the area known as Jumbo Rocks. Some information about Joshua tree: As erosion worked its way through this area it caused intusive splitting of the rocks which have become known as joints or dikes. Good examples of the joint system may be seen at Jumbo Rocks, Wonderland of Rocks, and Split Rock. Flash floods were believed to have caused erosion as they washed away the surface and left huge boulders which settled on top of each other. These are known as rockpiles. If you look carefully you can find a rockpile with a dike line like the one in this photograph and Joshua Tree National park has great expansive views making it very easy to create a nice photograph.

Upper Yosemite Fall as seen from across one of the meadows in early spring. Yosemite National Park, California, is perhaps the world’s best known example of a glacier-carved canyon. Yosemite’s giant waterfalls, towering cliffs, rounded domes, and massive monoliths make it a natural marvel and one of the most visited places on Earth. Yosemite National Park is located in California’s Eastern Sierras. It is comprised of Yosemite Valley, Tuolumne Meadows, Glacier Point, and other high country wilderness areas. One of the main attractions of Yosemite are its majestic waterfalls. The main falls are Yosemite, Bridalveil, Vernal, Nevada, and Illilouette. The best time to visit the falls is in May since the water is gushing. Bridalveil usually has a neat rainbow in the afternoon.

Lake Tenaya shows a wide perspective leading to the one of the major domes near Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite National Park, California. Tenaya Lake (as it is properly called) is located between Yosemite Valley and Tuolumne Meadows and is just one of many lakes or creeks around this beautiful drive on the back roads to Yosemite National Park. Its elevation is approximately 8200 feet. This photograph was taken from the southwest end and shows a very different perspective than taken from a bit higher elevation on the eastern side. This lake has always been referred to as the “Lake of the Shining Rocks.” Photo was taken using a 20mm lens set on the ground.

In the spring (late May,) Bridalveil Fall in Yosemite National Park is at its best! The water is coming down hard if the winter ice has done its melting and is amazing to photograph up close… Many afternoons you can see great colors in a rainbow near the bottom of the falls and the water spray is invigorating! The Bridalveil Creek can also provide a great photo opportunity as you walk up the viewpoint. However, there are many views of the valley and this great fall such as at or near the Wawona Tunnel where this photograph was taken early in the morning to capture the fog layters over the valley. You can also hike to Artist Point or travel to Bridalveil View which also shows Ribbon Falls. Some more Information (source Wiki) / The Ahwahneechee tribe believed that Bridalveil Fall was home to a vengeful spirit named Pohono which guarded the entrance to the valley, and that those leaving the valley must not look directly into the waterfall lest they be cursed. They also believed inhaling the mist of Bridalveil Fall would improve one’s chances of marriage.

This is a photograph taken of Vernal falls, Yosemite National Park from the top of the Mist trail. The Trail starts near Happy Isle and winds its way up along the Merced River. There are basically 3 stages of where to take photographs from. The first stage is from the wooden bridge. This gives you a really nice long view of the Merced River, some nice twists in the river, and a view from a distance of the falls. The second stage is about half way up the John Muir trailhead which allows you to venture out over some large boulders and get some awesome “rushing” water images and still see the falls. The last stage is near the top where this photograph was taken and allows you to get up close to the falls and see some of the moss and rocks and mist as the waterfall clearly exposes itself. Vernal Falls is the most dangerous of all the falls at Yosemite National Park. There are a lot of slippery rocks and moss even on the trail and some of the steps are wet. This entire hike is well worth it and remember to take photographs at each of the stages. At the end, you can also check out Emerald Pool and the Silver Apron. Photograph taken with a Canon Elan, 20mm lens, f11 at 2 secs.

A slightly confused trolley across the bay from the San Francisco city. This thing was missing a wheel and rusty as hell. Shot around 7:50 pm before the sun had gone down, a little experiment with my new ND400 Filter :) If you look extremely carefully the golden gate is on the horizon engulfed in the infamous fog that rolls in every single bloody day… / Settings Canon 40D, 17-85mm IS.

The Giant Redwood National Park, California, USA, contains the tallest living things on earth, evergreen trees that grow to 350 feet. For me personally, not the most beautiful tree, biggest isn’t always best, but it is pretty overwhelming and magical to walk through on one of the many popular trails that exist here, and to gaze upwards, a neck-breaking experience ! I feel they are best seen in the mist, adding an air of mystery ! / My fave trees ? The Scots Pine and the Silver Birch of course ! Shot on my Canon EOS 20D,mounted on tripod, f11, 1 sec, iso 100, auto wb, RAW file processed in Photomatix, single file pseudo HDR, adjusted in Adobe Camera RAW, then in CS3 I applied the Orton effect to emphasise the textures on the trunks, reducing the opacities for the final result.

Moving is always bittersweet for me, especially when its a far away move. Packing is not much fun, but the reward for me is always unpacking (there is always good with the bad)!! The hardest part of moving is leaving that which and those whom you love dearly behind… Yesterday I split up the ashes of Stedman our late and beloved Cocker Spaniel with my ex. We made a memorial for him here on the property and leaving both it and my garden beds is a little tough, as we have had so many good memories here. “Steady Freddy,” was his nickname, among many others!! Stedman died from an accidental death a little over two years ago. However, it’s our belief that Stedman left us, so that little Stevey Wonder Dawg could be saved from the streets and come into our lives. The saying, “When one door closes another one opens,” held true in this case. Another saying that comes to mind is that, “You get what you need when you need it, not when you want it.” Yesterday I decided to plant a flower on Stedman’s memorial site, since I have now removed his big heart stone and my small antique St. Francis statue. Sure enough, after one minute of looking, I stumbled across a beautiful variegated plant, which was incredibly named an “Exotic Angel Nectarine!” This little plant is splashed with incredible color, as if a painter dabbed brushes into different colors of bright, vibrant paint and lovingly shook those brushes onto green leaves. The predominent color is red – for the heart of course! My heart will always beat with Stedman deeply in it (along with the rest of my beloved buddies who have passed and now sky dance together). I’m a better person for all of the incredibly wonderful times that we had together!!! LOL – being the character that he was, he’d agree, I’m sure!! :)) This photograph was shot at the dog park in Huntington Beach, California with a Canon XT, 300mm zoom.
