New photo gallery: BIG SUR

During a holiday visit from John’s Mom and Bill, we visited the great scenery and marine life of Big Sur and the Monterey area.  Here are some nature-focused photos from the trip.

New photo gallery: LASSEN

In the midst of preparing to move from Davis back to our treasured home in the Berkeley Hills, we managed to squeeze in a short backpacking trip to Lassen Volcanic National Park.  It was our first road trip in the new car we had just bought (thanks to the cash for clunkers program).

Two new photo galleries: DAVIS and MENDOCINO

We have a pair of small photo pages to share:  First, we finally managed to post a few pictures from our current home turf of Davis, CA.  And second, there are also a few shots from a trip we took with Amanda’s family to the northern California coast (Mendocino and Humboldt counties).  Both new pages are listed from our Golden State Galleries page.

New photo gallery series: EAST AFRICA

I’m back from an insect-collecting expedition to Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Kenya.  And Amanda was able to join me for the first two countries.  Check out the galleries and get a sense of each country’s unique flavor.

New photo gallery: OCTOBER HIKES

HERE you can find pictures from our recent short backpacking trip near Lake Tahoe, and from a day hike closer to our new home of Davis, CA.  I’ve also added a new page with a “hall of fame” containing our favorite photo galleries of all time.

New photo gallery: SEQUOIA

A week of backpacking in the strikingly beautiful Sierra mountains around Mineral King, in Sequoia National Park.  Take a look!

New photo gallery: REDWOOD PARKS

In this gallery you can see our recent trips to hike beneath these giants of the Pacific coast.

One big Berkeley gallery

We’ve added some new pictures to our last two Berkeley postings, and merged it all into one big gallery.  It will be hard to leave this house as we head to Davis, but we’ll be coming back often to visit our friends Elissa and Lester who are taking it over for us.

New photo gallery: BARCELONA

After our family visits in Michigan and New York (the latter which we haven’t posted a gallery from, but a few pictures John took of a young relative still made it online), John did a quick hop across the Atlantic for a conference in Barcelona, Spain… and managed to get a few pictures.

New photo gallery: NORTHERN MICHIGAN

After spending some time with Amanda’s family in Marquette, we stopped at the Pictured Rocks National Seashore, and then John spent some time with each of his parents in the U.P. and Charlevoix. Photos this way.
