Forests of the Northern California State Parks
Surrounding oneself with nature is a sure way to renew, de-stress, and relax. That is exactly how I felt while visiting the beautiful coast and forests of the Northern California State Parks last summer. Because it is a bit remote in many areas, there is no cell coverage and no internet.

Sandhill Cranes in the Valley | Nature in Northern California

We Went for the Eagles | Northern California Nature Photographer
I was inspired to seek out and photograph bald eagles during the winter months when they were known to be seen in Northern California. Given that their numbers were in jeopardy a few years ago, it is so rewarding to know that efforts to assist improving their numbers has been successful.

Macro Photography in the Redwoods

The redwood forests of Northern California are bursting with opportunities for both of these and everything in between. Join experienced workshop mentors Nadeen Flynn Photography and Amy Ames Photography for this amazing adventure!
