Forcing Bulbs to Bloom Indoors
This time of year can be so hectic with the holidays quickly approaching. But, every year I try to plan ahead so that I have some beautiful, fragrant blooms to enjoy during winter. I decided to spend a little 'me' time planting some narcissus bulbs (also known as paperwhites) in glasses to force them to bloom inside. It's a project I do annually usually in mid-October.
Gorgeous Waterfalls Everywhere!
Small or huge, there are gorgeous waterfalls everywhere! Some may be a bit hidden or secluded requiring a hike in order to view them. But, each has its own personality and allure. There are so many waterfalls to explore and photograph.
Autumn Waterfalls Workshop/Retreat
Taking some time to look through photos and discovered this post from my Waterfalls & More workshop/retreat from a couple of years ago. Let me tell you, it was fantastic! The colors were amazing! The water was flowing! And, we had a fantastic group of women attending the workshop in October. The Northern California mountains in autumn are a beautiful sight!
Photographing Shorebirds on the California Coast | Northern California Fine Art Photographer
One early, foggy morning before anyone else was up, I decided to go down to the beach to enjoy the environment and take a couple of landscape photos just to document being there. Coffee, beach chair, and camera in hand, I headed over the dune toward the waters’ edge. That's when I knew I'd be photographing shorebirds!

Autumn! Like many of you, it's my favorite time of year. After a warm summer (okay, HOT), the cooling temperatures are welcome. Crisp mornings and cool evenings with lovely, comfortable days. They're the best! But those changing colors are what I really look forward to in fall.
