Fresno, Ca.
Remember, when your man comes home from a hard day's work, always have a drink ready for him, and dinner prepared.
Backyard non sequitur.
Wandering through Fresno, California I happened upon this scene. The horseman at left appears to be a depiction (prototype?) of David of Sassoon who is an Armenian folk hero. The figure lurking in the shadows at right turns out to be President John F. Kennedy.
I posted an earlier view of this, but I also like this one. For years I've taken my kids up to Jack Ass Meadows and there is a dome up there that we used as a landmark to show when we were close to the campground. I always called it the Fresno Half Dome. Then I found out that this is really the Fresno Dome and felt a little bit like a dummy. I found out that the other dome is called Bear Dome. Oops. Here is a link to a picture of Bear Dome: www.flickr.com/photos/35900399@N07/18070629039/in/photoli...
If you get in the Bass Lake area, I like to explore the scenic byway. Road 632 off of Highway 41 goes miles back into the high Sierra and has a lot of views that are worthy of taking pictures. This was taken from the Kelty Campground. Definitely a worthy place to explore.
I took a drive out through the foothills around Fresno and looped around to Pine Flat Reservoir on the way back to town. I didn't see may poppies like I was hoping for, but there were a few areas full of flowers like this shot. The sky became darker as I got near the Sierras, but the clouds were pretty awesome. There was still a lot of water coming down from the higher elevations in the creeks in this area. Last year at this time, the creeks were dry. Made for a nice drive.
This was taken in the foothills outside of Fresno. I loved the view with these two solitary oak trees on this farm property. If you look at the background, you can see that the Sierras finally are getting some snow. Lets hope that it keeps on coming.
I went out for a drive into the Fresno foothills looking to see if the wild flowers had started blooming yet. A few areas had blooms but there wasn't too much color yet. I was shooting across the street from the this location and almost missed this shot. We had a big rain come through on Friday and there was still a nice water pool in this farm. I went over hoping to get a nice reflection off of the pool. It pays to check out what is behind you sometimes.
If you look closely at the mountain in the background, you can see that there is some yellow/orange color. The poppies were just starting to bloom when I went on this drive and the color on the mountains is just starting to show. Unfortunately I'm going to Death Valley (or fortunately), so I might miss the bloom. But this is supposed to be an epic year for flowers in Death Valley and I can't wait until we get there. The road trip starts tomorrow and the weather looks like it will be fantastic. I can't wait to share my pictures. Hope you all have a great weekend and week ahead.
On a recent trip outside of Fresno, I came across this old barn that wasn't in the best of shape. I love exploring old buildings that have been abandoned. The character and textures of these old structures just seem to draw me in to them. I snuck onto the property and took a few images of the barn hoping to get a black and white image out of the trip. This was the winner.
