Unlike the other bears in this park that are supposedly used to humans, this one did not like having his picture taken.

Kings River Kings Canyon National Park

One of the six species of squirrels in Sequoia National Park.

Last week, James posted "Clear and Cold" (flic.kr/p/2nPoFbC), and when I saw it, I knew that somewhere in the archives, I had photographed "something similar" and all I could remember was that it was "in the mountains."

To me, that's the Sierras although it could have been the Cascades, the Olympic Range, or the Tetons. Even if the shot isn't that good, I want credit for finding it within 10 minutes. "Sequoia!" Yes, Kings River? Close. A stream?

So, for the first time, I gave a title to the image which was helpful. These are rocks in a stream bed off the Kern River that runs through Sequoia National Park. Well, so does the Kings (no apostrophe in the River or the NP) and I've dipped my tootsies in both.

So here, from 2013, shot handheld with an SX10 which shows it did have some abilities, is my attempt at Nature's Abstracts" is rocks at some river in the West. Hints of blue from the sky, green from the overhanging trees.

After walking around all day at Sequoia National Park looking for nests, etc to photograph, came back to the lodge for dinner and observed this nest on the Lodge building!

While reprocessing a few of my astronomical images I decided to give my Sequoia Milky Way a second shot as well:

This time I stacked 5 images of 120s @ ISO 3200 for the sky - giving it a total exposure of 10 minutes.

This longer exposure helps to enhance the colors and allows a more natural look of the Milky Way with all its incredible hues.

As a lazy solution, to keep workload reasonable, this newly processed sky was fit into the already existing foreground of my earlier version of this image which can be found here: flic.kr/p/vtAtqU

I hope you enjoy this new version as much as I do...

Sequoia National Park

On Saturday February 8th, 2025, the theme in group "Smile on Saturday! :)" is "TWO-GETHER". For this topic I would like you to take a picture of two similar animals, plants or objects, close to each other; PEOPLE ARE NOT ALLOWED. It's not necessary that the items are entirely identical, just similar.

Sequoia National Park

Dramatic light is filtered through gaps in storm clouds. I shot this 25 miles into the backcountry, far from the reach of any trail.

The title of the shot comes from the spotlight on the peaks, which spilled off just a bit to the left, and from the forest fire happening in the area that made for some interesting conditions.

Thanks for any and all feedback!

All the best--

I was hiking through a glorious grove of giant sequoias in Sequoia National Park on an overcast day when the sun decided to make one last peek before it settled over the horizon. I wasn't really prepared for a photo so I scrambled for a shot before the shining light disappeared.

Shot with a Canon Elan 7; Fuji Velvia 50 film; Canon 24-85mm lens.
