Capturing the moment.

Capturing the moment.
On a misty morning, I woke up to see this rose bush with a good amount of morning dew. It looked like it had rained overnight, but this moisture was solely from the morning foggy conditions. We are currently suffering from drought conditions in California, so I guess I should be happy for any moisture evening if it’s just a misty morning dew.
This image of raindrops on the grapes comes from a recent harvest photography session at R. Buoncristiani Vineyards on Wohler Road in the Russian River Valley. It was a picking that started around three a.m. and continued until about nine a.m. There was an early morning misting that settled on some grapes left over from the harvest.
This lily pond is located in the back garden of the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico in San Juan. It has a rich ecosystem with coy and lots of vegetation. I was drawn by the multi-layered environment that it held.
This low lake reflection is a reminder of the drought we currently face in California. This is a lake in the Foothills Regional Park in Windsor. It’s at the lowest level I have ever seen it in the years I have been hiking here.
