Nature Photography in California Central Valley

I'm a little excited because I will be seeing a photography exhibit about the landscape of the central valley. I looove taking nature shots, landscapes, etc, it's my favorite kind of photography. I'm fortunate to live close to these mountains, where I could go up and get away from it all... and experience a sort of "Date With God", I say that because some vistas really make you thank him out loud and you constantly talk to Him as nature engulfs you. I don't mean to sound like a Hallmark card, lol, but I wish you could experience it for yourself. I have mentioned before that I have had moments while taking photos in the middle of the Giant Redwoods... it feels like you are in a dreamworld, you feel like a magic little person when standing next to these giants...

Anyway, here is an article in today's newspaper to show you what I'm talking about

The work of Larry Lewis will be on display at 210



Better yet... check out his website for yourself:

Oh my stars, Carol!! No wonder you're excited!! I'm so happy for you that you get to go to the exhibit! And what amazing beauty! I swear I'd be moved to tears if I saw it in person.

Isn't it??

I tell you, I lived in Southern California and loved living near Disneyland, Universal Studios, Hollywood, etc..... now I don't live close to that, but it's okay, because I live closer to this


Foggy days in the park are amazing. It's very quiet and mysterious. Sometimes, a deer will appear or even a baby bear. If a walk here does not calm you down, I don't know what does.



In this picture you can see how tiny we people are compared to these Giant Grandfather Trees...


A beautiful stream in the forest....


Riding up the mountain does not take too long, but sometimes, it feels like it does because you feel like constantly stopping the car to get the camera out and take shots... like this one

BOY I wish I could go too. That is some great work.

looks kind of like LHOTP from the t.v show..

Here are 3 of my favorite photos from Larry Lewis
