Final Day Of Shooting On Saipan. Amazing Day. Lots I Would Love To Share But I Can't. I'll Announce More

Near Napa Valley, California. Perfect road trip... Even for work.

Snow Flowers? I have never seen anything like this before. The temperature last night was 6 degrees. My daughter and I went for a hike around noon and the temperature was 27 degrees. I kept seeing these odd white shapes on the ground and initially thought it was trash. Finally, I knelt for a closer look and realized these were ice formations. Beautiful, delicate ice ribbons at the bottom of a certain plant - no other plant. All were found with about 10 - 15 feet of the same altitude. When we hiked up hill just a bit, there was nothing. They look as if a cake maker pipped them onto the base of the plant. So many curving layers, winding around as if windblown or somehow gently forced from the plant. Anyone have any idea how these are formed?

Sassafras in Hollywood. Great place to hang with friends. #travel #happyhour

I had just enough time on a recent DC trip to do one quick walk through the National Mall. A beautiful night. All pics taken with the Samsung Note 8. Love this phone! #production #photography #travel #adventure #sunset

#baldeagle near Azusa. I left earlier than normal for a scout today. Wasn't able to get any great shots but these are still fun. There were two chicks and a busy mom and dad. #nature #eagle #adventure #photography #sonyalpha #sony #wildlife https://www.instagram.com/p/BvQVyDzFLtt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p792kq88ujl6

Climate March

Keeva and I went to the #climatemarch today. It was fantastic. The most amazing thing...the #waterprotectors . You know this group of native Americans from the #nodapl protests in #standingrock. There were thousands of people marching for the same thing, all in unity, all doing our thing. But when the Standing Rock group arrived, things were real. I looked down at the end of the march, our destination at a refinery, and saw the Standing Rock group face to face with the security of Tesoro refinery. I said to Keeva, "This is a march, THAT is a protest." She said, "Do you want to go?" "Yes." She said, "Let's go." As we made our way to the front, we were pretty far back, the Standing Rock group were returning. Thousands parted instantly to make room and let them through. Their intensity was palpable. I suddenly realized that I was there to show support, the Water Protectors were there fighting for their lives. It was different game, one with real stakes. We've become so used to corporations taking away our rights, feeding us misinformation, making us think something absurd is actually normal, that we aren't even sure how to fight or what to fight for. We spend our time fighting each other over stupid, trivial, nonsense. The Water Protectors were on another level o reality. It was impressive. They made their presence known and many thousands of people could tell that there is even more at stake than our bottled water society can comprehend. It was a good day. This was my fourth march and seeing people in massive numbers rally together in a positive, yet powerful way, is encouraging.

What a great day hiking in Oregon! My goal was to get to the Columbia River Gorge, more specifically Oneonta Gorge. I soon found out that the river had recently experienced a flash flood which caused a massive log jam. I was hoping to hike further up the river so that will have to happen another day. Plus, the water was cold on my toes! I really hate that. Luckily, very near by are other world reknowned waterfalls and remarkable landscapes. I've included a few here. Enjoy!
