DEER
Once my knees are shot from bicycling...hunting will be my next obsession. These photos were taken by my friend Annette. Although she won't tell me where the photos were taken I will assume the secret spot is somewhere near Hastings, MN. The gun barrel belongs to a 1400 Remington 20 ha. The deer photos were taken by a motion camera.

Libby Dam 2010
Libby Dam is located in Northwest Montana. The 422 feet tall, 3055 feet long dam holds back the waters of Lake Koocanusa which supplies water for the Kootenai River. The dam was dedicated in 1975.For bicyclists, the best part about this beautiful area is Hwy 37. This secondary highway is 68 miles long and stretches from Eureka to Libby Montana. Hwy 37 has a wide shoulder and several pull out areas where one can stop to rest and take photos. Libby Dam features picnic tables, restrooms, and drinking water which makes it a cool place to have lunch and rest. Hwy 37 is not flat. The hwy is hilly and curvy as it hugs Lake Koocanusa and the Kootenai River. Traffic is almost non-existent which is the ultimate dream come true for bicyclists.
For more photos of this area check out the following posts: "Lake Koocanusa" from July 27, 2006; "Mighty River" and "Libby Dam" from August 2, 2006.

King's Canyon & Sequoia National Parks
"Pictures don't do it justice" is a popular phrase when photographing interpreted beautiful scenery. When taking photos of the giant sequoia trees in King's Canyon and Sequoia National Parks this phrase holds true. The giant sequoias are so massive that it is nearly impossible to capture an entire tree in one frame. These photos were taken over Thanksgiving weekend 2009.

PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY
Nothing is better than a scenic drive. Typically my favorite scenic drives involve the back roads of Montana and the southern landscapes of Utah. These routes are not well known and make the scenic drives that more enjoyable. It's nice to enjoy places that are beautiful, pristine, and magnificent that only the locals know about.
The Pacific Coast Highway is the opposite of this. Often mentioned as one of the worlds most scenic highways this curvy breathtaking roads treks the cliffs of California along the Pacific Ocean. The beauty of this highway is no secret. Simply stated, every turn on this road is awesome. With waters as blue as the sky, if not bluer, the oceans waves crash on rocky cliffs and recede back into its own depths gathering momentum for its next watery assault on the beach and cliffs.
These photos were taken early December 2010 south of San Francisco.
