The end of summer in Chico has brought colorful sunrises and sunsets against the hills and fields of golden grass and wild oaks. It's as reliable as the bounce back into the upper 90s after a week of cooler temps.

We are starting to prep for the Open Studio Art Tours, planning promotions and ordering prints in. Those weekends in October are some of the best times to get out and see everything in the local art community. We can't wait!

Not every landscape is green.

Some of my favorite places to photograph are the desert—where the light, textures, and wide-open views create something completely different. These shots from Joshua Tree and Zion are a reminder that beauty doesn't have to be lush to leave an impression.

The desert has a way of slowing you down, encouraging you to look a little closer, and appreciate the details you might otherwise miss.

Which landscape do you prefer—mountains, forests, lakes, or the desert?

Storm clouds, wildflowers, and a meadow lit up by a break in the sky—sometimes nature does all the work.

This was one of those moments where the light only lasted a few minutes, transforming the entire landscape before disappearing again. It's a reminder that some of the best views don't stick around for long, which makes capturing them even more rewarding.

This image is now available as a fine art print, ready to bring a little bit of the outdoors into your home or office. If you're looking for a piece that captures the beauty and unpredictability of nature, this one is a favorite of mine.

Send me a message or visit my gallery to see available sizes and print options.

Back-to-school season always feels like the unofficial end of summer—even if the forecast says we'll be sweating for a while longer.

I'm looking back on some of my favorite places from the season, starting with this waterfall. There's nothing quite like getting outside, exploring somewhere new, and bringing home photos that remind you of the adventure.

Wishing everyone a great start to the new school year, and here's to making the most of the rest of these long summer days.

Happy National Cat Day! 🐾

We all think our cats secretly live exciting lives when we're not home.

Apparently mine is out riding giant tuna, get his nails done, exploring distant worlds, and saving civilizations before making it back in time for dinner.

Sounds about right. 😸

Show me your favorite cat photos in the comments!

Back this week from our first time in the Banff and Jasper area in Alberta, Canada. Endless opportunities to explore and get out and see wild blue lakes, glaciers, great hikes and the Canadian Rockies feel endless when you are within them. Plus, major bonus, Mason, Delaney and Kendal made it as well!
