Beauty right outside my office window. We enjoy many a California sunset from our hilltop perch in Petaluma that is populated with fruit trees and even a small field of poppies and lavender. View the rest of this gallery here.

I love my Nikon D200 camera for many reasons. One great reason is that the camera works (and meters!) with legendary Nikon AI and AI-S manual focus lenses. This is one of my first photos taken with a 25-year old 35mm f/2 AIS lens that I purchased on EBay. The color and sharpness speaks for itself. Another upgrade to my lens collection.

We took a nice walk through Helen Putnam Park, on Petaluma's West Side. There are some nice panorama shots here, here, and here.
