Back from a vacation up the California coast, birding and exploring the central coastal areas. This shot is from north of Morro Bay, approaching the town of San Simeon. The pier in the far distance is at the W.R. Hearst State Park, across from Hearst Castle. This is such a beautiful area, something to see everywhere you look! 9/26/21 www.sparhawkphotography.com
One night we went out at dusk looking for Lesser Nighthawks flying over the water at this area outside of Portal, Arizona. When we arrived, I saw the beginnings of this beautiful sunset over the mountains. I stood on the bank above the pond, saw nighthawks and bats flying around us, and was awed by the colors in the monsoon skies. Every direction I looked was flooded with pink--it was a magical moment! 8/28/21 www.sparhawkphotography.com
Yesterday's post was of Tyrese, hoop dancer. This is of Kailayne, his younger sister, who was also very talented in the hoop dance. Both of these were meant to act as informal portraits, rather than showing the dancing itself. Tomorrow I will show the pair dancing together. They were dancing down by Oak Creek Canyon, Sedona, Arizona. 8/13/21 www.sparhawkphotography.com
