Ultra Lite Over Redlands - Judith Sparhawk

To get out of the house I went for a walk on a road that I sometime bird, the road just beyond the Redlands Airport. It wasn't very birdy today, but it was a nice walk, and several planes flew in and flew out of the airport during that time. This little Ultra Lite took off and flew around the area for awhile, not flying too high, so I was able to get a few shots of it. At this point I was at the edge of the Santa Ana River bank. There was only a small stream of water, despite the recent rains. 3/23/20 My website: www.sparhawkphotography.com

Snow Above Redlands

Winter 2017 has been a good year for rain and, therefore, snow in the mountains. After years of drought, it is such a joy to see snow up above and green grass on our hillsides. This shot shows orange groves in Redlands.

Redlands' R

Snow at last! After years of drought, the el nino year has finally delivered sufficient rain (and snow in the mountains) to make it really look like winter. This is the Redlands "R" as seen from the orange groves.

The Church at Twilight

I was out this evening with my camera, and as it was getting dark, I noticed how pretty the First Congregational Church was here in Redlands, CA. It was lighted and gave off a beautiful glow. Of course I had to take a few shots of it.
