The first falls encountered along the Emery Creek Trail, near Chatsworth, Georgia. The trail follows the creek (with about a dozen crossings) before coming to this falls, which is the first in a series of five major falls and numerous cascades. Spring is finally coming to the mountains, though the understory leaves have yet to appear for the most part (lots of leaves in the tree tops).

Marshall Beach, Presidio of San Francisco.

What I like most about the beaches in California is the combination of smooth sand and rock formations, adding a lot of character. This particular beach is located in the Presidio of San Francisco.

For Christmas this year my family and I took a trip up to Jackson Gap (near Dutchman Peak) with some friends. When we left home it was foggy and cold, but up on the mountain there was nothing but glorious sunshine. It was warm too, t-shirt weather. Just before packing up to head home I snapped this shot of the Red Buttes Wilderness. Enjoy!
