Fall color along the North Fork of the American River, Auburn, California.
This was from a recent trip down to the American River. I used my wide-angle lens on this photo, which is something I don’t do very often. I think it’s a good idea to experiment with different lenses whenever possible though.
My favorite lens is still my 80-200mm zoom lens. I doubt that will ever change! What is your favorite lens?
Whitewater kayaking the North Fork of the American River, near Auburn, California.
Are you looking for something to do this spring in the Auburn area? This area offers tons of things to do, but here is one suggestion. Get your kayaks and rafts out and paddle the North Fork of the American River.
This fork of the American River is well-known for it’s beautiful scenery and offers some of the best class IV and V whitewater rafting and kayaking in California!

The Foresthill Bridge (California's tallest bridge) stretches over the beautiful North Fork of the American River, Auburn, CA.
Auburn is awesome, especially in Autumn!
Join me this coming Sunday for an all day photo shoot down into the American River Canyon and in Old Town Auburn. See why Auburn is becoming more of a tourist destination and less of a place to just stop on the way to Lake Tahoe and Reno.
I love to share my town any chance I get and that is one reason why I am offering my American River/Old Town Auburn Photo Tour & Workshop.
Here are a few tidbits about Auburn:
I am offering this Photo Tour & Workshop at a sweet 2 for 1 price. For just $125.00, you and a friend (spouse, relative etc.) can enjoy a whole day with me (includes lunch), honing your photography skills and learning more about what makes Auburn so awesome!
Hurry and book before it’s too late. The deadline is this Wednesday!
See more images of Auburn.
Thanks for visiting!

Active Baby Boomer Peg Challender kayaking on Lake Clementine, Auburn, California.
Could I possibly be dreaming of warmer weather?

This photo of the Foresthill Bridge in Auburn, CA was taken last month, during our Big Sierra Snowstorm. This bridge crosses the American River and connects Auburn to the tiny town of Foresthill.
One of the most popular searches on this Photo Blog is for the Foresthill Bridge (also known as the Auburn-Foresthill Bridge). I can understand why. Not only is it the tallest bridge in California, but it’s the 3rd tallest bridge of it’s kind in the United States.
This bridge was featured in the movie XXX and has become quite the base jumping spot. To see more of our images of this famous bridge, visit our Auburn Stock Photo Gallery, or you can do a search for the Foresthill Bridge on this Blog.
We will be adding more images of this Auburn Icon to our Website in the near future, so be sure to check back often.
Have a great weekend everyone!
