Photo – Abstract Aspen grove, near Bridgeport, CA
This abstract was created from the same original photograph of the Aspen grove I have been featuring over the last few weeks. I used the Spherize Distorting Filter in PhotoShop to get this effect. This doesn’t work well on all subjects, but with a little experimenting, you will find what works best.
Happy experimenting!

Photo – Abstract Aspen grove near Bridgeport, CA
Although fall has pretty much done it’s thing, I’ve decided that I’m not done creating fall images! Here is a very abstract version of an Aspen grove photo I featured a few weeks back.

Photo – View of the soaking pools on Buckeye Creek
Here is another shot of Buckeye Hot Spring. This photo shows what the soaking pools actually look like. Posting this makes me want to jump in the car and go there right now!
This wraps up my photo essay on our fall colors trip last October.

Photo – Buckeye Hot Spring on Buckeye Creek, Toiyabe National Forest
This is one of our favorite hot springs in California. It is located on the creek, clothing is optional and you can often have it all to yourself. Plus, it is a short drive or walk from Buckeye Campground.

Photo – Our camp at Buckeye Campground
We made base camp at beautiful Buckeye Campground, located along Buckeye Creek in the Toiyabe National Forest. That put us in close proximity to the things we wanted to do and places we wanted to explore.
This turned out to be another one of our favorite camping spots. The camp sites were huge and only a couple of them were occupied when we were there. The fall color was intense, as you can see in this photo. And there were several great hiking trails nearby to choose from.
And best of all, Buckeye Hot Spring was just down the road!

Photo – View of Mono Lake from the Cottonwood Canyon Road
The road we were traveling on turned into the Cottonwood Canyon Road, which eventually led us to Mono Lake.
We drove around to the tourist side of the lake, with plans of doing a sunset paddle in our kayaks. We had wanted to do this for a long time. Unfortunately, our timing was off. The winds are fierce in the afternoon. We could hardly get out of the car, let alone do a paddle!
We did a lot of planning and researching for this trip, but we failed to find out when the best times to paddle Mono Lake are. Next time we visit that area, we will paddle at sunrise.

Photo – Bodie State Historical Park, as seen from the Bodie Ghost Town Trail
From the Masonic Trail, we intersected Aurora Canyon Road (also known as the Bodie Ghost Town Trail) and dropped down into Bodie.
Bodie, California is located in the eastern slopes of the Sierra, close to the Nevada border and is known as the best preserved ghost town in California. It was once a gold-mining town with 10000 residents way back in 1879.
We will be adding this photo of Bodie, as well as photos taken in the park from our previous trip, to our stock photo galleries soon.
