A few years ago, I taught an Adult Education class “How to Capture Great Travel and Adventure Photos - Right in Your Own Backyard,” at Placer High School in Auburn.

I took this photo of one of my students, Melanie Anderson, viewing the Foresthill Bridge, during the photo workshop portion of our class. We spent 3 hours photographing at the Confluence of the North and Middle Forks of the American River. 

Visit our Auburn Stock Photo Gallery to see more photos of the area. You can also see more Auburn photos by clicking on the Auburn category on this blog.

Pond and Reflections

There are a lot of ponds in the Auburn area, but this is one of my favorites.

Many common species of birds seem to claim it as one of their favorites as well. But, every year in the spring, the pond also gets visited by a not so common bird, the Green Heron. It is a beauty of a bird that lives in this pond for weeks at a time, before moving on.
