This theme on paddling the north fork of the American River has been very popular, so I decided to post one more photo of it.Â
These guys are in an eddy, just below where the photo in my last post was taken.Â

Spring is here in the Sierra Foothills. It's the best time of the year to enjoy paddling on the north fork of the American River.
The north fork of the American River is one of the few rivers left, that doesn't rely on dam releases for it's water source. It depends soley on spring runoff. Therefore, the paddling season on this fork of the river is much shorter than both the middle and south forks.Â
Visit Canyon Raft Rentals for more information on paddling all three forks of the American River.
Happy Paddling!

Blue Angels - Capital Airshow, Mather Field, Sacramento, CA
The most exciting thing about our day in Sacramento was when we got invited to fly with the Angels.
Yes, that's right!
Jeff and I both got to experience first hand what it's like to fly with the Blue Angels. That has to top anything I've ever done!
Had you fooled didn't I?
Happy April Fools Day! 
Blue Angels at the Capital Airshow, Mather Field, Sacramento, CA
This is another one of my favorite shots of the Blue Angels, I took during a recent trip to Sacramento. If you ever get a chance to see them, go for it!
I'm not really into aircrafts per se. But, watching the Blue Angels perform was one of the most exciting things I've ever witnessed.

When Jeff and I left home for the Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail photo shoot, we knew the Blue Angels would be flying high in the sky nearby. We were hoping to get a chance to see them perform, as we were very close to Mather Field during our shoot.

I have lived less than an hour away from Sacramento for 22 years, but I had never checked out the Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail in all those years, until recently.

Mallard Ducks at the American River Parkway, Sacramento, CA
Last weekend, Jeff and I did a photo shoot at the American River Parkway in Sacramento. Our assignment was to capture photos of bikers on the Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail, named the #1 bike path in the nation for 2006 by www.trails.com.
While we were scouting the area for great locations, I got a little sidetracked by these beautiful Mallards.Â
 
Digital art version of the photo above
I love experimenting in PhotoShop. At first, I preferred the original shot. After looking at them for awhile, I have changed my mind. Now, I like the digital art version the best.Â
Which one do you prefer?
