Sierra Sunrise over Utica Reservoir, Alpine County, California.
We've been really busy working on a major Website project and I haven't had a chance to post for a few days. Today, I decided I had to post something no matter what.
Here is an overview of what we are working on:
- We are adding a collection of new images to our on-line galleries.
- Some of our images are getting moved to our new archive, but they will still be available for purchasing as prints and for licensing.
- We are preparing to offer a few new services. I'll keep those a secret for now.
- We will be rescanning some of our slides.
- And more...
We hope to have the things mentioned above completed in 3-4 more weeks. After that, we will be concentrating on adding hundreds of new images to our galleries and archive. In the meantime, I hope to get back to posting on this blog a bit more often than I have been!

Morning paddle on Utica Reservoir, Alpine County, California.
Jeff and I have kayaked and canoed on a lot of beautiful lakes and reservoirs in Northern California. If I had to choose the top 5 best places we have ever paddled, Utica Reservoir would definitely be one of them!
5 reasons why it is in the top 5.
- The water is warm, clear and has a sandy bottom.
- There are many islands to paddle to and camp on.
- The water is calm most of the time.
- The scenery is beautiful in every direction.
- It's not too big or too small. It's the perfect paddle lake!

Utica Reservoir here.
I have many more images to share from our recent trip. I will be spacing them out a bit, as we are in the middle of some very BIG Website projects. For that reason, I will also be spending less time on Twitter and Facebook, until those projects are a little further along.

Man kayaking on Utica Reservoir, Alpine County, California.
This photo was captured as Jeff, Kim and I were heading for the Lily Pond that Jeff had discovered earlier that day. We were starting to get a little nervous, as thunder bumpers were rolling in. The last place we wanted to be during a storm is in a boat on the lake!
Fortunately, the threatening looking sky rolled out of there about as fast as it rolled in. We were happy little kayakers once again!

Couple and their dog kayaking on Utica Reservoir, Alpine County, California.
This is a very typical scene at Utica Reservoir. If you are into kayaking or canoeing and you have a dog or two, then Utica Reservoir is for YOU!
We fit right in here. We have a dog and we love to kayak and canoe. I've never seen so many people paddling with their dogs as I did here. It was really fun to witness!
More photos of our adventure to Utica Reservoir to come!

Sunrise at Utica Reservoir, Alpine County, California.
This photo was taken the first morning during our camping trip to Utica Reservoir. Typically, I like to include people in my photographs, but I had to bag that idea for this photo. I was the only one up!
More photos of our adventure to this magical place to come!

Canoeing on Utica Reservoir, Alpine County, California.
We are back. We just spent 6 days at Utica Reservoir and it is just as wonderful as it was 26 years ago!
This photo is one of many I will be sharing during the coming weeks. We came back with hundreds of fresh images and we covered just about everything on our shoot list. It was one of the most successful photographic adventures to date.
Things are quite piled up around here everywhere you look. I sure hope we don't have any drop-in company any time soon. It looks like a tornado touched down in our house.
That said, I'm not quite sure when the next post will be. But, hopefully it will be worth the wait.
Be back soon.
