Lightning Over Redding 10/18 : Last night was quite a night! Between 7 and 9 the show really got going as the sky lit up with bolts and thunder. Below are my favorites! Please note, the below are low-resolution photos and are not available for purchase (because they won't look good as prints). Late tonight I will update this gallery with the original resolution photos and make the gallery available for purchase and download. Feel free to email me if you have any questions: distopher@gmail.com.

Patrick's Point State Park 2009 : Located 25 miles north of Eureka California, Patrick's Point is a park located in the heart of California's coast redwood country. The park's dense forests of spruce, hemlock, pine, fir and red alder stretch over an ocean headland with lovely wildflower-festooned meadows. A dramatic shoreline ranging from broad sandy beaches to sheer cliffs that rise high above the Pacific Ocean offers great opportunities to explore tide pools, search for agates and driftwood, watch whales, sea lions and brilliant sunsets. The park offers several miles of hiking trails, a recreated Yurok Village, a native plant garden, visitor center, three family campgrounds, 2 group camps, a camp for hikers and bicyclists, and 3 group picnic areas. (text from: http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=417) Our family heads to Patrick's Point every year for camping and agate hunting. Enjoy a few of my favorite photos from the weekend!
