I just came back from a trip to Navajo Country and the American Southwest. Here’s a video timelapse of the various places I visited: Joshua Tree National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, Horseshoe Bend, Monument Valley, Canyon De Chelly National Monument, Petrified Forest National Park, and Sedona. Enjoy!

Turtles contemplating together

I was shooting in the Los Angeles Arboretum a few days ago and wandered upon a group of turtles perched on top of a floating log. At first glance, the turtles don’t seem like interesting subjects. They don’t move much, standing in the same spot for hours at a time sun bathing and perhaps contemplating the meaning of life. I never paid much attention to them. But this time I decided to sit down nearby to observe them and do a little contemplation of my own.

I nearly froze my butt off during my recent trip to view the Leonid Meteor Shower in Joshua Tree National Park. Read some of my tips so you don’t make the same mistakes.

Evosia Photography: The Night Sky in Joshua Tree National Park

I did a crazy midnight run to Joshua Tree National Park to view the Leonids Meteor shower. Fun trip. Lots of meteors. But even without the scheduled meteor shower, the dark night sky in Joshua Tree makes for spectacular stargazing.

It’s apple picking season! If you live in the LA area, you can head to Oak Glen, CA to pick Apples and drink fresh cider. Oak Glen is 80 miles from Los Angeles, or about a 90 minute drive. This day trip makes for a great family outing or a unique date. Enjoy nature and the cooler and fresher mountain air. Pick organic apples, raspberries and blackberries. Eat apple pie. Check out the petting zoo at Oak Tree Village. And visit the cute alpacas at Peddler’s Pack Ranch.

Gravenstein and Red Delicious are in season now. McIntosh, Jonathan and Spartans coming within the next few weeks. I was there a few weeks ago and went to Riley’s Apple Farm. They have organic apples and raspberries to pick. There was also a ton of wild blackberries growing along the side of the road near the farm — free for the picking but bring your own containers.

I suggest getting to the farms early to avoid crowds and the mid-day sun. Places open up between 9 and 10am, and close between 4 and 5 pm. Bring a hat, sunblock, water and comfortable shoes. Keep the sandals and flip-flops in the trunk when you are out picking. There are plants and insects that can hurt your feet. Have fun!

Ladybug on leaf

Lately I’ve been experimenting with macro photography, trying to capture the beauty in nature through the little details of life we often miss. Insects, flowers, veins of leaves. Rather than use a typical macro lens, I decided to use a telephoto with extension tubes. This combination allows me to keep a farther shooting distance so I don’t scare little shy insects away from my big gigantic lens. All taken with a Canon 500D camera, Canon 70-200mm 4L IS lens and kenko extension tubes. Enjoy!

I’m back from a trip to beautiful canyon country in Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon in Southern Utah. No sign of Neo or Morpheus. But here’s a video I put together of some of the beauty I saw while climbing Angel’s Landing, hiking the Narrows and driving around the park. The scenery is breathtaking and the view from Angel’s Landing is worth the crazy and somewhat dangerous hike, even in 100 degree weather.

Below are select photos from my trip! Enjoy!
