Morgan Territory Regional Preserve has this nice pond with at least one turtle, an Alameda whip snake, many birds, and some valued shade. I would have been better off using a row shoot rather than columns now that I see the wind effects. The column shoot has the advantage that you can stop it at any time and still ...

This regional preserve connects with thousands of acres of wilderness and is within twenty miles of Oakland CA. The distant mountain in the center of the image is Mount Diablo. The view from Diablo gigapan.org/gigapans/50766/ shows this park on the right hand side of the frame.

The large acorns were gathered and eaten by the Miwok and Volvon peoples who lived in these hills. Many of these trees were apparently planted around the village sites. Dying and dead valley oaks often ...

Snow fell for two straight days in Boulder, Colo., dumping almost three feet of snow in some places. Thought it would be a good time to take the gigapan out (covered in a plastic bag) to capture this snowy scene. Enjoy wandering around this photo. Two days later all the snow had melted, just in time for Halloween.

The pond at Morgan Territory is an oasis of life. Red winged blackbirds are defining their territories and selecting nesting sites. Show of red, diving at each other, and ariel acrobatics atre ongoing. This was a place worth watching on this windy day.

This view of the pond and the large oak shows the oasis nature of the pond, it is a green island in golden fields. Only oaks and bay trees grow in these dry hills. Bluebirds and coyotes live up here, and red tail hawks are frequently heard and seen.

This oasis is a frog haven. Hundreds of frogs blend in along the shoreline and hop into the pond in a great cascade when one walks along its shore. The water is quite low this time of year. The larger frogs eat the smaller ones and only a few will be left by seasons end. Turtles and whipsnakes eat all that they can. ...
