This weekend I had the chance to go to San Francisco and experience some of its beauty.  One thing that I thought was amazing was the Golden Gate Park.  My wife had seen this article in one of the Via (AAA Insurance Magazine) Magazine Issue, where it had this underground garden.  We went to try and find it but had no luck until we were flipping through some street magazine that we picked up while in the town on Friday.  We seen the same thing she was looking for.  We spent the night and went to see it the next day.  We walked over from the lake to see this amazingly long line to enter the garden.  It must have been over a thousand people in it and it wasn’t moving very fast.  Soon after we heard a lady say, “If you don’t already have a ticket then you will not get in.”  So we gave up and explored the rest of the park. Like this tree that I captured with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT and my Canon 28-135mm lens.  There are more things to see so stay tuned. I am planning on trying to go back during the summer or so to take a trip over to Alcatraz and get my ticket ahead of time for the garden.

This is a photo of Toulomne Meadows just above Tioga Pass in California.  Very nice place.  It is peaceful and full of fresh air.  I went on a road trip one day and we went over to Yosemite, then up through Tioga Pass and then over to Mammoth Lakes, then over to Lake Tahoe.  It was a long drive but I think it was well worth it.  I took this picture with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT and the Canon 17-55mm lens.  

This is a photo of the famous Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California.  This photo was taken some time back when my wife and I hiked over to the other side of the bridge and I tried getting an angle that would show me more of the bridge but it was impossible unless I had a boat.  I was thinking of going over to the north end of the bridge but that shot had already been captured so many times.  I took this picture with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT.

I took this photo with my Minolta Dimage 5 just outside of Palm Springs, California.  This is the famous wind farm that provides power for so many people.  This farm has been seen in a lot of movies like E.T. and so many more.  

This is a photo that I took with my Minolta Dimage 5.  I took this picture while my family and I were in Palm Springs one weekend.  We hiked up this trail on the north end of town and it was about a mile and a half up to this beautiful waterfall.  We still have to go back to ride on the tram that goes all the way to the top of the point.

I took this photo with my Minolta Dimage 5 while traveling to The Grand Canyon in Arizona.  We hiked about a mile and a half down to this tree that was just growing out of this rock.  I knew it was incredible so I had to take the shot.  

I took this photo with my Minolta Dimage 5.  I also took this photo while I was in Las Vegas, Nevada.  We traveled to the Grand Canyon but after we stayed there for one night we knew it was time to come back and stay in Vegas.  Very nice motel.  

This photo was taken with my Minolta Dimage 5.  I took this photo while I was traveling to Las Vegas, Nevada.  I am not sure what motel this is in Vegas but if you find out let me know.  I also have some other photos of Vegas that I will post later.  Send me your comments.  If you have pictures of Vegas and want to post them please do.

This photo was taken with my Minolta Dimage 5 at Yosemite National Park in California. This is a photo of Vernal Falls. You can see how the tree seems to have grown directly from the rock. Amazing!

This photo was taken at the Los Angeles Train Station.  I used my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT and my Canon 28-135mm lens.  I loved this train station.  It has a lot of history and interesting architecture in it.  The outside area is also very beautiful.
