Boucher Hill on Palomar Mountain

I went for a walk in the forest on the Boucher Trail on Palomar Mountain last week and had incredible conditions. Clouds rolled in and the clouds rolled out. They butted against the hillside and sifted through the trees. The scene changed from moment to moment. The sun broke through at times. I was in photographer heaven!

Sunrise at Del Dios Highlands

Last week I gathered with a small group of friends. We met at 5 am. The plan was to hike the 3+ miles to the overlook to be there before sunrise to catch the pre-sunrise light. Unfortunately, we got off to a rough start. After hiking up hill for about 10-15 minutes, I realized I forgot my camera in the car. The others were kind enough to encourage me to go back while they waited. Twenty minutes later I was back with camera. An hour and 15 minutes later we were on the summit. I quickly set up my tripod and took the first photo you see below.
