    An extra added bonus of the #Tsunami coverage along the #SonomaCounty Coast was a pod of bottlenose dolphins riding the surf, Saturday afternoon. I'm sure it happens from time to time, but it's my first time photographing them in 35 years @NorthBayNews

    I’m going to run myself ragged trying to thank everyone for the compliments on the air tanker photo. Thanks for the kind words. It’s a remarkable image to be sure and speaks volumes as to the situation in Lake County and California. Be well and be safe. @NorthBayNews #CAwx

    My motto has always been to carry a camera. It gets me into trouble, but not this evening. A brief break between cloud decks allows the setting sun to illuminate a parting storm above Cloverleaf Ranch in Santa Rosa, Sunday evening. @NorthBayNews @NWSBayArea
