It’s warming up, the thermals are popping and California Condors are frequenting the Tehachapi Mountains once again. Spent time with this gorgeous juvenile as he soaked up the early morning sun and loosened up for a day of scavenging with some pretty zen yoga moves.

A Little Explore of the High Desert
Highlights of my last trip out are up. I have a lot more footage but my computer can’t handle heavy video editing these days. Two new single panel

Tehachapi Mountains & the Central Valley
As winter storms blew through over the holidays, I was fortunate enough to have a pretty spectacular view out across the southern Tehachapi Mountains and California’s Central Valley. Dramatic skies and light are something I live for - definitely got both on this occasion!
