I hiked West Wing Mountain trail this morning at sunrise. What a treat. I saw a large owl and was able to get some shots of the desert in bloom.

The Desert Is In Bloom

Julian, California
On March - 21 - 2010
The fun thing about shooting with a digital camera is the serendipity in finding photos on your hard drive that you hadn’t yet processed. Wendy and I spent a few days in Julian, California for our last wedding anniversary. We stayed in a cabin that faced the West. The first photo is from the back deck. There were a couple of days where we could see all the way to the ocean. This was taken just before sunset and is actually 4 photos merged to an hdr.
This second shot is of a turkey. The State of California introduced wild turkeys back into the environment and they are doing quite well as we saw about 100 of them on our trip.

Cactus League Hotels
On January - 19 - 2010
We are in the process of revamping Arizona Tourism. As a part of the process, we put together a new ’section’ to determine how quickly we could drive traffic to specific Arizona travel content. Check out Cactus League Spring Training. Our Cactus League section has information on the Arizona Spring Training stadiums, info on hotels near the stadiums and links to buy Spring Training Tickets.
US Military Hotels
On December - 18 - 2009
I just put together a site for hotel reservations near military bases. The concept is to have geo targeted links for each US military base and to have links show by distance, hotels near military bases. I am using the new Google ad manager program to serve ads on the site. Let me know what you think.
Convention Overflow Hotels
On September - 15 - 2009
I discovered a need for hotel rooms at conventions where the host hotel is sold out. So, I built a website to fill the niche. It’s a basic Wordpress Site with some of the blog functionality taken out so it looks more like a business web site.
The theme is called INOVE. You can find it at Wordpress.org.
I added a number of plugins to the theme and also added some ads. If you ‘Google’ the term, ‘convention overflow hotels’, this site is already at number one on the list. Hopefully, it will generate some traffic and group hotel reservation leads.
Check out Convention Overflow Hotels. Let me know what you think.
