Yesterday I visited the Cliff House and surrounding areas scouting out locations for the wedding I’m photographing there this Saturday. Beautiful views every way you look.

It was time to take a break. My wife and I visited my parents in Plumas Pines, and then headed over to Reno, NV for a few days. Here is a self portrait of me during an early morning ride.
