California is well known for its unique and thriving biodiversity. Hosting a rare climate type characterized by hot dry summers and cool wet winters, California is a place where life flourishes. One of the most interesting regions of this massive state is the wide-ranging coastline. From long swaths of windswept sandy beaches to waves crashing on rocky shores, there is a huge variety of life to be found. My latest focus as both a photographer and naturalist has been on one particular gem located in Northern California, Point Reyes National Seashore. Renowned for its beauty and vast biodiversity, I have spent a good chunk of my life exploring this beautiful place, yet somehow, I feel I have only scratched the surface. Point Reyes National Seashore teems with life. It’s a crucial stop for migrating birds, a winter breeding ground for Elephant Seals, a critical nesting ground for the threatened Western Snowy Plover, and home to the unique Tule Elk, among many other species. Through my photography, I aim to inspire people to connect with nature, to look a little deeper and discover the wonder that surrounds them.
