Bad Hair Day

Faith took this photo of Liz in Australia -- very creative!

Canyon Rainbow

In the low light setting of the slot canyons yellow light from the sun, blue light from the sky and every color in between is reflected on the red sandstone walls.

This image was taken in the Lower Antelope Slot Canyons and is large enough to use for wallpaper on very high resolution monitors.

A Day at the Lake

Mono Lake: no other place quite like it.

The Bristlecone Pines of White Mountain

With some of these trees more than 4000 years old; the bristlecone pines on the White Mountain range in Eastern California are the oldest living things on Earth.

Few More Zion Photographs

Here are a few more Zion photographs including the traditional shot of the Virgin River and Watchman mountain peak.

Zion National Park

Zion National Park is a deep valley of red Navaho sandstone which creates very warm lighting ideal for detail photographs.

Lundy Canyon

We had originally planned on visiting Yosemite NP for two days. The first day was a total bust due to the park rangers doing a managed burn in Yosemite Valley. Of course they didn't mention that at the gate before we drove the hour and a half across the park.

On the second day snow was forecast so we opted to stay on the east side of the Tioga Pass which crosses the mountains. We made the right decision because they closed the pass in the evening which would have forced us to drive and additional 8 to 10 hours to get back to our RV.

Lundy Canyon is one of many on the East side that contain a creek draining snow melt from the mountains. The whole area is a desert but along these creeks there is lush foliage which turns to bright colors in the fall creating a striking contrast to the desert brush.
