A day at the botanical gardens.

Nap time

Through the lens

We were on a photoshoot one evening and I wanted something different than a typical sunset.

After spending time in the outdoors, your senses tune in and you see everything. Like this little dragonfly.

I got caught in this rain storm so I pulled under the bridge to hopefully walk around without getting wet. The wind was blowing the rain horizontally so the only dry place was to the right of the main piling shown. The water you see pouring out is draining from the road surface above.

A walk in the woods

Somewhere in Tennessee

Into the Light

Color falls

The best campsite

I camped near this stream for two weeks. It was totally refreshing on all levels.

I placed my camera right above the incoming waves and fired away. One of the incoming waves gave part of my camera a bath, but I wiped it off and kept shooting.

Sunset

This photo appeared in a local calendar supporting the health of the river.

Into the sky

The final approach to Delicate Arch. I like how this conveys it's just you and the great outdoors. Realistically, around the corner was about 40 people waiting to photograph Delicate Arch. Printing tip: I printed this in 11x14 which requires a portion to be cropped. I cropped part of the right hand rocks and kept the expansive view. In a large print it's like you're there.

The hike said "strenous" and the long, twisty descent down the stairs showed they meant it. Fortunately, the trail is a loop and you don't have to come back up ALL of those stairs. Crab Tree falls is the reward for the hike. A long exposure and some dust on the lens to highlight the sun, combine to make a great photo right ouf of the camera. Crab Tree falls is located on the BlueRidge Parkway in North Carolina.

Horsepower

This very detailed life size statue is located on the capitol grounds in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I was framing the shot and noticed the clouds moving in. I waited till they were close to the horse's nose for the final effect.

A long exposure view of the falls. This was taken in winter time so I'm sure the summer is very beautiful.

It was quite noisy to be sleeping, but this one was attempting to rest or just be still for a bit.

Angel Flight

Nothing like thick fog to make a walk in the forest enchanting or haunting. You pick, but don't go by yourself! This trail is located in Ceasers Head State park in South Carolina.

Tracks of Time

These long forgotten tracks leave you wondering the stories they once told. Where did the train go, what kind of people were on it, etc. History is always fascinating.

Another cool shot...

You'll see Great Egrets standing looking at the water, they're white whispy feathers blowing with every breeze. When they take flight, you understand their name. Beautiful....

We hiked to this semi frozen lake in Rocky Mtn National Park. It was quite foggy which made for great photo ops.

Amanda

Created with an unusual pairing; a 2 year old Nikon D40 sporting a 28mm 1.4 lens that came from a Nikon FM film camera bought in 1973. The 28mm pulled excellent detail in the low light. Amanda did a fine job of holding the studious pose.

Remember the two babies in the previous picture? This is one of them before it wandered into our camp. The morning was cold and like me, they were enjoying the warmth of the morning sun.

I had walked onto a gazeebo over the water and this iguana had already claimed it. We played the usual dance of cat & mouse that photographers often do to capture an animal shot. Finally he stuck his head through the rail and I leaned over the top. At this moment we both saw each other for a few minutes and exchanged inquisitive looks. After checking me out, he jumped straight into the water and swam off. I stared in disbelief as I watched him swim to the bank. Climb, swim, run, these guys are the original tri-athletes.
