Maples in Arizona

Word has it that the Maples along the West Fork Trail are turning! Stay tuned.
(Fall Color Album)

West Fork Fall Color

Oak Creek reflections on the West Fork Trail north of Sedona. No…not from today. This was shot in 2002. I’ll be happy if all we find is a little color like this.

Fall Color in Infrared

I’m heading to Sedona in a few days and wishing and hoping for some fall color but if not, I can always fall back on Infrared! The young couple in the background is at L’Auberge de Sedona which is right across Oak Creek from my campground…..a Gorgeous and very romantic setting. I sometimes encounter people eating breakfast by the creek and I’m sure they think I’m spying on them 🙂

Raindrops on Aspen Leaf

Raindrops on a tiny Aspen leaf. Shot with Canon 90mm Tilt/Shift lens.

Selective Focus

Cottonwood leaves photographed using a very large aperture rendering the background leaves to a wash of green.

Roadrunner Food?

That’s what I wondered as I rounded the corner of my house this evening and saw a Roadrunner in front of a Desert Milkweed where I had spotted 6 Queen caterpillars this morning. There were only two left! Darn 🙁 I then wondered if that might have been what happened to the Chrysalis recently and to the other two caterpillars. Note to self….make some kind of screen to go over the plants as soon as I spot the caterpillars or I might never get to document the process. (shot handheld with my Canon 180 Macro)

Halloween Creation

A dead tree, two owls and some texture combined to make a Halloween inspired image.

The Watchman and Virgin River

Photographers who go to Zion National Park probably end up with dozens (or even hundreds!) of this quintessential view of the Watchman. How can we resist?! It was overcast and drizzling when I got this shot but I added a few textures to age it a bit and I ended up with something a little different.
