We were asking for directions to old graveyards in Chloride, Arizona when we were told about these murals. Not the best time of day to capture them but they were fun to see and we enjoyed eating our lunch under the paintings. CLICK HERE to read about the artist, Roy Purcell, and to see images from the recent restoration project (shot in beautiful light!).

It was overcast for much of our time in Zion National Park but there was just enough light to make the muddy Virgin River and rocks glow with the reflection of fall colors.

We were really lucky to arrive in Zion during stormy weather. It meant we would have fresh sand ripples to photograph after the washes stopped flowing and there were some very interesting ones! I especially liked these as they reminded me of Fyords. The fall color reflection was a huge bonus.

Along Highway 89 near Marble Canyon are some really interesting boulders. Even cooler is that many had been turned into houses. We’ve passed by them many times during our travels but this was the first time we stopped to investigate. CLICK HERE to read more about the history of these rock houses.

Our friend Richard has been coming to Zion for years but had never seen the falls so we decided to re-visit before we left. No complaints from me especially since I regretted not capturing a side view of the falls. Didn’t get wet this time, thanks to Chris 🙂

Although we do have a Garmin Navigator, Cloe does a really good job of showing us the right roads to take. Both she and Cleo love RVing and have requested to go to places like CATalina, the CATskills and CATmandu 🙂
Here’s Cloe in HDR. Happy Halloween!

On our latest trip, I was determined to take time to really work a subject when I found a pleasing one. With these wonderful leaves, I got close, closer and super close. Because I was using a fixed focal lens (Canon 180 Macro), I used my feet to change position. Shooting in the shade resulted in very saturated color so all I did was add slight contrast and sharpening.

Yesterday, my friend Richard and I hiked down off the main road into the wash and followed it in and out of slot canyons. The scenery was VERY cool and there was lots of color. This HDR shot was taken on the way down to the bottom.
