Autumn Essence
I’ve been trying for years to get that “perfect” Autumn image. Normally I take some months, at least, before I rate a new image, but this one struck me right away. I think it is the balance between the sharply focused aspens in the foreground and the soft background which creates the painting-like effect that I really love. Ironically, I shot this quickly, in the rain, while holding an umbrella.. a shot that almost didn’t happen at all.

Moonset-Zabriski Point
I arrived early at Zabriski Point in Death Valley to catch the sunrise, but instead managed to catch the moon just setting over the Panamint Mountains in the west and the eroded hills below the lookout illuminated beautifully by the pre-dawn twilight.
Mystical Mirror
I worked my way into to this scene at Ruby Beach in Washington slowly, over the course of an hour or so. It started out as a nice, but fairly routine sunset shot; then, as I moved around trying different angles and found this glassy pool reflecting the beautiful sea stacks, the fractal-like abstract design suddenly became apparent to me. Finally, the soft pastel colors of twilight brought the shot all together, lasting for just a couple of minutes.

Into the Slot
Hikers venture into one of southern Utah's many fascinating red-rock slot canyons at Willis Creek.
Sun Bather
Deep inside one of the amazing slot canyons of NE Arizona, I found this lonely bit of tumbleweed resting in a nook of the textured canyon walls, perfectly spotlighted in light from high above.

Winter Waves
On a winter's day in 2010, I spent the afternoon watching and photographing fantastic waves from a large swell, but only at the end of the day when the light got really low and soft did I get a few shots of the kind I was looking for.
Curtain Falls
One of the several unique and beautiful waterfalls found along Taylor Creek in the Kolob Plateau area of Zion National Park in southern Utah.
