arrangement
This picture is kind of scuffed, but I like the desaturation and vignetting, and the sparse arrangement of trees and bushes.
ice crystals
Ice crystals cover the surface of Blue Mesa reservoir. This was a perfectly calm morning and the crystals had grown to several feet in length.
Noisy Neighbor
Bullfrogs form a noisy part of the summer chorus, making it easy to tell if they are near. Despite their large size and large voice they are often hard to spot, since their colors match their surroundings well.
Rosy Finch
The Brown-Capped Rosy-Finch lives at high elevations in the Rocky Mountains only. This one is on McClellan Mountain, picking through alpine flowers.
Really Here
This is another view of Now and Then falls at Amnicon Falls state park after major flooding.
the middle is nowhere
The corner between the states of Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas is marked by a survey marker and a couple of cattle gates, if you can find the right farm road.
Here for Now
This Now and Then falls, an ephemeral waterfall in Amnicon Falls state park, after normal spring melt.
Blue Sky
Formerly Mt Evans, the scale here is large enough that the mountain is blue as well.
moki dugway
Moki Dugway is the most spectacular rout to the top of Cedar Mesa in Utah. Paved road on either side, but the switchbacks are all gravel.
Light Show
Northern lights are always worth losing sleep over!
