Cedar
The red tint of the cedar bark contrasts with the blue and green of the lichen growing on it’s surface.
Sun Dried
This anhinga was very relaxed as it dried its feathers after a dive.
Really Here
This is another view of Now and Then falls at Amnicon Falls state park after major flooding.
Here for Now
This Now and Then falls, an ephemeral waterfall in Amnicon Falls state park, after normal spring melt.
Filtered Light
Fall hikes with the light filtering through the warmly colored leaves are beautiful.
Jeweled Leaf
The recent rain decorated many of the fallen leaves on this afternoon.
Fall Growth
Mushrooms love the wet fall weather, and grow in a matter of days after the rain.
Generic Mountain Picture
Monarch Crest Trail runs along the mountain ridges from Monarch Pass. The picture is too nice not to post, but it tells no story beyond what a beautiful day it was.
Spiked Sentinels
Yucca flowers guard the entrance to an unnamed canyon near Ticaboo, Utah. A wet month brought out the greens in the desert, but did not sustain the spring of water we sought at the head of the canyon.
uv
This view north is from my first climb in the Sawatch range, Huron Peak. With a fresh coat of snow it was a bad mistake continuing after forgetting sunscreen.
