All Around

I don't know what it is but the desert just does it for me. I love it. There is so much to see and such a variety. All of these shots were taken within a hundred yards of each other except the mine shot which was a couple miles down the road. I guess its kinda like life. If your willing to look there is good all around.

Cactus Classic

we went out to gold butte the weekend of April 9th to check out all the wild flowers and we ran into a hell of a snow storm out there. we had a great trip. these are some of the shots of the cactus. its not very often i get to shoot snow on the yucca and Joshua. 

A Trip to the Hills

The boys and I were able to head for the hills a couple of weekends ago and man was it great to get out. We went to the Gold Butte country and enjoyed every minute of it. We got in some snow, rain and then a beautiful clear evening. We were able to add yet another great trip to the books.

Last of the Bryce Valley Weekend

Here are the last pictures of my Bryce Valley weekend. It was a great trip and I was sad to leave. However, luckily I get to go up a lot so hopefully the pictures will only get better. These pictures were taken on the way back up the trail. There are not as many pictures on the way back up cause the trail was treacherous and well pretty much I am out of shape. I got to wheezing so hard I couldn't event hold the camera still.

Red Canyon Part II

These are the last couple pictures from my trip through Red Canyon last weekend. The snow storm made for some fun shooting (I have to be careful to clarify which kind of shooting I mean in many groups that I run with). Tomorrow I will start posting the ones from Bryce.

Bryce Valley Weekend

This weekend we had some work to do on the cabin so I took full advantage of being up in beautiful country and brought my camera along. The weather this weekend was horrible under most circumstances. However I have found many advantages to bad weather......great lighting, interesting subject matter, and less people . It was snowing on and off starting from New Harmony all the way to Bryce Valley. I stopped at Red Canyon along the way and took some pictures. It was nice cause there was nobody out on the road and the snow was fresh so it made for some fun shooting. Oh and by fresh I mean it was snowing while I was taking pictures. I finally had to head back to the truck because it got so bad. These are just the first few in a long series of pictures from the trip. More will be coming over the next couple days. The hardest part is most definitely picking my favorites to post and share.
