Too late for the Milky Way, too much wind, too cold to stay long but I took a quick shot of the church and couldn’t believe the statue lit so well in the moonlight. https://campstmalo.org/

Fish Made of Jelly
The aquarium at the Omaha Zoo is amazing. The orange against blue drew me into a Zen like moment. So calm.

Giraffes in Phoenix
I was at an animal park in Phoenix and couldn’t resist this momma and her baby.

Bears! Oh my!
Bear sightings are rare in Rocky Mountain National Park. I got lucky this day as I saw a bunch of cars pulled over and people looking at a small bluff about 75 yards away. At first I thought elk or maybe sheep but when we heard it was a bear I was all about it.

Angels Landing

The early morning of March 23 at Zion National Park started with a record snowfall. We had been lucky to get a lottery spot for Angels Landing. With the effort to get there and the money spent there was nothing to do but try to see how far we could get. Clouds and snow came and went but we made it to the top. My reward was some great pics.

Lake Haiyaha
In June of 2022, there was a massive rockfall off Hallett Peak. The rocks grinding together made a fine mineral flour that does not settle quickly. It was this flour that gave Haiyaha this milky aquamarine color. This was taken in October and the lake still had much of that color.
Ice
Thinking about ice in the August mid-west weather… Ouray, CO, last Feburary.
Ride the Flare
Second time I’ve tried this. Learned to pick time of day and my place to shoot. Sun was so bright it was hard to use the view finder so I knew what I wanted but couldn’t tell if I got it until I came down off the mountain. Sometimes I get lucky.
Two Fun Ones
In Estes I get pics of elk all the time but bobcats and coyotes are rare.
My brother in-law has good eyes and spotted the coyote across Horseshoe Park. The coyote was hunting but came up empty handed for the 20 minutes we watched him.
My wife whispered, “there’s a bobcat in the yard.” I had about a minute to grab a few shots from the kitchen window before he was out of range. The tricky part was getting him away from the septic tank cover. Somehow that ruins wildlife shots.
