Southern Utah rarely disappoints and that was true on a recent camping trip. Our first stop was Goblin Valley State Park, situated between Arches and Capitol Reef National Parks. This was our first time visiting, and we spent the night and the next morning there. I got lucky … the light and sky gave me … Continue reading Utah Colors

Here’s a collection of images I’ve shot and processed this winter. Speaking of winter, it’s been a strange one. Temperatures have been much warmer, and we’ve had much less snow than normal. How reduced snowpack will affect us is to be seen. On a positive note we’ve had some spectacular sunrises, sunsets and light. From … Continue reading Winter Light & Landscapes

Here’s a collection of moon images I’ve been saving up. Over the years I’ve figured out that optimal times (for me) to shoot the moon only happen a couple of times a month. The night before the full moon has a better chance of working out, when there is still color in the sky and … Continue reading Moonrise Moments

If you’ve followed my photography for any length of time, there’s nothing new to see here. I’m kidding of course … well, only sort of! The thing is, I always have and always will, love capturing colorful sunrise and sunset skies. After many years, I still find them an exciting sight. The colors, gradations and … Continue reading Nothing New Here!

I’m happy to have another year of photography wrapped up with my 2025 Favorites Gallery completed. A yearly gallery is something I’ve been doing for 23 years now. I started out with 76 images and edited them down to 52 (+3 to the Home Gallery) for this 2025 collection. Click the thumbnail gallery if you’d like … Continue reading 2025 Favorites

Happy Holidays to all my family & friends … and especially to you, my blogging community of friends. Thanks for visiting me here from time to time. It means a lot! Until next year, I wish everyone a wonderful holiday season and new year! The graphic designer in me likes to create ecards with my … Continue reading Happy Holidays One & All!

In this post I’m sharing some of my newer images that feature local mountain peaks. This time of year I like using my long lens to focus on the snow-covered peaks. They’re so pretty when paired with the colorful skies of sunrise and sunset. I haven’t been getting out to shoot as often as usual … Continue reading Peaks In The Clouds

Autumn came to a quick close when we experienced several days of wind and rain during the second week of October. It was a beautiful fall, prior to the bad weather and I am glad I was able to get out there several times. Captures I’ve chosen to share in 4 posts (including these) make … Continue reading Fall Finale

After taking it easy over the summer, autumn was what I needed to revive my photography practice. My cameras and I have been out shooting many times over the last month. I so enjoy being in the landscape, and getting in the zone. It’s an engaging exercise as I search for interesting images, and concentrate … Continue reading Autumn Immersion

I went out shooting quite a bit in September and have tried to keep up by processing my favorites from the month. My first goal is always to make compositions that work. As you’ll see in this post, it’s normal for the color to progress in patches. I like it when there’s some green … … Continue reading September Scenics
