Psychadelic Flowers
Sometimes I’m almost glad when a photograph does not come out the way I intended because it gives me room for experimentation. This is one such example.
Ancient Ruins
An ancient ruin in northern Arizona. The Ancient Puebloans (or Anasazi as they are more commonly called) lived in this area a thousand years ago, and then mysteriously disappeared, leaving their dwellings, pottery, and pictographs on cliff walls as evidence of their habitation.
Sweet and Innocent…Or an Olsen Twin?
Nope! I haven’t lost track of days. This is just a bonus Sunday post, since I referenced this photo in a post on my regular blog and it seemed a good time to post it on here, too.
Sometimes Echo startles me with how young he appears, but much of the time he shows every minute of his 12½ years. Which is why I love when I capture him like this. To further emphasize his youthful appearance, I desaturated this photo somewhat. Don’t let his age fool you, though — he thinks he’s hot stuff.
Okay, I know this sounds weird, but for some reason, in this photo he bears a slight resemblance to one of the Olsen twins, and ever since I noticed that about thirty seconds ago it’s been freaking me out somewhat. Maybe it’s the huge, pleading eyes. Is it just me? I’m really, really hoping so.
Grand Canyon Moonrise
The moon rises over the layered rocks of the Grand Canyon. As seen from the river.
Corral in Snow
Since I have only now started up my photoblog, I have a backlog from several seasons. In this one, a mountainside corral has been abandoned for the winter.
The Edges of Shadow
Little purple flowers enjoy the sunlit edges of a shadow in Canyonlands National Park.
Winding Branch
A branch chokes wrought iron in a Charleston, South Carolina neighborhood. The wrought iron accents on many of the buildings are one of my favorite aspects of Charleston.
Canyons in the Rain
One summer my husband and I visited Canyonlands National Park. We were lucky enough to arrive at one overlook shortly before a storm. While some people fled before the rain came, my husband and I — among others — took out our cameras.
Leaves — Closeup
This is one of those shots that turned out better than I expected. Not because of the subject matter or the detail, but because I find the lighting and colors so pleasing. Just looking at it makes me happier.
Butterfly on Thistle
I followed this butterfly for a while before it finally landed on a flower close enough for me to take a few decent shots. Because it appeared more threatening than beautiful in its closeup, insect form, I treated the photo as such.
Quick-Stepping
This photo was taken one evening in Canyonlands National Park a few years ago. Hubs had just dragged me all over creation in search of God knows what. While I stopped to take a picture of more rocks, he decided to go out onto them. I didn’t realize he was crossing onto the boulders until it was too late to get a photo of him in mid-air. Still, I’m fond of the yogaish position he displayed upon landing.
Monster Tulip
Sometimes tulips are beautiful. Sometimes they’re scary. And sometimes they look ten feet tall.
