Reflecting Pool II
I loved this pool, which my husband discovered and took me on a hike to see one sunset evening. Loved it so much, in fact, that I took about a million pictures. See a completely different view here.
Monarch Butterfly
We’ve been away from home for a few days, visiting my husband’s family. A visit to a local butterfly garden yielded this gorgeous monarch. I was loving the textures and patterns so much, I converted it to black and white in order to show them off better.
Orange Flower, Post Rain
Lots of dark pictures lately. Let’s lighten up, shall we? This flower photo is from my garden right after an evening rain storm. I love how the flowers that are just past their prime begin curling into weird shapes. Much more interesting than the perfect, sunny, fully open ones.
Tapestry in Storm
Over Memorial Day weekend we took three (rainy) days to float the San Juan River in southeastern Utah. One evening as we set up camp near my favorite San Juan Rock Formation – the Navajo Tapestry – a thunderstorm blew through, turning the sunset light golden and the sky a bruised dark purple and blue. I abandoned tent setup and raced to a knoll with my tripod and camera. I made it back to my tent just as the wind picked up and the first splotches of rain came down.
