As our fall deepens, I work at photographing birds with color in our area as we have less than a dozen colorful species that stay through our winters.
The Palm Warbler is more often found in pine trees, often high up. Won't be long now until they leave for the Southeastern part of the U.S. but they are one of our earlier returning birds. Weighing in at just over a half ounce you might need two of them to fill your palm.

Decided to get out and go for a little drive, since the pounding storm rains quit earlier this afternoon out my way. I found this bridge that crosses over Woods Creek, with a lot of wood in and around it. Perfect!

'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars
I want to die in your arms
'Cause you get lighter
The more it gets dark
I'm going to give you my heart
Almost the end of the APTs career as a passenger carrying train. Seen slinking through Crewe, this was the only time I managed a good shot of an APT doing something useful.

This, in todays Times crossword, was the first one I completed as I scanned the across clues. Very appropriate given the current shit storm in Eastern Europe!
During our workshop in Joshua Tree, we were told about a wash filled with desert flowers. Kevin McNeal, Steve Sieren and I decided to check it out one evening. Now you have to understand, Kevin is from the Pacific Northwest, and so he was understandably excited at the possibility of capturing the Joshua Tree National Park in bloom.
What greeted us was a patchy field of flowers, so delicate that the slightest whisper of air moved the petals and a hazy Southern California sky. Watching Kevin hunt around for a composition, was a wonderful learning experience...or more aptly a one man stand-up comedy act. By positioning my camera, low to the ground , angling it to find the maximum group of plants in one spot, waiting for a break in the wind, and a few other tricks along the way, I managed to capture the moment.
I can’t say enough about what I learned from Kevin at the Mountain High Joshua Tree Workshop. If you have time, they are hosting another workshop in the Tetons and Yellowstone, May 30th-June 5th. at www.mountainhighworkshops.com.

The Dune Evening Primrose are lovely to capture during the sunset as they open in the early evening and close in mid-morning, making the desert appear as if it is covered with tissue paper.
