After a disappointing couple of days in Bryce Canyon, I moved on to my next location which was to be Kodachrome Basin National Park, which is located between Bryce Canyon and the Grand Staircase Escalante Region of Utah. I found a great site in the primitive campground at the back of the park, I think I like this campground better than the front campground because of the dirt road leading in to it. This prevents most RV's from attempting access and is a much more serene environment, although the front campground has free showers but they can be used by all visitors, so I seized the opportunity. :)
This is the Bryce View Campground and is named so because its view overlooks not just Kodachrome Basin but also Bryce Canyon, which can be seen here off in the distance with a spectacular sunset in progress. Wouldn't you know it, the day I leave Bryce the sky explodes over it. Bah!! I guess a fourth trip to Bryce is on the itinerary in the future. "If at first you don't succeed try try again" is what I was taught. :)
I found this tree just off of the dirt road that leads back to some of the more remote formations in the park. It sits perched atop a red stone formation and stands only waist high. I tried to get a POV and composition that portrayed this tree as much bigger and an alternate composition capitalizing on it's stunted nature. I ended up liking this one better.
I am considering this to be an FDR image "Full Dynamic Range." Not an HDR image. HDR is usually associated with software designed specifically for that purpose. The problem with these software solutions is that by the time you get something you like, they introduce strong haloing properties and unpleasant artifacts which give it a fake unnatural look. By blending exposures manually you control what aspects of each exposure will be included in your final result, leading ultimately to a "Full Dynamic Range" image. Maybe we can start differentiating the two different types of processes. Have you ever had someone ask "Is it HDR" I like being able to say "NO", then again, if they have to ask then I'm getting close to real looking FDR photos.

My latest blog article is a retrospective that has a very unintended and unfortunate title (since it's probably the last thing anyone would ever want to do!): "Yesteryear 2020 - One Last Look"

While outside in the backyard, I noticed the Gulf Fritallary Butterflies hard at work laying the eggs that will become the Agraulis Vanillae Catepillar. Eventually it will evolve into the Next Generation of Gulf Fritallary Butterfly.

One last look at this mystery before moving on to other content. I like this perspective as it shows the building with the vast open fields surrounding it. The branches from the tree also add an interesting touch!
The debate of whether this was a school or a house seems to be 50/50 based on your comments. I'd like to think that potentially it was both. I'll continue to try and find an answer but my research has yielded few results.
Let me know which angle is your favorite!

this young cheetah is the leader of a group of 3 that we found in Mara North Conservancy.
While we were following them they were attacked by 2 lionesses from the River Pride. The cheetahs were of course too fast to be caught but the lionesses kept on chasing them for about 15 minutes. This photo was taken after the attacks and when the 3 youngsters were again together and now this cheetah had to decide where to go now.
Later in the trip I found out that this group of young cheetahs had previously been chased out of the Lemek and Enonkishu Conservancies. These conservancies all have big lion prides and large populations of hyena's.
Very challenging conditions for cheetahs.

The host leaves look pretty much the same when they are growing on the plant. But when the fall comes, each one dries in its own gloriously folded and curled fashion.
Three strong oxen were living in the bush. one red, white and black. One day a lion came upon them and wondered how he might eat the three oxen. The lion realized that he could not attack all the three oxen at the same time . He made a plan to divide them and eat them one by one.
The lion came to the red & black oxen and told them that the white ox was spoiling the bush where they lived. He suggested that the white ox should be killed in order to save the environment. Unknowingly the two oxen thought that the lion was right and allowed him to kill and eat the white ox.
After few days, the lion again came to the red ox and told him that the black ox was arrogant and was intending to kill him (the red ox). The lion suggested that he should protect the life of the red ox by killing the black ox. The red ox agreed the lion’s plan and killed the black ox.
After few days the lion came to the red ox and said, “It is now your time to die.”
The red ox now understood the planned trick of the lion, but was powerless .
The red ox said to the lion,
“You killed me when you killed the white ox.”
