By October 26th, we’re in a frenzy of pumpkin obsession. We cannot wait for the big November holiday for pumpkin pie. No siree, we need pumpkin everything! Bars, cookies, coffee, cheesecake, pasta, and oatmeal. Pumpkin Chunkin’, pumpkin patches, festivals, bake-offs, and television specials. Let’s not forget jack-o-lantern carving, too! This fruit grabs Americans’ attention.
As it should! This squash is native to North America. The oldest evidence of pumpkin-related seeds dates back to somewhere between 7000 and 5500 BC to seeds found in Mexico.
The word pumpkin originates from the word pepon, which means “large melon” in Greek.
Capitol Reef National Park is one of the lessor visited parks in Utah but in my opinion still very scenic.
When we stopped at the visitor center, I saw this cool picture of this old barn up on one of the walls. I thought it made a great composition so I had to capture it.
Luckily it's only a mile or 2 down from the visitor center at the Gifford Homestead.
Per the National Park service website... The original home was built in 1908 by polygamist Calvin Pendleton. He and his family occupied it for eight years. The original house had a combined front room/kitchen and two small bedrooms. An outside ladder accessed two upstairs bedrooms. Pendleton also constructed the barn and smokehouse, as well as the rock walls near the house and on the mesa slopes above it.
Wishing all my Flickr friends a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Shot from a distance with the OM1 72mm lens, equivalent to 144mm on full frame. It is very sharp, very happy with this lens.
There was a light snow that had fallen in Arches National Park the day before we got there. It was nice to see that it hadn't melted as it provides some nice contrast amongst the landscape.
This is an example of one of the many hiking paths within the park. The evening sun was just hitting the peaks of the rocks in the distance.
Badwater Basin is an endorheic basin in Death Valley National Park, Death Valley, noted as the lowest point in North America and the United States, with a depth of 282 ft (85.5 m) below sea level.
El invierno en el Parque Nacional Gesäuse. Un lugar que visito frecuentemente, la entrada desde Admont hacia el parque del Gesäuse sobre el río Enns en el "Lauferbauerbrücke" en una luminosa y fría mañana de invierno.

A pretty spot in Yosemite National Park. We had lunch at this spot along the lake shore, so I set up some long exposures while eating :)

Quebec City, Quebec
Constructed between 1877 and 1886, the Parliament Building features the Second Empire architectural style[2] that was popular for prestigious buildings both in Europe (especially France where the style originated) and the United States during the latter 19th century. Although somewhat more sober in appearance and lacking a towering central belfry, Quebec City's Parliament Building bears a definite likeness to the Philadelphia City Hall, another Second Empire edifice in North America which was built during the same period. Even though the building's symmetrical layout with a frontal clock tower in the middle is typical of legislative institutions of British heritage, the architectural style is believed to be unique among parliament buildings found in other Canadian provincial capitals Its facade presents a pantheon representing significant events and people of the history of Quebec.
It seems like there must be an interesting historical story behind these unique rock formations at Arches National Park. There are amazing landscapes throughout the park!
