We got up before dawn on our last day at Moab, to go back to Arches. The weather did not look too good as we ate a great breakfast at the Moab Diner (Highly Recommended). It started to lighten up though and we went into the park in the poor visibility of the low hanging cloud. When we got into the Windows area of the park, we were greeted by an other-worldly and astonishingly beautiful scene. I will post a few photos and hope I can convey some of he magic. Margaret and I will never forget this morning.
Two whistling kites, perched high on an old dead river redgum tree on the Murray River near Mannum, South Australia.
Weir Lake, on the eastern slope of Table Mountain in the Eastern Sierra range of California is really a small pool along the South Fork of Bishop Creek flowing from South Lake.
At roughly 9500' of elevation, this location is often snow covered by mid-Autumn, though at this time, there was little snow, and plenty of cover. It was nice to experience some colors of fall, having grown up on the East Coast where Autumn is much more vibrant and varied in its hues.
Congrats on Explore!

This Nature trail area (photo taken in Dec.2024) of Lake St. Clair Metropark once was fairly densely forested, adjacent to a wetland. All of the trees in this picture may end up in the canal with their neighbors that already left the stand. All of the trees with white trunks in the background are devoid of bark and are certainly dead.
Three years ago, a park ranger told me that they are Sycamore trees that shed their bark. (They are certainly not Sycamore trees, or any other tree that sheds bark. Most are maples, oak and poplars.). Another explanation for the die-off was that heavy rainfall of previous seasons flooded the forests and that the trees did not survive.

A view of the MT Timpanogos mountain range beyond Utah Lake from a remote wilderness mountain ridge (elevation 7,318). The trail leading up to this spot was one of the most challenging that I have driven. I was told that quads had problems at times... and I think that side-by-side and quad drivers were surprised to see a truck up there.

It looks like a piercing stare, but it was really just a glance in my direction from about 100 feet away.

This male Wood Duck clasped tightly to the trunk of a dead tree, on a very windy day at Lake St. Clair Metropark. All of the adjacent trees were also dead, but a nearby female Wood Duck was tucked into a tight space between the crossed limbs of a large fallen tree that leaned against another dead tree that was still upright. They seemingly were attempting to nest there.
An Osprey lights up the top of Old Friend to point the way into Horsepen Bayou in early morning fog.
An ancient tree, shaped by time and elements, stands like a sculpture among the rolling hills and patchwork fields of Mayfield's Valley. A quiet testament to resilience and beauty of the countryside.
Thanks for the views, faves, and kind comments. They're always appreciated. Have a lovely weekend 😊✨️🙏

It's a little hard to survive in Death Valley. These trees lost the battle
on the edge of Mesquite Dunes.
This small dead tree was a perfect staging spot for several species of birds feeding their recently fledged young. Among them were these Cedar Waxwings.

La noirceur des acacias morts est dû au fait qu'ils ont été brûlés par le soleil
The blackness of dead acacias is due to the fact that they have been scorched by the sun
When hiking up this hillside I came across this old dead tree. It is somehow simultaneously in keeping with the aesthetic of the landscape, and yet contrasts so much as something dead in a landscape that is so very alive.
I took this photograph with a very shallow depth of field to attempt to draw the eye to the tree as it's subject, while also contrasting the smooth soft focus with the sharp twigs and branches on the tree.

Thank you and warm regards, Jane
……… No problem - good to see some trees being left for nature to ‘tidy up’ as part of the ecosystem allowing the myriad fauna & flora to thrive - well done N/T. Taken at Attingham Park (N/Trust) a few days ago. Alan:-)…….

I obtained this surreal view of Utah Lake in the distance below by climbing a mountain in my truck. Quads and side-by-sides were surprised that a truck made it there. Although not very deep, the water is an unusual color and has a bacteria growth that deters swimming.
Zoom in to see the snow-covered mountain peak in the distance.

A painterly version of a photo posted earlier, this digitally enhanced image done for Sliders Sunday shows a Red-bellied Woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) just after he had found a treat in a dead tree stump. While the original image showed a winter scene, I decided to warm things up just a bit with the background in this one. :-)
The original image is in the first comment.
