Endurance - There were several great trees on Windy Ridge. This one was the most unique. I loved the bare, twisted trunk. I caught this just before all the color left the sky.
American Basin was the most beautiful I've ever seen it this year. Every variety of wildflower seemed to be at the very peak of bloom while we were there.
We stayed for last light on the peaks, which resulted in having to drive a section of Cinnamon Pass in the dark, but it was worth it.
I love these moments at Garden of the Gods, when sunlight first shines through the opening between the spires. A very nice moment of tranquility during turbulent times.
String Lake and Leigh Lake are both beautiful. One thing I really enjoyed were the completely different scenes offered by each small beach between the foliage. A walk of 100 yards gave me a feeling of being at a completely different lake.
Pulpit Rock is a coastal feature at the southern tip of the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England. The artificial stack of rock was left in the 1870s after a natural arch was cut away by quarrymen at the Bill Quarry on the famous headland, Portland Bill. It was intentionally left in place as a quarrying relic.
The landmark was designed with religious connections; the large slab of rock leaning again the main stack depicted an open bible leaning on a pulpit. The rock has remained a popular tourist attraction on the island, and is often photographed and climbed. Despite the danger, for many decades Pulpit Rock has been a popular place for tombstoning.
Every time I visit Oxbow Bend, I see a few pelicans in this same spot. First reaction is frustration, because they can mess up a perfect reflection, but they are beautiful, large birds, so in this case, I just switched my shooting mode, popped on a longer lens and captured one gracefully swimming across the scene.
This photo seemed appropriate today because we have begun talking about a path out of these challenging times. The path is narrow but defined by beams of light.

Bryce Canyon National Park
We almost didn't make it to this one. As I explained on my second chance Monday post, a big winter storm hit the area on the day we were going to drive to Bryce. The park even closed. So we headed to Zion where the weather wasn't as bad. On our last day the storm suddenly ended, so we decided to get up early and head out to Bryce, then come back to Zion and hike Angel's Landing before driving back to Vegas that night. It was a big day, but completely worth it. Bryce looked amazing covered in a pristine blanket of fresh white powder. It brought out the beauty, color, and details of the amazing rock formations.
And once again, no crowds. :)
The geology of Pembrokeshire provides amazing images. This was taken on the cliffs of the Army Training Area, not visited often it is a real treat to have to yourself.
The 4WD trail to Yankee Boy Basin was quite the challenge. I was kinda proud of myself and Wanda (my 4Runner) when we made it all the way to the top.
The payoff was the wildflowers were blooming and the light softened on and off for us. Overall, lots of fun.
Chapel in Fall - We had a fun time in Grand Teton National Park the past week. Fall colors were at peak, but there were a couple days of thick smoke from nearby fires. Sunset light lit up these autumn aspens and framed this little chapel beautifully. It was a nice surprise to see the little bird sitting atop the cross too.
