Everytime I take the 1:20min. drive up here to Mt. Charleston I'm drawn to this mountain peak.
SCENIC SUNBURST
Trekking around Kyle Canyon for a decent "Autumn type" scene like I saw in Washington DC. I was attracted by the tree on the left so I started up a small steep cliff to capture it. I was wearing polarized sunglasses which brought out the light gently traipsing through the grass. I had my 5DMK2 and the Sony A5000 and I took shots with both cameras. The sunbursts from the Sony A5000 wins by a landslide! =D
Aside from its beauty in nature's surroundings, the Aspen tree provides other uses. One such use is for making matches due to its low flammability; it is also used to make beddings for animals because it doesn't contain the phenols that pine and juniper wood have. The leaves and bark may also be used to make a kind of bitter tea that can help with mild urinary tract inflammations, and the leaves can be used to treat burns, irritations and swollen joints. Nature is full of healing potentials; as such a precautionary measure should always be researched before applying them for field usage.
First time I saw this species was 3 years ago near the summit of Mount Charleston, Nevada (elevation 3632m/11916 ft)..... An hour drive from the Strip of Las Vegas; together with the Pygmy Nuthatch. I missed both flight shot of the 2 species.
I was fortunate enough to have captured this flight shot of the MOUNTAIN CHICKADEE this time around but sadly, I missed the Pygmy Nuthatch in-flight once again.....
I have no choice but to go back to M.Charleston in the future to bag the P. Nuthatch.
Unless someone would kindly give this East Coast guy a hint for an easier spot to bag the Pygmy Nuthatch...(smile.)
