As I was walking along the trail atop Mt Lemmon in the Santa Catalina Mountains, the ferns look dried up and dead. But look closer! They are still beautiful, but in a completely different way. Enlarging the photo brings out the full beauty.

I was so excited to finally come across this beetle again on Mt Lemmon. I had briefly seen one years ago along the Green Mountain Trail but it flew away before I had a chance to capture an image. Supposedly they can right themselves with a click. I didn't try to make that happen but it sure would be interesting to see.
I joined Ned and the gang on the final summer Mount Lemmon hike on August 26 2015. We hiked the loop formed by the Mt. Lemmon Trail and the Meadow Trail (formerly the Power Line Road and the Lemmon Park Trail) at the top of the mountain.

I've decided to start a 52 weeks project. I did a 365 project a couple years ago and although I didn't produce very many great images, I feel like I was at my most creative that time. So I'm doing a 52 week to get my mind working again.
This photo was lit only by moonlight. No flashes or lamps.
I set my camera to take a long exposure and I had my girlfriend reflect moonlight into my face. I posed and I held as still as I could until the shutter opened and closed.

The "eyes" on aspen trees in the Catalina Mountains. These are the result of lower branches falling off as the tree grows tall, leaving a 'scar' on the trunk
In an open area at the top of Mount Lemmon (9,159'), large clumps of these large flowers were blooming here and there. This shot holds up nicely, if you enlarge it.
Yes, I have to thank Duncan Smith for the wonderful word of gloaming. Somehow I never noticed the word before.
