Dainty Checkered Skipper warming on a spent Queen Ann's Lace flower head at the edge of an Alfalfa Field.
Uncommon and cute.

A Strange, Strange World we live in Master Jack
Eastern Phoebe carrying a beak load of soft moss to line its nest and make it a more comfortable place to raise its brood.
Bloodroot blooms in the early spring with a beautiful blossom having white petals and many golden-yellow stamens. Very common native woodlot wildflower.
Just playing around trying to do something for Halloween. Don’t know if this will be the final version. But I am pretty happy with it.
Body of a dead Bumblebee impaled on the spine of a Teasel flower-head.
Not supposed to happen. Teasel spines present a very real danger to butterflies and other insects, but this is a first for me..
This was a nice surprise to find on Antelope Island - not any large fields but small isolated clusters of these
Finally, the temps feel like Spring as 2016's first Honey Bee (for me) visits an awakening Grecian Wildflower in my garden.
The 1883 cemetery sits at the base of the Oquirrh Mountain range; its the second oldest cemetery in the Salt Lake Valley. The cemetery overlooks the Salt Lake Valley and the Great Salt Lake.

The Great Salt Lake has no tides, but the water does shift and move from the wind. In most of the places I am shooting, the water is paper-thin to knee-deep. The shallowest parts can cover great distances, and small winds will push the water.
Here the "tide is in," and you can see previous dry areas where dirt bikes have ridden are now underwater.

I took this picture while standing in New Mexico and on Navajo Nation land. Somewhere in the middle of this picture you cross into Colorado and Ute Mountain Tribe land. This is off US-491 about 25 miles North of Ship Rock, New Mexico.
So much for the geography, I pulled over because the morning, while overcast, still allowed some nice dawn light and reminded me of New Mexico's nickname, "Land of Enchantment". It sure felt Enchanted that morning. This is my favorite picture I've taken this year. I've been sitting on it, trying to decide when I'd give it up. By giving it up, I mean, once posted it becomes part of the stream, and each day as new pictures are posted it eventually becomes kinda lost in with all the other pictures, if that makes any sense. Anyway, I like this one a lot, and now send it on its way.
This time of year the Great Salt Lake is 3c (37f) and there is no other way than to go for a stroll in the lake to find sunrise scenes like this. On a frosty morning, a scene like this warms my heart and makes me excited as to see all the beauty and to capture this amazing light!

Southern Utah landscape can be barren but beautiful in its own unique way. This is a location I will visit a few times in the hope of catching it with snow and some spring color.

The light is just beginning to filter into the forest. The morning is alive with the sounds of nature and I am so lucky to be here to witness another day.

Massive panorama taken in the middle of the Fire Wave looking from side to side.
Take a look at the Max Zoom and try to find the one person visible in the shot. (No, it's not a trick like someone's thumb in the corner... it's a full person hidden somewhere in the photo.)
