Two Saturdays ago I went to the Rincon beach area to see if I could get some sunset pictures. There was a clearing storm moving through the area, so I thought I might get some good images. After I setup my camera on the tripod and waited, I noticed a huge dark cloud coming over […]

While I didn’t stay long at Bryce Canyon, I did enjoy the vistas and views. Part of the main road going through the park was closed, so I definitely need to go back and do some much needed hiking. Below are two photos I took at Bryce Canyon. Have a great week everyone!

After the Grand Teton, I headed to Bryce Canyon National Park. Entering the park from the west (HWY 89 & HWY 12) you will first go through a place called Red Canyon. It has a similar feel to Bryce Canyon, but also has it’s own great feel. Below are two photos from my trip as […]

It seemed that everyone was trying to photograph wildlife at the Grand Teton. Most people were going to very specific areas of wetland, which is where most of the wildlife was. However, I didn’t see the point in being surrounded by hundreds (yes, I do mean hundreds) of photographers and all getting the same photo. […]

I want to wish everyone a very happy holiday season! Stay safe and surround yourself with good food, friends, and the people you love. Below are two photos of a Christmas tree that is around one of the shopping malls where I live. I took it during early morning twilight. Have a great week everyone!

If you get the chance to go to the Grand Teton there is one place I suggest you check out: The Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve.

The Grand Teton was probably my second favorite park to visit while on my huge road trip in September. The mountain range is very inspiring. Below is a photo of the Teton at sunrise and another at mid day. There are a number of lakes near and around the Teton. One of my favorites was […]

There are so many different aspects to Yellowstone, including the Continental Divide. Below is a photo I took at one of the signs for the Continental Divide. Yellowstone Lake was an interesting location. While it wasn’t the most beautiful lake I’ve ever seen, it had it’s own personality, including the West Thumb Geyser Basin, which […]

After visiting the Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone, I went to the Museum of National Park Rangers. Below is a photo of the museum. The museum had some great exhibits, including uniforms, photos and other historic items that belonged to national park rangers over many decades. If you get to Yellowstone, don’t miss this museum. […]

Entering Yellowstone National Park for the first time was really great. The experience was more memorable because I entered the park through the north entrance, which has the Roosevelt Arch. Below is a photo of the arch. The first destination in the park I stopped at was the Mammoth Hot springs. I have to say […]
