Pic of the Day // I'm always fascinated with birds. I don't think that I'm a great bird photographer, but I really enjoy taking pictures of them. This was one in Florida during a trip to Disney.

A crane, or some bird variant that is like a crane. The photograph captures the windy white neck that leads to a piercing head. The long yellow and black beak emerges from the white feathered head. And its one piercing eye looks intently down.

Pic of the Day // From our visit to Zion National Park. I find this park to be filled with quiet beauty. It doesn't smack of grandeur - rather it slowly immerses you inside its beauty.

Beautiful white and gentle mountain peaks rise up across the park. Taken from almost peak level across the park - and therefore the mountains descend rather than just up above us.

Pic of the Day // From my visit to Valley of Fire on Sunday. Sometimes you just find large rocks that create amazing line work

#valleyoffire
While walking through the Valley of Fire (read my alt text from my other Valley of Fire for a description of the Valley) you will encounter these large clusters of rocks that have fallen and broken into many boulders large and small. These large rocks are quite rippled with bands of light and dark stone. And because the lines are so distinct they create amazing angular tension in the photograph. In this photo there is a large boulder that has strong diagonal stripes going from top left down to bottom right. This boulders stripes are juxtaposed against the horizontal, lateral stripes that are across the rock faces in the background and against the large mountain face. In the foreground we also find smaller rocks with diagonal stripes (out of focus) that go from lower left to upper right, and are therefore perpendicular to the main boulder subject. The entire photo is in black and white with a strong dark vignette that is dark (almost black) in the lower left of the frame, but against the white sky in the upper right - again creating a diagonal tension.

The Valley of Fire is a magical place. When you enter the most visited portion of the park, you have to drive through a road that winds down through a deep and vibrant rust rock scape that towers above you. All the rocks look like they are melting. The valley itself is a vibrant range of colors from yellows, to orange, to red, to brown, to green - and the colors are typically strongly striped. Some rocks and mountains jut straight up into the sky, while others lean and fall on harsh angles. Other rocks look like frozen molten rock. This photo looks across a set of rock faces that are 200 feet or so above ground level. Thrusting straight up in the distance is a marvelous rock face mountain that is strongly grooved from peak to ground. My photo captures this framed landscape with minimal color, allowing the contrasts of the rocks to stand out against the wispy-cottony clouds in the sky.

Pic of the Day // While in Latin America I fell in love with lizards. Everywhere I went I found a bevy of them. I rarely feel like I'm photographing them without them posing for me.

a splendid lizard poking its head up over the grassy hill. Both the foreground and background are out of focus, drawing attention to the wonderful and scaly detail of the lizards head and skin.

A bald silly man sitting behind an electronic drum kit looking all angst. Video projected upon said silly man, while he gets his angst on.

An upward photograph of Antelope Canyon - a slot canyon. The rocks are banded with dark reds, dark browns, light yellows and oranges - like a tiger with its stripes.

Pic of the Day // Again in Costa Rica, snapin' pics while taking a trip to the volcano. Hopefully its obvious that I've applied plenty of artistic adjustments to the photo. I like tweaking photos, much like Ansel Adams did with dodging and burning.

So this has to be one of the cooler iPhone things I’ve discovered. I do this time lapse photo that is a Live Photo for some reason. I convert it to vid and it’s wonderful. I mean this is about as silly a little stream as you might get!

A waterfall about 25 feet tall surrounded by tall cliff walls and trees growing all around. The photo is a timelapse with the photo capturing several seconds of water flowing over the wall and crashing on the rocks below.

Large colorful sky going from blues to purples to reds then orange, then yellows. Cottony clouds stretched and dabbed across the sunsetting sky. Boats off in the distance on a glimmering calm bay.
