• This Just In! Zion Canyon On Fire!

  Was in Zion Canyon today and noticed trees were on fire. The cottonwoods, maples and oaks were aflame. I got one shot for this post today. The rest to follow in a few days. Look for post tomorrow on the surreal and otherworldly Yellow Rock. You won’t believe it.

• Miscellaneous Utah Images or Good Enough Not To Be Deleted

  From the last 2 weeks but don’t fit a category. Leftovers? Untrashable?

• On The Road To Delicate Arch

  Took a quick trip over to Arches National Park with my main purpose to shoot Delicate Arch at night, under the stars. But along the way, I had to drive through that amazing Southern Utah landscape again including Capital Reef National Park.

• A Trek Up To Zion’s Colorful Echo Canyon

  The other day I was in Zion National Park, scouting out locations where the fall colors may be beginning. There were hints that fall foliage was about to burst but not this day. Echo Canyon is a steep climb about 1,500 feet above the Zion Canyon  floor and it was possible fall colors would appear…

• Bryce is Cool

  A quick trip to Bryce Canyon for a photo workshop left me just enough time to snap these shots.

• Photo Of The Week- Toilet With A View

  This bathroom perched on the rim of The Grand Canyon at Toroweap probably has the best view of any toilet I’ve ever seen. If it only had windows!

• Fall Colors Have Arrived In Zion! Sort Of

  At the upper elevations (8,000 feet) in and around Zion National Park where the aspen trees  grow, the leaves have not changed much in color.  They are mostly green still.  Except for one spot I found Friday where the sun seems to shine all day long at Kolob Reservoir. Images below are of the colorful…

• Photo Of The Week- Macro Sunflower

  Have you really looked at a sunflower closeup?  Looks like stars or starfish around a scoop of beluga caviar. I used an extension tube, not my 105mm macro lens. The extension tubes are cheap and allow you to get in really close. They attach between your normal lens and the camera body. Kenko extension tubes…
