What’s Snow In Arizona

I ran into lots of snow at the Grand Canyon last week but even more when I left and drove through the Kaibab National Forest on the way to Flagstaff.

At the Kaibab National Forest near the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. The Quaking Aspens are the main producer of the colorfest. The foliage is near peak and I expect the color to last for a few more weeks although remnants from a hurricane coming in this week may have a negative affect.

Fall colors have arrived to the Kaibab National Forest in Northern Arizona.

My friend the Chipmunk!

My friend decided to camp with me in the Kaibab National Forest near The Grand Canyon. The Kaibab is about 20 degrees cooler than where I live near Zion NP and is a welcome relief from the heat.

I spent a few days last week, beating the heat of Southern Utah’s desert, at the cool Kaibab National Forest next to Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona. The spring rains and current monsoonal thunderstorms produced a colorful wildflower scene. More pics of the Grand Canyon to follow soon!

My Favorite Tree To Photograph. Trees?

California, Out In The Field, Sierras

A favorite tree? Who cares? The trees care. As a matter of fact, some well-known tree types have approached me about making them “My Favorite Tree To Photograph” The sequoia told me that they are the largest living organism in the world. Big is not always better. It’s hard to photograph a sequoia, you need a really wide lens. The palm tree said they offer style and some shade in the hot desert environment. So do roofs and air conditioning. The cottonwood said they they are extremely colorful in the autumn. So are Aspens and that’s why they are my favorite tree to photograph because of their multiple personality traits including the distinctive white bark. Aspens look cool even without leaves. Below are images of aspens in all four seasons.
