Halloween day-- weather overhead was beautiful, with incoming storms. A great photographer's day if you had a fast enough trigger finger. The clouds were moving so fast you could never be sure what your light would be from one second to the next.
The Very Large Array near Socorro, NM. An amazing scientific facility in a fairly remote place. 
First storm of the season was pretty rough. We're thinking that we may be in for a doozy of a winter. The old hydrant in the corral seems to agree.
I think this is some variant of Queen Anne's Lace, found on the North Teton Creek trail in Wyoming. It was a little taller than me, which accounts for the low perspective.
Sorry about the Pink Floyd reference. It's just my age showing again. Thought this one was a good candidate for a monochrome treatment, but I just love the warmth of the late sun on the new gold straw, so color it is yet again.
Inclement weather on a drive through Dillon, MT this spring. The rain in this cloud, when I got there, was phenomenal. I must say that shooting while driving offers challenges that still lifes can never match. My greatest technical accomplishment was that I stayed in my lane! But of course, I did not attempt to look through the viewfinder. So if this photo were to have any artistic merit, that would be just lucky happenstance.
Its been a while since I built a wallpaper-- my desktop at work is getting a bit stale. Since I've been intrigued by water lately, thought I'd try something with this trickle of water going over a rock. Download size is 3840x1200 -- big enough for dual widescreens.
Snow melt from the spectacular White Cloud Mountains in Idaho has a long way to fall to get down to the valley, and it wastes no time getting there. This is a part a series of waterfalls on what will become Big Boulder Creek further down the hill. As an aside, we were a little surprised to find lakes at altitude still under ice on July 4, with lots of snow still left in the cirques and passes. Must have been an even cooler spring than I thought.
Another banana tree. The new fronds are so bright they positively glow next to the older ones. I wonder how new the new growth is, and how the old are...
Palm frond and banana tree. The banana trees are cool because all their fronds lie in a flat plane, making a beautiful chevron hatch-work. Wasted lots of pixels trying to get a shot I liked of them.
A spring storm descends on the Boulder River Valley, somewhere near Dunn Peak. Not a really dramatic photo, but I liked all the layers of light in the sky, and the glow of last year's grass.
Frozen river spray from way back in January, when it was only slightly colder than it is now in April. I love how the sun plays on these formations.
For some reason, gravity acted in different directions on these icicles, causing a strange convergence. I like them for the way they throw the light around--expect more ice as subject in the coming weeks as I dig the winter's shootings out of my camera.
I probably should have named this one "Fun with gels" or some such. I've been in the basement playing with my new Cactus wireless flash triggers lately-- they're very nice, thank you. Given all the stuff I'm always tripping over, its nice at least not to have the flash wires in the way anymore. Subject is my very patient Ibanez Artcore.
