Difficult Choices

Should I go over to the left and stand by that nice warm camp fire;  should I go in the wall tent with the stove going full blast, or should I just stand here in the freezing dark and stare and stare and stare at the sky...

I decided to do all three, in rotation.  And it was good.

Fallen Colors

Limited Visibility

I keep trying to see what's just past those trees, but I can't quite make it out...

The First Day of Halloween!

It's the first day of Halloween, and my favorite witch is so excited--  Spiders and candy corn and naughty costumes for everyone! *clink*.

Sunset Launch

Launching our canoe into String Lake in Teton National Park at sunset.  A beautiful paddle up into Leigh Lake, with the elk bugling in the dark all around us.  Every day should end like this!

Just Another Day

... by Oingo Boingo ("Dead Man's Party," 1986) was playing in my head while I worked on this.  The day itself was of course not at all just another.  Probably reverse psychology on my part.  Lower Green River Lake, WY.

Dawn Patrol

We always think of the sky as blue, but if you think about it, there are times of the day it is not, even in clean unpolluted air.  This guy doesn't care-- he's just out enjoying the solitude of the morning before all his buddies show up.

Coneflower and Bug

Following up on the "blooms and bugs" theme.

Stinkweed and Bug

Whenever I take a flower shot, there's always a bug in it somewhere.  Some are just more obvious than others.

Early Pastel 2

I think this will be the last of the dawn shots for a little while...

Sea Wall

This sea wall is definitely feeling its age.  But just because you're old and tired doesn't mean you get a break, though.  The sea just keeps pounding away...

Cabo Sunrise

Sunrise photos are like love songs.  There are way too many of them, but we just can't seem to stop ourselves from making even more.  What the heck-- I like 'em anyway.

Early Pastel

Pre-dawn on a rocky (pebbly?) beach.  I love that time of day-- the color changes constantly.
