    After going through my photos from the trip I took during Fall 2017, I have to say: the day spent at Mt. Saint Helen’s in Washington state was magical for me. FYI, this post is completely out of sync with the rest of the trip blogs. If you’re visiting the park, don’t be fooled by…

    (Still catching up with my trip from Fall 2017.) After leaving Crater Lake, Oregon, the RV train went northeast to Washington. We had received the first campground reservation cancellation while at Crater Lake. The Columbia Gorge was on fire thanks to a thoughtless teenager throwing a firecracker into it. That was our next several stops,…

He sent links to everyone to print their own itineries. I figured out early on since Joe was driving and I was riding with him, he would have…

    Anyone who has maintained a blog or photography site knows it takes time and organization. It also becomes a habit that makes one hanker for ways to better describe the beauty of the photographs. The writer gets in a groove of thinking about their next post as life goes along. Then when life intervenes and…

    Almost too much beauty – all in the same day!  Thank goodness photographs allow one to take in the scenes at a leisurely pace again and again. The little house and granary on the blog header was perched on the side of a canyon, protected by a large slanted, smooth rock porch. We slogged through the sand at…

    After another sunrise shoot at Monument Valley, we traveled north to Utah. It was mid-day by the time we arrived at Goosenecks State Reserve – the light was kind of flat, but you get the idea. The horizon line was a challenge, but I think this is correct. The reason for the sloped horizon line of the Goosenecks may be…

    Monument Valley, Arizona, a Navajo Nation Monument Valley Park residing in the northeastern corner of the state. When photographer friends and I were there in the fall of 2015, the temperatures were near 100°, dropping a few degrees at night. A waning full moon peeked around the monoliths. This part of Arizona and Utah had been the…
