Abraham Lake Canada 141

Abraham Lake is located north of Saskatchewan Crossing and east of Banff National Park. This scene was taken in October.

Aspen & Stars 137

This exposure ran for 63 minutes leaving a circular pattern of star trails behind the pattern of aspen branches. The North Star is the center dot of the star wheel.

Aspen Wheel 135

It is impossible to not look straight up to the heavens when under the canopy of golden aspen leaves because the yellow contrasts so delightfully with the vibrant blue autumn sky.

Coyote Gulch Cottonwood 162

A cottonwood tree could never grow this slender unless it was in a place protected from the wind such as this canyon. It must grow tall to capture as much sun as possible and this results in a great measuring stick for the scale of the scene.

Dillon Lake 4 Seasons 102-4

This scene dissapeared from its present state almost from the moment I took the last photo.  The background is there, and the lake is there, but the foreground is completely changed........

Geyser Steam 174

This fantastic pattern of steam is created by the pre eruption phase of Grand Geyser in Yellowsstone National Park.  Yellowstone in mid winter provides a never ending display of steam drifting in the wind, frost coated on trees and even animals and icicles in abundance.  The colder it is, the better the show. 

Lake O'Hara, Canada 187

In the detailed description I am able to explaine a few things about this location, but as for describing the beauty - I am at a loss........

Maroon Bells In The Fall 185

I nearly missed this glorious autumn moment as I lay hunkered down in my tent through two days of rain and snow.

Opabin Plateau, Canada 142

 

The late afternoon sun sets the Larch tress aglow in their yellow splendor in contrast to the dark shadows of approaching dusk -----

Opabin Plateau, Yoho National Park 142-I

Oh, the Canadian Rockies. These gorgeous larch trees glow in the late autumn sunlight in Yoho Nat. Park, near Lake Louise.  The text in the photo says it for me........

Shrine Pass Clearing Storm 151

You will very rarely see Indian Paintbrush blooming so late in the season as to be caught by an early snow........

Shrine Pass Fog 150

August 8 fog can be your friend when carrying a camera. It can obscure a dull background, magically soften a harsh scene, make the light very even so that the film exposes uniformly and create mystery ---

Spirit Island, Canada 140

Not every day needs to be topped by a clear blue sky.  While that would have made it possible to see more of the distant mountain peaks, this moody image is very delightful in its own special way.  The quiet light turns a "trumpet call" into a peaceful "flute" melody........

Swiss Alps & Tree - Brach, Switzerland 138

You can turn a tragedy into something great. My tragedy was that the Brach chocolate factory nearby was closed to the public because it was off season. I had planned on taking the tour and trying just a few samples. Now that is a tragedy!!! But because I went without chocolate, I drove on and captured this view instead. Are you glad?

Ten Mile Range Fall 189

Peak 1 of the Ten Mile Range creates its own clouds following the first snow of the season in Summit County.

Tetons Frost 196

The temperature at this moment was near 40 below zero.  In these conditions I had to keep taking my cameras back to the car every five or ten minutes and heat them up so they would continue to function.  Photography can be a "bitter" experience at times but can at the same time provide some good trophies........

Yosemite Boulders 200

The first rays of morning light caress these boulders........
