Spent most of the day exploring in the Grand Staircase National Monument. Really, one road, 15 miles, 4hours. Yes, a few fotos and a conversation with a very nice BLM Ranger. Jeff stopped as we were goofing around with my GPS (no, we weren’t lost, the mesa we were trying to find was) and chatted [...]

I’m thankful to be here in my favorite place on Earth. There’s every kind of desert image available within a few miles of ‘camp,’ and I take full advantage of it. This morning we went to Hanksville to check out some new roads we found a nice lady who knew the familly that built the [...]

OK, so here we are, looking at all sorts of cool stuff and I just had to go back to Factory Butte. As you’ll see, the sky was spectacular in the Park, so I figured it would be equally good out at the Butte. Besides, we had a couple hours to sunset, so what the [...]

Well, today was an interesting day. We started by heading down into a slot canyon I call Nick’s Canyon to see if we could get a decent image of The Castle from down there. It had snowed here a couple weeks ago and there was still a lot of mud in the canyon bottom. The [...]

Got to Capitol Reef last night, and of course the first thing I did was head to Factory Butte for sunrise today. I once took a workshop with the National Geographic Magazine staff. They had a photo editor, a designer and a couple photographers there to guide us. We were told to come up with [...]

The title of today’s blog is a sort of recap of Wyoming’s seasons. At least what we’ve had so far. It’s snowing again, and I think Winter is going to set in for good now. Between the two or three snowstorms in September and October, the cotoneasters in the front yard got all autumny. I [...]
