Tomorrow is a big holiday in the U.S.  We will be meeting up with family in Girdwood, Alaska, for a few days, and won’t be traveling with a laptop, so this will be the last post this week.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Sticking with the tree theme – here is another image from snow storm last weekend. 

The gloomy, dark storm clouds moving up Resurrection Bay, really helped emphasis the fresh white snow on the branches.

This weather has me thinking it might be a perfect time to point out my post on winter photography tips.

Mountain Ash Berries

These mountain ash berries in our backyard were buried by another foot of fresh powder snow yesterday.

Lots of precipitation, along with unusually cold temperatures made for a lousy summer, but those same conditions have made for an awesome winter!Read More

We are done converting, adjusting and key-wording photos from the last few months – that was pretty fast for us!  I’m not sure about this photo, but it is an image that struck a cord with Janine, so I’m posting it for her.  🙂

Take a look at more of our Canyonlands National Park photos.

I photographed sunset from this beautful viewpoint a couple different evenings on our trip.

If you look closely, you can see the White Rim Road.  The best overnight camping sites along this 4 wheel drive road are by permit only and fill months in advance.  I would love to camp down there someday, hopefully on our next visit.  We have friends from Seward who have mountain biked the trail and said it was amazing.

Here are more Canyonlands National Park photos.

We are slowing working our way through converting and adjusting images from our last trip.  Here is a photo of Lake Powell from our aerial day – we covered a lot of ground that day!

Slickrock Bike Trail, Moab, Utah.

Before we left Moab, we had to bike the world famous Slickrock Bike Trail.  All I can say is, wow!  It really is a lot of fun – riding on solid rock like that is a treat.  The views are amazing.  You can look across the Colorado River into Arch National Park.  Other viewpoints give you views of the town of Moab, the La Sal Mountains, and, well really, you can see 360 degrees in all directions.Read More
