XC skiing and hiking at Bryce Canyon for a couple days was heaven. The second photo, of the melting muddy Bryce Creek, had me getting my feet soaked in cold slushy water. It was worth it. Also skied amazing Bristlecone Pine ridgelines, and Ponderosa Pine meadows. Really really sweet. Now down in the low country (relatively speaking) of the Escalante.
My past careers as science teacher and geologist mean that I can't help but teach about the natural history of photogenic places around the world. But photography is not forgotten. You'll also see practical tips about where and how to photograph the destinations. And once a week, Friday Foto Talk gives photography tips and how-to on a selected topic, for novices on up to expert.
What you won't find here is endless discussion about me braving dangerous weather, terrain or wild animals to get the shot. Nor will there be cheerleading gear talk or marketing pitches. I promise to leave that to other blogs, of which there are many.
Please don't be shy; your words are what makes my day!
