An old aspen, twisted by the winds and weather atop the Paunsaungunt Plateau (Bryce Canyon NP) of southern Utah, opens its arms to spring. This was during a bluebird day XC skiing through the Ponderosas and occasional Aspens. Very very nice ski, highly recommend this time of year at that park, because of the option to both ski atop the plateau, and hike below the rim (though the trails are muddy, slushy and slippery). Nights were cold and star-filled, and days were surprisingly warm.
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!
