These two photos were taken last year on the Mt. Nebo Scenic Loop. It was raining when i took the picture, so there wasn't any direct sunlight. I loke the saturated look of the colors. I especially like the white tree trunks on the Quaking Aspens. They stand out and help contrast the colors in the photo. This was a fun drive. We stopped and had a picnic. The Fall Scenic drive is a fun tradition that Teri and I have..

Big Cottonwood
James Harman stands overlooking the Wasatch. This was a fun hike up Big Cottonwood canyon. The trail is called Mill B North Fork. James and I were taking a break and I saw the cliff his is standing on. I told him to pose for the photo and it ended up being a great silhouette shot of him. I think it would be a good poster for Man vs Wild.

Norris Geyser Basin
There isn't a more therapeutic place for me than Yellowstone National Park. I could go there every year on a road trip and be perfectly content. Teri and I took a little trip in the Fall of 2006. Perfect time to go. The shadows, geysers, and the storm moving in from the left makes this photo a favorite. There is something eery about how the geysers add to the feature of the Yellowstone landscape. It never gets boring.
Rocket Valley
Rocket Valley, Utah, AKA, Skul Valley. This was taken one evening after flying model rockets out in Skull Valley. Its a dried up lake bed looking west at the Cedar Mountain Range. It was awesome, there were clouds everywhere and just as the sun was setting it peaked out and put on a show for us all to enjoy. I love being out there flying rockets.
Delicate Arch
Delicate Arch - this photo was pure luck. Everything came together perfectly. It had been raining the entire hike. About 10 minutes after we arrived at the lookout, the sun peeped through the clouds in the western horizon and painted the arch perfectly for about 1 minute. It caused the saturated air to turn to a vibrant blue, almost purple, the La Sals looked perfect in the background, the few remaining clouds and the dark evening shadows add just enough to compliment the arch and keep you interested. Great moment!!
