A Walk in the Canyon

When the sun begins to fade, the reds revert to orange, the greens turn richer and the cacophony of nature rises.

Commerce Tower - Kansas City

Just before my departure from Kansas City, I was granted permission to shoot from high atop the roof of the historic Commerce Tower. What a treat!

Court of the Patriarchs

Easily accessible but still rarely visited, the Court of the Patriarch is my new favorite place for a quick escape or an outdoor yoga session.

Hidden Canyon

Visitors to shuttle stop #7 have a tough choice between Hidden Canyon, Weeping Rock and the Overlook Trail. I finally managed to make time to visit this one.

Night Photography

The nights here are loud with the sounds of nature and when the moon is anything more than a sliver, the whole of the place is radiant.

An Unusually, Grey Day in Zion

Very soon after my arrival in Zion National Park, we had a humdinger of rainstorm. The after-show was epic

The Road to Zion

What a fantastic entry to the State of Utah. Just after crossing the border from Colorado, I let the drone slip away for a quick flight to capture the Martian landscape.

Las Hermanas de La Canyon

Yes, I love shooting the landscape around my home but I sure do miss creating portraits. Thankfully, the Beversdorf/Johnson sisters were up for an experimental shoot.

The Road to Zion - Video

What a way to enter a state! The oranges and reds that greeted me as I enter Utah in the early morning were stunning. I was a bit behind schedule but I HAD to stop for a bit to fly the drone.

Chair Yoga Poses

An injury, illness or operation that keeps you from being mobile doesn't need to keep you from beginning a different style of yoga practice. Chair yoga can be the perfect choice during times of hindered mobility.

The Zion Petroglyphs

Tucked away in plain sight, 100 ft from the road but they still seem hidden, these awesome artifacts of Southwest history show images of what our forebearers saw … and did.

Après la Tempête

The clouds gathered and gained strength. When they released, the whole canyon shook with torrential rains, strong cracks of thunder and whipping winds. Afterwards ... pure beauty!

Angel's Landing - GoPro

Angel's Landing is often rated as one of the very best hikes in America. I can see why!

A Brief, Photographic Update

All is well but living in the canyon means less-than-ideal internet and cell service. A small price to pay to be around this much beauty.

A Trip to Orrick, Mo - Part II

Sometimes pictures are easy to edit. Sometimes they're not and they take a bit longer. These pictures from my visit to Orrick, Mo took a bit longer because they deserved it.

Ft. Osage National Historic Landmark and a Frozen Big Muddy.

Over a very chilly weekend, we visited Ft. Osage, a super cool old fort on the banks of the Missouri River. There may have been a drone involved.
