]]>This seed pod looks like a neurological road map when you get up close!

Fall

]]>I love looking for patterns in trees, especially in the fall. In Glacier National Park last fall, the leaves were turning and the breeze was blowing. Everything about the day I made this image reminds me of fall.

Pebbles

]]>Along the shore of St. Mary Lake in Glacier National Park, the fall leaves were barely beginning to turn. This little leaf could have come a long way to get to that shore!

Prairie Wildflower

]]>Near Pawnee Buttes there was a lone white flower growing on the plains. It was very windy (a constant companion on the plains), but I was able to get this image between the gusts. I love how graceful and light this little flower was among all the hard and brittle grass.

Painted Water

]]>Mill Creek outside of Moab is fenced in one one side by large red rock walls. On a hot, bright afternoon hike, I was cooling my feet splashing around the creek and noticed the dancing reflections in the ripples. Using a slow shutter speed, I noticed how the water looked like a painting with splashes of color. Not a typical view of Southwestern Utah, but a beautiful detail, nonetheless!

Water Painting

]]>This image was created as I was splashing around Mill Creek outside of Utah on a hot, clear day in May. The water level was very low due to a mild winter. As I waded through the water, I noticed the reflections of the sky, vegetation, and red rock walls in the ripples. The abstract nature looks like a water painting!

Water Scales

]]>In very shallow water with a current, you can find interesting patterns in the way the water moves. Add to that red rock and bright green algae and voila! You have colorful textures! As I was cooling off in Mill Creek on a hot, clear day outside of Moab, I saw this jewel-like scene.

Owl Ice

]]>It was a chilly morning in Rocky Mountain National Park, but it warmed up enough during the day to keep the creeks flowing. That is the perfect recipe for interesting ice formations! I think this pattern looks like an owl.

Ice Leaves

]]>Winter creeps into being while other seasons seem to officially arrive. The ice fingers of winter encircled these recently fallen aspen leaves one morning in Rocky Mountain National Park. It had not officially snowed that night, but the frost was noticeably thick. Fall seemed to have just begun, but this morning was a reminder that winter is quickly approaching.

Painted Desert

]]>In the Artist's Palette area of Death Valley, the rocks and sand are various colors due to their minerals. Among the purple rocks, this little plant took root.
