A small village carved into the stone of a cliffside in southwest Colorado.
The remains of a civilization carved into stone at Mesa Verde National Park.

Old tree on a dark cliff side surrounded by deep snow banks. Its roots are exposed. It may be dead. Heavy snow is falling in the photo.
From Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, this old, ragged tree clings to the steep cliffs during a snowstorm. March 2019.
The tree probably isn’t even alive, just wood.

Mountain sunrise reflected in the calm, smooth waters of a lake. The sky is clear and sun reflected in the water.
Nothing like calm water for a sunrise in spectacular Glacier National Park. Though, to be honest, some clouds would have been nice.

A tree in the foreground above a river and foggy forest bathed in predawn light. Mountains in the background are set against a hazy sunrise sky.
Four summers ago my very pregnant wife and I traveled to Glacier National Park during a heat wave. To beat the heat I was on the trail at 4 am. The ground fog for this hazy sunrise was surreal.

A small group of tourists on the boardwalk above steaming hot springs are reflected with a pink sunset sky. The image is slightly oversaturated.

Left side photo showing a maze of snowy couloirs to be navigated to gain a summit. White snow against brown gray rocks both against a vivid clear blue sky.
Right side photo showing a rocky outcrop to be avoided en route to a summit. A touch of snow against brown red rocks against a vivid clear blue sky.

The Grand Canyon in shadow except for a rocky outcrop in the immediate foreground with a touch of snow.
Good morning and happy Saturday. A winter scene from the Grand Canyon is my submission for today’s #BlueSkyArtShow with its #LightAndShadow theme.

A view of deep canyons in the Utah desert. A hazy morning sky over the dry tablelands carved into various canyons.
Some Utah Canyonlands for #scape day.

Yup. Have already been doing that at a c and o park near us. People are gross unfortunately and we all need to get involved to keep our parks beautiful! #americasbestidea
The dry terrain of Canyonlands and its steep cliffs rendered in a high contrast monochrome. A splash of green color is present along the course of the Green River.
The aptly named Green River from a viewpoint at Canyonlands National Park.

Closeup of the trunk of a monarch sequoia tree. The dark inside layer has closed almost completely, and the outside bark layer has knitted closed at the top of the fire-damaged section while the bottom is still many feet apart. Behind the main tree there are a number of much younger and smaller trees with green leaves, and in front is rough, rocky soil with some visible roots.
For #ThickTrunkTuesday here’s a sequoia well on its way to healing up from a fire (hundreds of years ago, maybe thousands) #NationalParks #SaveOurParks #SequoiaKingsCanyon #AmericasBestIdea
Today is the start of National Park week in the US. Let’s save them. They’re still #AmericasBestIdea

The elephantine rock structure of Utah’s Double Arch in Arches National Park. A close crop in black and white, with one arch casting a matching shadow on the other arch almost perfectly matching the curve.

With all the bad news we are dealing with, I wanted to share a little of #NationalPark beauty. Walking the dog at the C&O canal tonight, walked down the boat ramp and took in all the beauty of the Potomac river. We are blessed with our parks! #americasbestidea #NPS 🦌🏞️ #Maryland
Just got back from an afternoon making signs to #ProtectOurParks and I'm pretty proud of these two!

Baby Arch, Arches National Park, Utah.
If you're having trouble locating the newly forming arch, that is okay, because I was focusing on the landscape that looked like a body stretched out. (The arch is at the "chin").
