  • This graceful small waterfall adds a point of interest below the opening of the Narrows of the Virgin River in Zion National Park. Named for Gary Edward Adams, it is a location that he frequently photographed in large format black and white film during the 1980-90's. He was a master of his chosen art.

  • Peace in Kolob<br />
<br />
This image of a wheat field in mid-spring on the Kolob Plateau of southern Utah was made on legacy 4x5 color transparency film. Imagine the sense of peace at sunset when not a breath of wind stirred the delicate stalks. Meanwhile the camera shutter whirred away at f/64 for 3 seconds - I love that sound. To a large format photographer, having worked at setting up a folding wooden field camera, reading a light meter, making all the adjustments while viewing the image upside down and backwards on ground glass, that whirring shutter sound itself is the satisfying reward for all the labor and patience. Digital is the new king, but oh how sweet the days of film were when rich colors of a scene like this could be found and created on 4-inch by 5-inch film masters.
    Peace in Kolob
  • The sandstone wilderness of the southwestern deserts makes a perfect destination for a wandering photographer. Ancient sand dunes, frozen in time time now rise in sloping forms of distinctive shape, line and texture. Both physically challenging and mentally renewing at the same time, isolation allows one to focus and recharge the creative powers.

  • Storms in the western desert arise in an instant, with furious wind and rain in cloudbursts. And so often, especially at sunset, the storm will break. A narrow window of light will appear at the desert horizon between heaven and earth. This rainbow appeared at a perfect moment in time, offering redemption from danger and fear, bringing instead, peace and hope.

  • This view of Watchman Peak and the Virgin River is a classic western image. Along with a million other photographers, I have stopped on the bridge in the middle of Zion National Park on every trip I've ever made through the canyon. This one is my personal favorite. Made in deepest, darkest January, the inclination of the sun is low and far to the south, illuminating the ridge with mellow sunset and warming the distant Eagle Crags with a surrounding cape of snow.

  • When winter hands off to spring with just the right conditions, seeds from wildflower annuals soften their coats, swell and germinate after having waited sometimes for years. Then the miracle of renewal occurs and the desert blooms in glory for a few wonderful weeks.

  • This lone and proud bloom stands in a sandy wash in the mountains of the Mojave Desert. Fresh flooding that disturbs the sand encourages germination and a chance for the plant to grow without competition.
    Desert Chicory (Rafinesquia Neomexicana)
  • The evening primroses in the desert are often found along with sand verbena and other blooming annuals.

  • Delicate white blossoms of the Dune Evening Primrose appear after sundown as they begin to release their fragrance to attract pollinators. The evening primroses are often found along with sand verbena and other blooming annuals.

  • Pray for Peace and hope to all today . . . <br />
Matthew 26:28 ". . . Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:<br />
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."

  • The Desert Star blooms in the early spring wave of annual wildflowers, preferring open sandy soil with gentle drainage. They're darn cute and in the category of 'belly flowers.'

  • The American West is home to many dune systems, none more appealing than those found in Death Valley National Park.

  • Always the first 'gold' found in the desert every spring, the Mojave Gold Poppy opens early when first lit by sunlight, lasting until the end of day.

  • The worse the weather, the better the pictures. This photo in the field was made by Steve Roberts in December 2008. Same day as the two snow images of Zion in this collection. We had the park to ourselves all day, making first tracks anywhere we went. Absolute best day ever at ZNP.
