  • No words other than: 'All the glory to God.'
    God's Promise at Red Rock - Out of t..torm
  • Clear water and shady cover dresses Lamoille Creek, near where it exits one of the most beautiful canyons in north America. Bright greens and the beginning of fall's favorite color - yellow - covers the cottonwoods bending over the bend in the creek.
    Lamoille Creek, northern Nevada
  • Rich color fills the sky over central Nevada at sunset. This view from nearly 10,000 feet shows distant peaks and ranges with a visual distance of over 60 miles of open country. Traveling and camping in this kind of territory restores the soul and brings personal peace. 2nd Annual Great Nevada Exploratory Photographic Expedition - 2014

  • 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.
    Redemption, Cedar Breaks NM
  • 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.

  • 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.
    The Virgin and the Watchman
  • Like a prayer whispered in secret, the Milky Way seems to ascend into the heavens above the outreached arms of slender aspen trees in autumn. Great Basin National Park is a wonderful place to seek God and nature. Located so remotely from cities and towns that it is one of the best places in the lower 48 states. Clear skies and cool nights allow for excellent views into the heavens.

  • Mule deer are marvelous creatures. This one, feeding in a marshy meadow at dawn in northern Nevada, is carrying a baby soon to be born. Wild irises bloom in the background; sage in the front.

  • Classic Fall color scenes always evoke a mix of excitement along with urgency - winter is coming. A little while longer, rich color and amazement fill the heart regarding what the Creator has crafted for us to enjoy.
    Oaks in Autumn-Maine
  • Wild and free and the perfect symbol of life in the Nevada rangelands. Given enough free browse and open water, mustangs prosper. When their range is limited, they suffer just like any other animal in the wild. There are conflicting opinions of how to best manage Nevada’s wild mustang herds. But to see a gang of them running free through the sage with flying manes and tails, with a powerful stallion at the lead is a genuine thrill.

  • Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park contains a town built in the 1890s that is preserved in a state of arrested decay. A true Nevada ghost town, many of Berlin’s original buildings remain and some of its original residents are interred in the town’s cemetery. Trails throughout the town site tell the story of Berlin and its mine. The park is also home to the most abundant concentration, and largest known remains, of Ichthyosaurs, an ancient marine reptile that swam in a warm ocean that covered central Nevada 225 million years ago. The fossils are protected and displayed at the park’s Fossil House. For nostalgic reasons, this ranger station just totally appeals to me, with open range before it and the US and Nevada flags flying together in the desert breeze.

  • This may be the last fine art landscape photograph of beautiful Lamoille Canyon's famous aspen forests. (See addendum below).<br />
    Gouged out by ancient glaciers, Lamoille Canyon in the Ruby Mountains is a gem. Streams altered by beaver ponds and year-round water freshen the landscape and welcome hikers and hunters. Vigorous aspen and cottonwoods offer rich color in the fall. The peaks are all well above 10,000 feet and inspire positivity to visitors. Elko County residents can be proud of their beautiful Rubies.<br />
    Addendum: The Range Two Fire burned in the Ruby Mountains near Elko and tore over multiple ridge lines and quickly consumed approximately 5,000 acres after starting on Sunday, September 30, 2018. The wind drove flames into Lamoille Canyon, scorching the popular recreation area from "bottom to top," according to Erica Hupp, public information officer for the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. This is indeed a sad event that will not be restored for well over 100 years.
    Lamoille Autumn
  • A rancher heads home at the end of the day in Lamoille, (Elko County) Nevada. The road runs exactly east-west; this perfectly backlit shot is best done on only two days of the year; vernal and autumnal equinox.

  • While exploring a rural byway along the Sandy River in Maine, I came upon this combination of fall color and classical composition - I couldn't resist.  Light rain had been falling much of the day and luckily, it had abated when I climbed through a screen of trees and down the bank on the other side. By the time I spent nearly half an hour trying different views, this one, my second image of about a dozen, turned out to be the most successful. It's a place I had never been before, and I may never visit again. Still, the time and effort was worth it.
