Superstition Mountain

What I call "rock star" parking at the campground next to Superstition Mountain, AZ. I was parked within walking distance to get this photo at sunset. Also loved the old gold town near by.

Lion in a fence

I like this photo of the lion even with the branch interfering with the image. This was taken at Out of Africa in AZ.  This was taken on their feeding day and the lion was waiting his big piece of meat to be tossed over the fence.

Beautiful granddaughters for annual photo event

Through the years my challenge is to coordinate and outing to photograph my granddaughters out for  a photo event which started as "instead of" school pictures. Day was overcast and surprise to find autumn leaves still usable. They are so photogenic but can soon start clowning around. Baily is in the maron shirt and Brooke the green.

Of course we always have to do something with the bridge and they came up with this pose.

Joyfully tossing leaves. 

Lone Rock Beach

This is one of those fun places I have camped with the WINs and the Kayaks belong to the group. This is Lake Powell and we were a few miles from Page, AZ. This photo does not show the one large rock rising up in the middle of the lake which the beach is named for.

Highest mountain in Colorado

Can't see it? It is between the clouds and the trees. Okay Mount Elbert may be 14,429 feet high, but this was taken at the fish hatchery outside of Leadville at just over 10 thousand feet. So not a lot of elevation difference. Saw a lot of mountains in Colorado that wowed me more than this one.

A forest of aspens

Again lots of apens which is one of my favorite trees. Love the black on the white trunks.

Aspen Alley

This is the aspen lined road that is over by Encampment, and lot of photographers put this location on their bucket list to photograph. I have heard that the trees are dying out and the leaves do not seem as full as they used to. This was taken a couple of years ago.
