We don’t get much snow in my home state of Arkansas. If we do it’s usually only an inch or two and melts off very quickly. So I was very pleased to wake up one morning to this beautiful snow fall in Yellowstone National Park. There was about 6 inches in he higher elevations. I made the trip to Grand Teton National Park to photograph fall color and when I got there this front moved in and covered the teton mountain range for about four days. I traveled north into Yellowstone for the snow it was around Oct 1st, 2007, so not winter time at all. By the way this is not a black and white photograph this is color, just the colors of a cold snowy day. Someday I hope to go to Yellowstone in the actual winter time to photograph the landscpape and wildlife. If you enjoy my photography please let me know by commenting or voting on my blog. I would greatly appreciate it.

I was out one misty morning doing some macro photography and found these oak leaves on the ground. I haven’t converted many of my images into black and white but I kind of liked the way this one looked. Any comments or critique is appreciated.

We got a good frost the other morning here in Arkansas and I found these leaves in one of our city parks for a macro photography close up of some frost on leaves.. The leaves have been on the ground quite a while so there isn’t alot of color in them. Any comments or critique appreciated and thanks for looking.

Antelope Canyon is a beautiful slot canyon located on Navajo land near the nice town of Page, Arizona. The slot canyon is formed by flash flooding. The rainwater runs into the basin area above the canyon picks up sand and rushes into the canyon. This erodes the sandstone away and forms the beautiful swirls and formations in the canyon. Antelope Canyon is the most visited and photographed slot canyons in the american southwest. I would appreciate any comments or critique and thanks for looking,

Richland Creek Wilderness area in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas has over 11,000 acres of our states most beauitful wilderness. Richland Creek has some beautiful house size boulders covered in lichen that gives the boulders more texture and color. These large boulders ctreate an excellent whitewater stream of a class III with a few class IV rapids. The creek has several waterfalls including Richland falls and many creeks feeding Richland Creek that have some beautiful waterfalls. I have been kayaking on Richland Creek for years and this is definitely my favorite run in the state of Arkansas. The USGS keeps water leves of Richland Creek at this link.This image was daken right at dusk, the creamy look of the water in this image is decieving. This is actually quite a difficult whitewater rapid and the boulders are much bigger than they appear. Comments or critique is always appreciated and thanks for looking.

Mount Moran is a beautiful mountain in Grand Teton National Park of western Wyoming. Mount Moran has many glaciers one of them being skillet glacier, visible on the east face. It has beautiful Leigh Lake at it’s base and was named after a western frontier landscape artist named Thomas Moran. This is a crop from one of my panoramic landscape images from this fall. I love the fall color of the aspens with Mount Moran peaking through the fog and clouds. Any comments or critique is appreciated.

Hello I wanted to show the image I use as my avatar on most forums etc. I post on. Avatars are often so small you can’t make out what it is sometimes so I wanted to show a slightly larger view to show a little more detail. Hawksbill Crag also known as Whitaker Point in the Upper Buffalo Wilderness Area in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, My home state. This is an image I took so this is not me on Hawksbill Crag just a hiker enjoying the beautiful fall color of the Ozark Mountains. This is another one of my favorite places and many others in Arkansas. The trail is a great hike for everyone. The hike is around three miles round trip and the entire trail is very scenic especially in the Autumn when the trees are in full bloom of their fall color.
