An early snow clings to fall leaves in the Clear Creek region of Zion National Park, UT. It is cold! The water in the creek has frozen solid. The maple leaves will have to unthaw to fall.
Trees have nothing but limestone to grow on in Red River Gorge near Slade, Kentucky. This one is having its revenge by covering and choking it.
Brightly colored leaves decorate the forest floor at Lake Superior Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada, signaling the season of Fall.
Watercress grows in this swamp found in a surprising place: a desert! Sunlight plays on the flowing water in Zion National Park, UT, near the Gateway to the Narrows.
Nada Tunnel is covered in ferns and the fallen rain glistens on the leaves. In Red River Gorge near Slade, Kentucky.
Frost covers fallen Russian Thistles as well as the growing plants. Fall in Kentucky near Red River Gorge.
A paper birch tree sheds its famous bark in Lake Superior Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, south of Wawa. Ready to line your canoe?
Sometimes snow doesn't last long on warm ground. This remaining snow on sagebrush and cedar is the icing on a red landscape of rock and sand. Capitol Reef National Park.
Sunlight highlights the edge of a blooming rabbit bush, located in a circle of ghostly grey buffalo berry shrubs. Capitol Reef National Park, UT.
This volcanic ash, called Bentonite, is multicolored and eroding from the hillside further blending to new colors as if upon an artist's palette! Along the roadside in the Cockscomb Ridge, Utah.
Maple leaves fall onto a bed of reindeer moss and ferns making the Canadian shield very striking with its glorious fall colors. Lake Superior Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada.
On the lake shore, carved by glaciers and fractured by the centuries, grass grows and cedar trees reflect from the still water. In Lake Superior Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, south of Wawa.
Known as the "Subway", the inner glow accentuates the profile made by erosion through this soft layer of rock. Taken in Left Fork of North Creek in Zion National Park, UT.
The sea has sculpted these blue striped rocks. As the sun sets over the ocean, the warm glow on the rock contrasts with the dark blue stripes. Taken at Point Lobos, Monterey, CA.
Several Monterey cypress at Point Lobos are covered with rare crimson moss as compared to the rest which have green. It's Christmas (colorwise)!
Bristlecone pines are thought to reach an age far greater than that of any other single living organism known, up to nearly 5,000 years. They grow, stunted and half dead, where no other tree can grow in the White Mountains above Lone Pine, CA.
Waves crash and the tide goes out at Point Lobos Reserve near Carmel, CA. The two toned rocks have odd potholes sculpted by these processes.
Proudly sitting atop a pile of baling twine, this old shoe surveys the rest of the junkyard in the glow of the setting sun. Junkyard near Beaver, Utah.
The distant mountain is perfectly reflected in the beaver pond which is lined with cattails. Near Telluride, Colorado, on a jeep road.
The loneliest jeep road in the most desolate desert. As we made camp, the setting sun bathed this tumbleweed in golden light which went dark the moment after I took the photograph. Spencer Flat Road, Escalante, UT, near Red Breaks.
The sunrise illuminates the red cliffs and yellow tamarisk salt cedars, but the real action is the reflection on the gently flowing stream. Off Owl Draw Rd near Arches National Park, UT.
With light entering from the distant top of a slit canyon, this wall in Buckskin Gulch glows with an eerie radiance. It is the longest and deepest slot canyon in the southwest United States and may very well be the longest in the world.
A Manzanita grows on bare rock at the edge of a precipice. The rocks are wildly striped in red giving a otherworldly character. Clear Creek region of Zion National Park, Utah.
When they were discovered, the German word for graves, Graben, were used to describe the narrow walled canyons in Canyonlands National Park, UT. They are a system of linear collapsed valleys caused by the movement of underlying salt layers toward the Colorado River canyon. The grabens begin near the confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers and run roughly parallel to Cataract Canyon for 25 km. So they aren't small.

    Hello Bill,
    We spoke briefly awhile ago. I would like to talk to you about purchasing a print of the bristlecone pine photograph. It’s so special.
    Thank you,

      Hi Jane,
      Yes I recall we tried to Zoom unsuccessfully. Thank you for your interest in the Bristlecone Pine photo. One is hanging right now in public at the Redwood Cafe in Cotati that you can see! Do you want to try zoom again or email or the phone?
