Bell Rock, Sedona

FullSizeRender.jpg

I don’t know that the rocks (red sandstone) get more beautiful than in Sedona, AZ. They have some of the coolest shapes, and are named after some common things. For example, Coffee Pot Rock, Chimmeny Rock, and of course, Bell Rock (pictured above). For more, look here. 

There is a so much Native American history here too. I really need to go back and spend more time there. Someday!

Tranquil, and so alive

 “If you truly love Nature, you will find beauty everywhere.” ~ Vincent Van Gogh

I took this before the sunrise at Quail Creek Reservoir in southern Utah about 10 minutes before the sunrise. The slight red glow in the foreground was from our rental car taillights .. I sure thought I had them turn off, but I guess not.

I love the stillness of the lake. If you listened, you could hear nature. The birds, and other wildlife just starting to stir, or perhaps some retiring for the day. In a word: Tranquil. 

Photography is wonderful because the photographer can look at the photo and recall memories of a time past. The image brings back the experiences,  feelings and emotions. I can close my eyes after looking at this photo, and go back there. Video can be even more powerful.

I hope I can take you there too, even if its limited, by sharing these scenes with you. The earth is so beautiful. Enjoy it. Photograph it. Share it! Take it in, and absorb the beauty and majesty of nature. If you honor nature, she will give you beauty many times over.

A rocky coast, but warm ...

I took this while we were on a tour of Oahu. This rock formation caught my eye. It is very unique. It was windy the day we did this tour, but warm! 

Speaking of warm, it’s getting cold again in Ohio and I could not help myself .. I needed a photo from Hawaii to remind me that we don’t have much cold weather left before spring. It will get warm again, soon.

Fort Zion

Teresa took this photo not to long after we left Zion National Park. I loved the colors they used, and found the ‘undertaker’ builiding to be a bit odd. Clearly, they didn’t want anyone walking around.

Let’s make some noise

I took this photo of this Red-Winged Black Bird in May of 2015. I was taking photos of a friend at Charleston Falls Preserve. The colors are great, especially the greens. That makes me anxious for spring. That is right around the corner, right? 

The bird .. well, just making some noise!
