Fall Leaves in Utah

Zion National Park is stunning in the fall. The season approaches make your plans to visit now or you won't stop working long enough to enjoy life!

Zion National Park, Utah

Zion National Park, Utah was just about everything that you could want in an U.S. National Park. The camping facilities were well taken care of including always having toilet paper in the flush-able commmodes. The bus system that takes you through the park was the best idea that I saw in any of the U.S. parks and it was only in Zion. No yucky cars and traffic like in Yellowstone and recorded tapes took you back in time and informed you about the animal life in the park.

Roots

Our recent move got me thinking about roots and how sometimes when you replant something it dies and sometimes it flourishes. As important as your early roots are you should always reach to obtain what you need to grow, be it sunlight, fresh water or shade.

Hocking Hills, Ohio

Hocking Hills in one of the few State Parks that is just as awesome in the spring as it is in the summer as it is in the winter and so on. This image captured in the fall shows people throughly enjoying themselves in the great big expanse we call nature.

Bryce Canyon - Utah

Way high up in Utah there is a place that looks like this. It's magnificent. There are some great hikes also, just be prepared to be tired. What goes down must come up as the parking lot is at the top!

Pronghorn Fight!

Fall is the season for male pronghorn's to gather up their females and try and mate with as many as possible. The male being chased was a newcomer to the group and was trying to woo some females away from the existing harem. As you can see by the tuft of white fur on the antler of the "chaser", he wasn't having it. The fight went on for about 15 minutes and the dominant male chased the lesser male over the hill away from his females. This image was shot in Wind Cave National Park, SD.

Fall Berries

These berries were on a small, stout bush in Minnesota Lake Country. I have no idea what color they are in the summer but fall brings out the milky, white beauty.

Honey Locust

This Honey Locust tree in Vevay Indiana is set in front of a dramatic fall sky. The Honey Locust have great, big thorns. Native Americans would make a drink from the pulp. A Native American legend is that the Thunder Spirit recognized his son by his ability to sit comfortably on locust branches, despite the thorns. - Wiki

Fall in the Smokies

This overlook offers a view of high and low elevations. On this fall day, there was 32 feet of snow on top of Mt. LeConte and the season was changing the color of the leaves on the trees below. This was taken/processed in HDR.

Trees in the moonlight

Taken in Ohio these mulberry trees are backlit by the moon. Silohuettes can be dramatic and imapctful if done correctly. Your object becomes part of the picture without being the main focus.

Wine making's 1st step

Stomping the grapes is the first step in fine wine making. The grapes you see outside the barrel's were the ones lucky enough to escape the crushing weight of the humans foot.
