This is an image from our trip this past summer to Rocky Mountain National Park.  I saw these flowers at a stop along Trail Ridge Road which is at a very high altitude.  These were lovely little flowers called Alpine Forget-Me-Nots.

Ack, I was doing so well and then missed a day again.  Sorry.  This is a lovely Buckeye butterfly that was on the Sedum this summer.  Looking forward to sights like this again this year.

This was an experiment in light and mood.  I liked the results so decided to share.  This is a photo of Dunloup Falls in West Virginia that was taken during the day but started out a bit dark so I played with it to make it more moody.

This is an older shot but one I quite like so am going to share.  I took this back when we went out to the Grand Canyon in New Mexico I believe.  It was along the infamous Route 66 and I believe that this was a museum commemorating the Route.  It was closed at the time.  I liked all the old style elements in it especially those gas pumps.  I put a bit of an HDR effect on it and quite liked the result.

Quite cold out today.  Feels like January and not March.  This is a shot from a few weeks ago of a male Cardinal feeding on a Trumpet Vine seed pod.  Had no idea they would eat those.

Well, the snow storm predicted was a bust which is just fine with me.  Mainly got some sleet out of it.  It's horribly cold though so they were right about that unfortunately.  Here's an image of a nice warm steam train that I gave an antique look to.  It's the restored locomotive of Abilene, KS Smokey Valley Railway, ATSF 3415.

Waiting for the winter storm to start, yuck.  What good is it on a weekend too.  :-)  Thinking of summer with a shot from Yellowstone National Park of a little Chipmunk I saw feeding in the brush on the way to view some mud pots.
