The fleet has completed its work for the day, and everyone seems ready to once again carry park visitors to new adventures on Lake McDonald in the morning – Glacier National Park. Many times, I find the images I take when the sky is gray, and the sun is hidden, can bring an alternative mood…
A steady flow of water over the rocky ledges of Gulpha Creek – Hot Springs National Park. I was drawn to this picture as there seemed to be a pause between ledges, where the water could take a little break, before taking another step down. I need those little breaks. It makes the trip down…
The last glimpse of the setting sun is reflected in this canyon view from Bright Angle Point – Grand Canyon National Park. At night it can be quite cool in the canyon, even in the summer. In fact, the north rim area can experience frost 12 months of the year. We like to camp at…
A little different take on the typical National Park hiking trail… to enjoy the Everglades, you often use elevated walkways to access the beauty, which also protects the important flow of fresh water and all the life it supports. Anhinga Trail – Everglades National Park. I was hoping to capture a little bit of mystery…

A frozen Lake Louise with the Fairmont Chateau in the foreground. The glaciers have receded significantly over the past 50 years, yet the surrounding snowy Canadian Rockies towering over the scene make this truly a winter wonderland within Banff National Park.
