Desert Bloom This is a photograph of Death Valley National Park taken during the desert wildflower bloom of 2005. |
Rippling Sand Distances are deceiving in the desert. These sand dunes were several miles from the nearest road. |
Mysterious Rocks #47 This photograph shows the mysterious moving rocks of Death Valley. These rocks, which clearly move and leave deep ruts in their wake, are located in a remote region known as the Racetrack Playa, accessible via a long drive on a 4-wheel drive road. The rocks are thought to move due to very strong winds when this ancient dried lakebed is wet from very rare periods of rain. |
Bass Harbor Lighthouse The Bass Harbor Lighthouse on Mt. Desert Island, Maine has been in operation since 1858. |
Harbor View Maine is famous for lobster and almost every coastal harbor there is filled with moorings for lobster boats. |
Cadillac Mountain #904 Cadillac Mountain on the coast of Maine and part of Acadia National Park, is often encased in clouds and fog. |
Observation Point The hike to Observation Point in Zion National Park is the most strenuous hike in the main portion of the park. But the hike is worthwhile, providing beautiful views up the canyon. |
The Narrows #8 When the water flow of the Virgin River passing through Zion National Park becomes slow enough, the park service allows people into the canyon known as The Narrows. The canyon walls rise over a thousand feet nearly straight vertically from the river, making this hike one of the most popular in the park. |
Zion in Mist #101 Zion National Park is colorful, even in the fog. The canyon walls are mostly red with occasional sections covered in desert varnish. |

Grand Canyon #7 This is a morning view from the south rim of the Grand Canyon. |
Grand Canyon #195 This is a view of the Grand Canyon's south rim in winter. Even though the South Rim is considerably lower in altitude than the North Rim, winter still routinely brings snow and ice to the South Rim. Crampons are often required for safe hiking into the canyon in winter. |
Grand Canyon #32 This is the surreal landscape of the Grand Canyon. |
Chollas At Sunset Joshua Tree National Park has an extensive "garden" of Cholla Cacti. |
Barker Dam An early morning visit to Barker Dam in Joshua Tree National Park provides a view of a calm and beautiful reflection of the surrounding boulders. |
Joshua Tree Sunset Joshua Tree National Park is famous for - of course - Joshua Trees. But there are also the interesting Cholla cacti and some of the most beautiful sunsets to be seen anywhere. |
 Pinnacles #362 Pinnacles National Mounument in California is full of unusually shaped boulders that were created by volcanic activity. |
 Pinnacles #363 Pinnacles National Monument is particularly beautiful in the spring when the sharp contrast between the green vegetation and boulders is highlighted. |
 Stones in Spring Pinnacles National Monument is sprinkled with large boulders on mountainsides. |
 Sequoia #0346 Many of the large Giant Sequoia Trees have been given names. The largest has been named the General Sherman. |
 Tunnel Log #0349 The trunk of a fallen Giant Sequoia is so large that a tunnel was cut for cars to drive through. |
 Bear Cub #0364 |
 Yosemite Climber I photographed this rock climber in Yosemite National Park. |
 Half Dome #26 Half Dome is the icon of Yosemite National Park. |
