There's no shortage of iconic photo opportunities in Alaska, but I felt fortunate to click this pic for two reasons. First, climate change may do away with these massive Alaskan glaciers someday soon, and second, getting a shot like this with a long telephoto lens can be exceedingly difficult. I was about 200 yards away when I heard the eerie groan from deep within the glacier and was lucky enough to guess correctly as to where the ice would be falling. I can't wait until we can return to the "Last Frontier."

It's unusual to witness a moon rising from a mountain gap. It happens less often during winter and snow is covering the mountains, and it's even more uncommon to see it in the daytime without the usual winter cloud cover. I was remarkably fortunate to capture a shot of the moon rising between Mosquito Peak and Mt. Arkansas in the Arapaho National Forest in Colorado's Rocky Mountains. This photo was taken just north of Leadville, the highest (in elevation) incorporated city in the country (10,152 feet) from SR 91.

On our way north in Florida we camped in Brooksville and decided to take a drive to Cedar Key, a quaint little town on the Gulf coast about 90-minutes northwest. I have seen many pelicans on the coastline around the country, but this was the first time I had seen the brown pelican, easily identified by its bright yellow coiffure. In this pic, the sun was an hour from setting, backlighting the yellow feathers to a shine.
​My fascination with birds led me to look them up and I found that the oldest known living brown pelican is 43 years old, their wingspan can exceed six feet and that their yellow heads meant that they are breeding adults. Now you can watch for them, too!

On the highest paved road in the United States, on the way to the peak of "fourteener" Mount Evans in Central Colorado, winter tends to be long. This photo was taken in June a few years ago, right after the road was opened for the summer season. I didn't have skates along, so I was content to take in the unusual "summer" views. I don't ice skate anyway...

Ever taken a photo that makes you stop and stare at it every time you see it? This is such a photo for me. There's something about the combination of hues, the flowers and the sharpness of the plants against the blurry beach in the background that always drags me in.
This shot was taken during our journey up the Pacific coast. One resort we stayed in was near Crescent City, California, and this pic is from a sandy rise above the beach and ocean. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do.
