If you guessed that most of my severe weather photos are from my time in Kansas, you would be correct. However, if you ever followed the TV series, The Prospectors, you would know that the Colorado Rockies have their fair share of quickly moving storms. This was one such storm, taken on the road to Mount Evans, a fourteener -- this shot was snapped somewhere between 12,000 and 13,000 feet. Not too long after I took it, I had to rush to the truck before hail and lightning arrived. The scenic road to the summit of Mount Evans happens to be the highest paved road in North America.

Southern California encompasses a variety of geographical zones, such as beaches, mountains, canyons, valleys, lakes, farmlands, high and low deserts, and snow. That makes bird watching there a bit of a paradise. I was fortunate recently to be at the top of a steep valley hillside, looking down on any soaring birds in the area. Eventually I was able to snap a few photos of a pair of red-tailed hawks, including this bad boy, just before joining his mate in a pine treetop.
The red-tail is the most common species of hawk in North America and is also known as a "chickenhawk," though it rarely feeds on chickens. Its extremely varied diet and comfort zones have allowed this bird of prey to succeed better than any other, to our viewing benefit.

Very few canyons in the world are unique. One of my favorite national parks contains such a landmark, Bryce Canyon. Tucked away in Southern Utah, about an hour east of another fabulous location, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon is a sight to behold. Much like the Grand Canyon, you can't help but stare when you first see the vast amphitheater, and you may wonder if what you are experiencing is real. Yes, it's real.
Interestingly, however, it is not a true canyon. It is a collection of distinctive red and orange geological structures called hoodoos, which were formed by frost, weathering and erosion by the river into an ancient lake bed of sedimentary rocks -- all of that, created over millions of years, just to fascinate visitors and end up as an amazing selection in my Photos of the Week...

Sometimes nature is whimsical. It certainly was in this mountain lake in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Mallard ducks visiting Sprague Lake often dip their heads in the water to feed from the shallow bed. However, it's a rare sight to see three of them synchronizing their feeding, without any modesty regarding displaying their bottoms to onlookers. I love this picture!
