 |
| Yosemite Valley, in my favorite mountain range, the Sierra Nevada... |
 |
| The Burgess Shale in the Canadian Rockies, resting place of some of the most primitive, yet advanced lifeforms ever discovered. |
 |
| Cedar Mesa and Muley Point, one of my spiritual centers |
 |
| The La Sal Mountains, viewed through an arch in Arches National Park |
 |
| Antelope Canyon near Page Arizona. An unreal place... |
 |
| It has not always been about rocks. Sometimes animals block the view...a bighorn sheep at Capitol Reef National Park |
 |
| And there are the iconic views...Delicate Arch at Arches National Park |
 |
| More distractions from the rocks...poppies blooming in Merced River Canyon downstream from Yosemite Valley. |
 |
| Only a moron would stand next to a lava flow...or me. The Big Island of Hawaii |
 |
| Or go wandering a lava flow at midnight...yeah I got in trouble with the family that night |
 |
| Grand Canyon, one of the nation's jewels... |
 |
| So many bizarre landscapes in the world...the hoodoos at Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument in New Mexico |
 |
| On the High Peaks Trail at Pinnacles National Monument, one of the great hikes I've discovered in the American West. |
 |
| I love the seasons at Yosemite National Park |
 | |
| The native birds of Hawai'i have a fascinating story. An 'Elepaio stayed still long enough to photograph on Kauai |
 |
| Joshua Tree National Park is one of the lesser known landscapes in California, unless you happen to be one of the 20 million people that live within a 90 minute drive... |
 |
| Sometimes there are just magical moments: A rainbow at Glacier National Park |
 |
| The many moods of lighting at Grand Tetons National Park...a gray morning... |
 |
| And a crystalline sky at sunset... |
 |
| Vagabonding our way to Rocky Mountain National Park |
 |
| Closer to home, we explore California Caverns |
 |
| And say goodbye to Yosemite Valley during an extraordinary sunset |
