A portrait of a red horse with blonde mane standing in the sun, looking straight at me. His mane is slightly off to one side in the wind. There is some frosty water droplets in his beard hairs.

Of course there were horses :)

Amazing, horses are without a doubt one of the most beautiful animals in the animal kingdom.

Sunrise yesterday morning. Finally got the kind of snow that Colorado desperately needed. Been a very dry and snowless winter.

The Adirondacks, never been, but would love to see that area (especially in the fall).

The 3 rock towers are not the only scenery along the loop #trail at Tre Cime di Lavaredo in the #Dolomites of #Italy. Hat tip to the Olympics that just finished there & here's a Summer view of a #Rifugio on the route, for #MountainMonday & #BlueSkyMonday.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Which to me (as a bona fide bachelor) represents more than just a love of a partner, but love for friendship, family and my love for nature’s beauty.

The towering mountains of the Canadian Rockies emerge and, briefly, nature manifests as art. Nature's endless artistic potential is all around us. It's not always easy to see, but when you do, it brings great joy.

Waves receding after crashing over obsidian (smooth glassy volcanic) rocky cliffs. The water at the bottom is partially in shadow from a stack, but where the water has hit the cliffs it's in the sun. The exposure is slowed down the water is smooth, and there's a fair amount of spray.

Last Feb I went back to Hellnar on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in #Iceland, where I'd been stuck in snow the previous Jan, hoping for something similar. Didn't get a flake of snow! I was able to explore more, including these amazing obsidian cliffs with waves constantly crashing over them though :)

True Colours
The true colours of the Mackenzie are golden tussocks, blue lakes, and gorgeous deep red skies.

Do you guys ever dig through old image files and find some that speak to you more in the present than they did at the time you captured them? The Utah desert is a fascinating landscape as seen from the air, revealing intricate desert folds highlighted by subtle golden hour light.

Floating on the clouds sure would be a nice ride (baggage fee included).

The full Snow Moon rising over the Adirondack landscape yesterday at 5:13 PM. After considering lots of locations to 'shoot the moon' last evening, I decided Cascade Mt would work best for my visions of a photo of a 'snow' moon.

The 27 million-year-old volcanic neck known as Shiprock is a sacred monadnock in northwest New Mexico which rises over 1500 feet above the surrounding high desert floor.
