Red sandstone
I originally posted this on Flickr for people to use as a Photoshop texture, but it had a surprisingly warm reception so I thought I’d put it up here, too…
Starburst / seedheads
A shot from The Arboretum at Flagstaff, Flagstaff, Arizona…
In transition
Another shot from Roxborough State Park…
A scrub oak’s shade
A snippet of a morning hike in Roxborough State Park:
I recently bought an Olympus fisheye lens to round out my set of lenses — I can’t say you can use it all the time, but it’s turning out to be a very versatile piece of glass. Software can correct most of the distortions [...]
Henry Persse’s place
A few days back, I took a picture of an old local building (built in 1903 — it’s old by local standards, at any rate). In spite of its age, it looks relatively “fresh” — thanks in no small part to a recent bout of restoration work. Since the picture I took makes the structure [...]
Allograpta obliqua
I don’t recall what kind of flower my little subject is on, but I really like this macro shot:
It’s a handy thing, Flickr. Based on this little guy’s coloring I thought he must be some sort of wasp — but I’ve been told it’s a hover fly (a.k.a., a flower fly). I took [...]

All along the watchtower…
We recently had the good fortune to make our way back to the Grand Canyon after some years’ absence. Here’s the first in about a dozen pictures I took there that I’m happy with:
This is the Desert View watchtower at sundown.
The 70 foot tall tower was built in 1932 by the Fred Harvey [...]
Taking a break
A damselfly takes a little breather in St. Louis:
I like how the bokeh turned out in this, but obviously still have to work on my depth of field — his tail is far less sharp than I’d like it to be.
