Burrowing owl at the National Aviary in Pittsburgh. Tiny bird, full-sized attitude.
Encounters like this never get old.

East Mitten Butte at Monument Valley, early morning. From the classic View Hotel viewpoint, I zoomed in to lift one butte out of the lineup and set it alone against a moody, cloud-streaked sky. At dawn it goes to near-silhouette.

Milky Way over Valley of the Gods, Utah. Camped out here with Beth — no light pollution, just the galactic core opening up above the mesa.
There’s always another view waiting somewhere.
Shafer Trail near Moab. Layer after layer of red sandstone stretching to the La Sal Mountains. Your eyes just keep finding another ridgeline.

Winter light and fresh snow turned The Bean playful. Sun flare at the top, snow clinging to the mirrored surface, and the skyline wrapped across it.
There’s always another story waiting to be seen.
Sunrise at Chaco Canyon. Found a gap in the ancient masonry and waited. The starburst lasted maybe a minute before the angle changed.
Thanks for taking a moment to look.
Paramotor at the Frederick balloon festival with the Front Range behind it. A machine this simple against something that massive — the scale just works.
Precision and motion always make a compelling scene.
Milky Way between the pines at Bandelier National Monument. Skies dark enough to see it with your eyes — the camera just pulls out more.
There’s always another view waiting somewhere.
On the Navajo Loop at Bryce, the trail threads a gap barely wide enough to look up through. Partway up sits one of the Two Bridges, its namesake. But it was the small tree on the canyon floor that caught me, green against all that stone.
