Tide is coming in
Birds will lose their space to fish
Soon they must take flight

High on Color
The mile-high city of Denver has a lovely botanic garden. All the colors of the rainbow spring up among the mix of paved and non-paved paths. The bees appreciated the beauties too. They were not very keen to pose for me though, as they were too busy gathering nectar. Big bonus on the visit – the cafe uses compostable plates, cups and utensils!

Sierra de la Espuma (Superstition Mountains)
Near Apache Junction, AZ, the superstition mountains rise above the desert. Lost Dutchman state park has may trails that lead to spectacular viewpoints. The purported site of the Lost Dutchman gold mine beckons you to explore the legends and lore of the area. I enjoyed my visit, but one visit is not enough. The superstitions are calling me back.
Oh Sole Mio
Sunshine lights green hills
Clouds envelop stone faces
Dolomites beckon
“Mama Don’t Take My Kodachrome Away …”
It was easy to see how Kodak’s Kodachrome film inspired Paul Simon’s song, “Kodachrome” as well as Kodachrome Basin State Park.
The park has the most dramatic colors of anything I saw during my week in lovely, Southwest Utah. It has been inspiring photographers for decades. Kodachrome was used to describe the colors of the area by the National Geographic Society in 1948. It was officially opened to the public as a state park in 1963 – first named Chimney Rock State Park and then changed (with Kodak’s permission) to Kodachrome Basin State Park.
Here’s a few of my pictures!

Bright flowers growing from the weeps in the rock
Multi colored rocks glow in the late day sun and contrast against the bright blue sky

Folly Beach, SC
Gorgeous sunny skies
Birds watched us from their perches
Waves shimmered on the sand
A rainbow appeared even when it wasn’t raining
Bonus: Found a plane flying through a corner of my favorite rainbow pic!
