North Rim, Grand Canyon National Park
 

North Rim Grand Canyon
"The Road Less Traveled"

North Rim (33 photos)

The remoteness of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon makes it a special place.  Only about 10-18 miles separate the North and South Rims as the crow flies. There are two ways to get to the North Rim from the South Rim. Hike down and back out for a total of 23 miles or drive the 215 miles that separate the two rims.  Significantly fewer people visit the North Rim which is open only 6 months of the year due to snow fall at the 8500+ foot elevation.  The North Rim receives more precipitation and is cooler than the South Rim.  While on the road from Jacob Lake, we saw more than a dozen wild turkeys and numerous deer and bison.

Many of the named rock formations in the canyon are on the North side of the Colorado River, making them more prominent when seen from the North Rim.  For all these reasons, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is our preferred destination.
 

 

Monsoon Sunset
Tournament Players Club

Late-Summer fast-moving monsoon storms
result in great opportunities for beautiful sunsets.
The TPC golf course is a beautiful place and
adds to the beauty of a sunset.

Thanks to the TPC staff for allowing me access
to take these pictures.  Too bad I am not a golfer!

Chihuly: The Nature of Glass
Desert Botanical Garden, Phoenix, Arizona


The outdoor installation of glass sculptures at the Desert Botanical Garden is a must see, in person.  Photographs of the inspiring designs don't tell the entire story of Dale Chihuly's remarkable work.  Chihuly, born in 1941, is an outstanding artist and probably the most influential artist in the area of blown glass.

Calving of Margerie Glacier in Alaska
Glacier Bay National Park
Margerie Glacier is one of the most beautiful glaciers in the park.  It is about one mile wide, with an ice face 250 feet above the water and 100 feet below the water surface.  The glacier is over 20 miles long and moves down hill about 2000 feet per year or about 6 feet per day.  As it nears the salt water of the ocean, it breaks off which is called calving.  We were very lucky to see several calvings during our visit which usually start with a big crack or bang.

Monarch Butterfly Collection
 
Monarch Butterflies-Winged Beauty

This is a series of 32 photos of Monarch butterflies showing the first morning light as the Monarch's awake to their graceful flight and survival.  Butterflies have a relatively short life span. Some species take several generations to complete a migration. The photos in this series were taken over a six week period and required more than 30 hours of on-site photography at the butterfly pavilion.  Over 1700 photos were taken of these fast moving beauties to obtain the ones shown here.
