This week on the Lens-Artist Challenge, we were challenged to “find something red”, which reminded me that it was Chinese New Year this past Saturday and just about everyone I know knows the color red is seen just about everywhere during Chinese New Year – red lantern, lights, red envelopes… Therefore, I think it’s fitting…

The search for autumn colors continues...
I'm always looking for #inspirations to make my photos or to take a second glance at photos taken a while back. This is the latest. I took this when I #hikes the Three Lakes Divide Loop in August 2020.
Of all the pictures I took on the hike, these have to be my favorite.
So many layers of beautiful autumn colors in Ogden, Utah!
Got this on my hike today, so pretty, just a lone tree against a cliff.
Some photos from my hike on the Three Divide Lakes Loop last week. It was a long hike but it was well worth it.
