#SundayStills: Autumn in my Meadow


I think I’ve had enough with posting photos of autumn colors this year, so, if you don’t mind, I’ll make this post about autumn in my meadow. The weather may feel like autumn but the meadow does not look autumn.

My Wish Came True – A drive into the Mountain


I mentioned in a couple of posts since the beginning of the month that I want to do a day trip into the mountain. There’s a road I want to drive again since I never made it to the destination last time when I drove it 4 years ago in April 2021.

#SundayStills: Monthly Color Challenge – #Brown Trees


A photo of a fallen tree trunk covered in snow taken at Bryce Canyon National Park in December 2023

Like it or not, I will always look back on that trip because so far, that trip is ranked at the top of my best trip list. This picture is a picture of a fallen tree trunk at Bryce Canyon. In the snow, it looked like something else, like a sleeping beast in the snow. Nature has its weird ways of creating art, doesn’t it?

Another one from the trip.

There seem to be quite a bit of brown landscapes. I’m pretty sure it’s just the time of year for that color to surface as the days are at its shortest and the nights are at its longest.

Surprisingly, by the time I made it to northern Arizona, I found out I get 30 minutes of daylight than I do at home. Funny how much of a difference 6 degrees of latitude can make.

Anyway, this is just a tree, somewhere along highway 95 in southeastern Utah, surviving, I guess, beside a nearly dried up river. I feel like many of us are in similar situations – just surviving, trying to get by day to day.

#SundayStills: Monthly Color Challenge – #Black and Black and White


I saw this view from my backyard and just knew I must grab the camera for a quick picture. This was taken exactly a week ago on the night before a cold front would arrive and the make the temperature dip 20 degrees Fahrenheit – from 80 degrees to 60.
