#SundayStills – Signs of Autumn

Published on September 27, 2021 by Yinglan5 Comments

How can one tell when autumn is in the air?

When the leaves turn a beautiful deep shade of red

When the trees in the mountains are layered in different shades of green and yellow

A Photo a Week Challenge: Reflection

Published on July 27, 2021 by Yinglan3 Comments

I love water reflections, especially on a sunny day. This was taken at Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone when I went there last week. I saw this tree and thought it was in the wrong place but at the same time, it does look pretty cool.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #155: On the Water

Published on July 4, 2021July 4, 2021 by Yinglan9 Comments

This week, on Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #155, John from Journeys with Johnbo challenged us to share some photos for the topic of On the Water.

I agree with John, people, including me, tend to gravitate toward water. For me, the reason is when there is water, the temperature tends to be a little cooler especially on the a hot day.

This photo was taken when I went hiking at an elevation of 10,000 feet. It was so hot that day, I remember, but at 10,000 feet, it was about 15 degrees cooler.
