Castle Valley Cosmos horns

Castle Valley Cosmos hornsCastle Valley, near Moab, Utah, glows in shades of its classic red dirt sandstone and early summer green under the June Milky Way. These pillars of rock push into the night sky, reaching for the heavens as they continue to defy erosion. I spent several hours in the middle of the night here, listening to the Colorado River moving behind me, watching a curious kangaroo rat inspect my tripod, and thinking that for thousands of years people have looked up

I loved watching the green haze pulse and stream over this gorgeous field of blue lupines

In this picture

too large a moon

vast land these animals live in

migrating out of the high country to spend the snowy months where there's better feed

but contains enough resolution to print much larger

this one spends most of its life beneath a blanket of winter

I create a photograph with wonderful depth and detail - a new and unique perspective of deep woods

I love this mountain range

I played a game of cat and mouse with heavy rain
