Austin, Texas This was a pretty fun photo to get. I was chasing these bees around for a long time trying to find the right combination of 1) good composition and 2) a bee actually holding still long enough in said composition. Eventually this guy buzzed into an area with a lot of light reflecting off the brick wall, which made for a nice warm glow and complimented the green vegetation. And, somehow, he struck this pretty classic pose just long enough for me to catch him in the act. Thanks, bees!
Zion National Park, UT // A mystical icon in the snow. In this view, all of the phases of water- liquid, vapor, and ice- have come together to make a dynamic and mystical landscape. As a side note, "mystical" is one of my favorite words to describe Zion. It's such a wonderful thing that kept such a place protected.
Austin, Texas The frozen dew on this leaf, found on one of the few frosty mornings Austin gets, almost looks like some sort of ancient--or alien--script. I wonder if, back when non-pictographic language was just beginning, we looked to strange patterns like these in the natural world to find inspiration for our symbols?
