We have just returned from a three week - 5,800 mile journey that entailed meeting and visiting with members of our families; traveling through several national parks and viewing and photographing the continually changing face of the of the incredible landscape that is called the American West.

Most of the places we visited really called for a much longer stay to get to know the territory and take advantage of lighting conditions at specific locations… three months would probably have not been too long to do them justice.

But the most amazing part of the trip was returning home from Des Moines to Wisconsin Dells surrounded by incredible “early summer” greens in mid-August: the result of major flooding two months ago.

Some of my favorites around dA:


I'll start with my multi-talented wife with whom I share this dA adventure and my life. She continually amazes me with her ability and timing.

I've been amazed by this Canadian gentleman's water and ice photographs since I arrived at dA. These are from his Lake Superior collection.

This young German's macro photography is an absolutely fascinating eye opener to the small world that is in front of our eyes but seldom seen.
