| Another nighttime shot, this was taken from the Colorado River on the border of Arches National Park. It was on the "Canyonlands by Night Sound & Light Show" boat ride. We've done that tour twice now and enjoyed it very much both times! You can see a sliver of a crescent moon in the upper left. |

| Each year there are a number of "supermoons" when the full or new moon occurs when the moon is closest to the Earth. Last August was the "largest" supermoon of 2014. I haven't taken a lot of nighttime shots---but was lucky enough to be on the Beartooth Highway during that time. Here is my shot of the August supermoon! |

| A trip to Glacier isn't complete without a trip down the east side of the Going-to-the-Sun Highway. At the bottom of the pass is St. Mary's Lake and this often photographed scenic with the tiny Wild Goose Island in the middle of the picture. |

| McDonald Creek offers a beautiful example of he characteristic turquoise blue water found in Glacier National Park. The turquoise coloring is from glacial flour, which is the fine particulates suspended in the water and is caused by the grinding of rocks when glaciers slide over them. |

| A beautiful rainbow had a moment to shine during a break in the rain as another storm rolled in. This was taken near Roosevelt Junction in Yellowstone National Park. |

| Originally built in 1875 in Bannack, Montana, as the first Beaverhead County Courthouse, it remained empty for nearly a decade after the county seat was moved to Dillon, Montana in 1881. The building was purchased and transformed in a hotel by Dr. John Christian Meade in 1890. Hotel Meade operated on and off until the 1940s. Bannack is one of the best preserved ghost towns in Montana. For more information go to: http://www.bannack.org/photo_tour3.htm |

| Like the colors on a painter's palette, Palette Springs at Mammoth Hot Springs creates a blended beauty of colors on the canvas in Yellowstone National Park. |

| People ask me what my biggest tip for photography is and I have to say one of my favorites is to look behind you. Some of the best photographs I have ever gotten have been when there is an amazing scene in front of me and then I turn around and find something even more incredible behind me. This was one of those shots. |

| The other night I saw my daughter grab her iPod and run outside---this is what she was running to take a picture of. I couldn't agree with her more that it was a picture worthy sunset. |
