Coral Pink Sand Dunes in Kanab Utah

The sand dunes at sunset.  I love the soft light of the evening!

The strong winds made for interesting and beautiful clouds.  This one almost looks like an erupting volcano

Evening shadows from the ripples in the sand

The constant blowing sand had sandblasted rocks into odd and shiny smooth shapes.  I found this pretty little plant to add to a close-up of the sand and rocks.  Any one that knows me, knows how I love the little details!

The wood in these old fallen trees were polished smooth also.  It really brought out the unique colors and patterns in each one.

This photograph was taken after the sun had set.  It's funny how the color of the sand changed with the light.  They really do look pink!  Maybe that's how they got the name?

I wanted to get a close shot of the blowing sand.  What I really got, was a face full of blowing sand!  I decided to post it anyway to somehow make it all worth while.

Such beautiful smooth sand!  Not a track anywhere but the occasional lizard or bird ( and my own of course )

The last few moments of light from the setting sun.

Ripples in the sand

Dried vegetation from last season seemed to fit perfectly in the dry blowing sand of the desert

The evening light brings out the warm colors and beautiful shadows.  I think it's the most peaceful time of the day, if only it would last just a little bit longer!

Tropical Color

Loved the color of this flower in Southern Mexico!  The leaves were the same color as a lime, which really complimented the bright orange of the blossom itself.

River

            

Going through some of the photos that I took this past fall, I found a few that I hadn't worked with yet. I always love the river that time of the year.  The water is a little more gentle, and I love the colors and lighting of Autumn.

Summer Dreams

I had a few people ask me what camera I took the photos from Haiti with? I usually am never without my nikon D300, at times I think it's permanately attached! But my trip to Haiti was a service trip. Even though the photo opportunities were awesome, that wasn't my priority. Because of luggage limitations, I decided to just take a small cannon point and shoot camera with me. I have to say, for a point and shoot, I was quite impressed. It was also nice to be able to shoot some video of the trip with it also. I certainly did not need my big fancy camera to capture the smiles of the children, and the beautiful people of Haiti. And to all of you who sent donations with us, God bless you, and thankyou so much!
