That's the biggest Maple leaf I've ever seen!!! Beautiful shot Herb. Fall has finally arrived here in Southern Utah too. The monsoons lasted until a few weeks ago so the colors are expecially vibrant this year. Since my husband's truck matches the fall colors, we just had to take it up on the mountain for a photo shoot :-)

Beautiful shots!

Since moving to Utah a few years ago we've been trying to camp at all the state parks. Last week was Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake. Beautiful area even though the lake is super low. Hundreds of bison roaming around and we had a bachelor herd of seven come visit us at our campsite every afternoon.

Wow!!! Gorgeous!

I've been wanting to see a moose in the wild for my entire life. Finally saw one across the estuary at Henry's Lake, Idaho! This young bull moose was shot on a film camera with a 200x zoom lens.

A pretty little slot with a creek running through in Southern Utah.

Beautiful shot Herb!

Looks like a great place to hang your hat. Happy Canada Day!

Wow! That is a great shot!

We were lucky to visit Yellowstone a few weeks ago before the floods. Such a beautifully bizarre
place even though it was very crowded and overrun. The geyser basins were very interesting and the wildlife is abundant.

For you photographers out there, my son (a professional photographer who loves to shoot with film, especially large format) gifted me a 1964 Pentax Spotmatic camera for Mother's Day and that's what I took these photos with. It was fun to shoot with a film camera again and try to remember how to use a fully manual camera LOL! The film was Fuji color negative ISO 400 and the lens was a Sears/Roebuck 28mm.

And nothing smells better than the desert after a rainstorm :-)

Wow! Beautiful!

Yes, they have it the 3rd week of February every year. Kanab Balloons and Tunes Festival.

Buckskin Gulch, a 20 mile long slot canyon in Southern Utah near the border of Arizona. We also found a nice place to have lunch.

We got up really early this morning to drive to Kanab, Utah, for the balloon launch. First time I've ever been and it was beautiful!

I am getting so inspired by all the astrophotography! We leave next week for a long camping trip in Grand Staircase Escalante in Southern Utah. The skies there will be amazing and I can't wait to try out all the tips you've given me! :-)

Beautiful!

"Alien Starship" LOL! Here's one of my pics of The Watchman in Zion that is being targeted by one of those alien starships :-)

Thank you!

Thank you for the tip! I get the star trails a lot, so too long of an exposure. I was at Zion NP a few months ago on a moonless night trying to get a good shot of The Watchman and planes kept going by! So I have all these pretty nice shots except for the dashed line of a airplane LOL! That area must be under the flight path for SLC or Vegas because they were coming over every minute or so. I'm still trying to get the hang of a digital camera. I think I did much better back in the day with my Nikon K1000 film camera :-)
