Happy Halloween Reflections

This photo is of our 2006 Halloween pumpkins sitting on a glass table.

Alaskan Glacier

Today's photo is of an Alaskan Glacier taken during a cruise along the Inside Passage last summer (thanks P&Z). At the moment, I can't recall which glacier this is but believe it was in College Fjord.

It is hard to capture the immensity of a glacier in a photo, but to give it some perspective, the wall of ice you see is 200 to 300 feet high and is the face of the same glacier that is in the background flowing between the mountainsides. We are so grateful to have been able to go on this trip...the opportunities to take photos were limitless. Expect more "Inside Passage" photos in the future.

Anza Borrego Desert State Park Mountain Range

Today's photos is of a mountain range from Anza Borrego Desert State Park outside of San Diego, CA. It was taken last spring at the tail end of the cactus bloom.

To get to this location, I drove a rented Taurus great distances along Jeep trails and then walked a bit. (Don't tell Hertz!)

Everglades City Brown Pelican

Today's photo is of a Brown Pelican. I captured this image just before sunset in Everglades City, Florida on a day trip early this year.

Only one week till election day...get out and vote!

Alaskan Brown Bear

I wish I could say I captured this image out in the wild, but that's not the case. However, the bear is NOT of the circus variety either. He/she is a wild bear in "rehab" at a wildlife center in Whittier Alaska. I don't think he had any substance abuse issues...most likely he was injured in some way. Maybe by a hunter with a substance abuse issue.
Anyway, he seemed to be happy in his surroundings.

Torre State Park Beach

Today's photo was taken earlier this year from a bluff overlooking the beach at Torre State Park near San Diego in California. I've been out to San Diego three times this year on business. Each trip, I try to find some time to explore the area.

Jupiter Island Sunrise

This photo of a sunrise was taken in the spring of 2008 on Jupiter Island, Florida. I allowed for a long exposure which resulted in the "soft" appearance of the waves and sky.
