Merry Christmas!

Burned Joshua tree at Red Rock.

A dead tree along the rim of Bryce Canyon.

Sadly, this is about the extent of the fall colors I got to see this year.

A rainy day at Brian Head. I couldn't ride my new bike, but I could take a picture of the cabin's deck.

Would you like some juniper berries with your sunset? Good, I thought you might, so I took this picture while I was in Sedona. I hope you like it.

Sunken boat in Gold Beach, Oregon.

Sunset at Doris Lake, British Columbia.

There's too much glare, and some reflections that shouldn't be in here, but all in all, I don't think it was too bad for my first attempt at photographing fish.

Bellagio fountains: Enough said!

I can never get enough of seeing the rock formations of Utah. This was taken in Goblin Valley, just outside the main valley with all the hoodoos.

Oh the things you see on a casino's front lawn. This was taken somewhere on the south end of the Las Vegas strip.

A Joshua Tree. Who says the Mojave's a desolate place?

This was also taken at the Red Canyon overlook. I think it might look better if I cropped it, but I really liked how clear the reflections were.

This is a tree growing at the Red Canyon overlook in the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area. Silouettes against a bright background almost always look cool.

A slow day of fishing on the Green River. You can clearly see how it gets its name. If anyone wants to purchase a boat like this for me feel free to do so. I would love you forever.

Here's the late afternoon sun on a rare cloudy day in Las Vegas. I'm pleased with the way I kept the power lines and sound wall along the freeway out of this shot (almost).

Alright, so I'm double dipping with this one, but I don't care. It's the only half decent picture I've taken in a while so it's going up. It's the Colorado River a few miles below Hoover Dam.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I must have taken about 15 shots of this tree and fireplace, using all the different settings on my camera, but the one that came out best was the one I took simply using the automatic focus and the flash. Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season.

This would probably look better if I just cropped it down to include only the clouds. I took this on the flight back to Vegas from Massachussetts.
