~ Around the Banff National Park, there are enormous craggy peaks everywhere you look. This is one viewed while exploring Johnston Canyon one early morning as the sun rose. Although I didn't get any pics of them, on this drive I saw a mother wolf and her two pups--very exciting.
Pastel Morning in the Dunes ~ A soft look at White Sands National Monument, with dune after dune extending into the distance.
~ Wonderful textures in the sand dunes, frozen in place on an early morning shoot at White Sands, New Mexico. I liked the contrast of the white dunes and the mountains beyond. It was so cold that morning that the sand was frozen, making it easy walking (for sand), but very chilly to be out too long.
