Magnificent Earth. Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. The view from Rainbow Point shows the beautiful red-rock cliffs, sculpted over millennia by wind and water. Bryce Canyon, from Rainbow Point https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/earth/ I've been getting such nice comments, here's a fellow who greeted us at another of the overlooks at Bryce.

Weekly Photo Challenge…Abstract
If you're not careful, your eyes will cross and your brain will tie itself in knots, wondering what it's looking at. From far away, just a riverbank. Up close? Just don't walk down by the Columbia River in bare feet. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/abstract/
Weekly Photo Challenge…Landscape
My first thought was...this is way too easy! Landscapes are a large proportion of the photos I take. So, it was difficult to pick one that's my favorite. I figured I'd stay close to home. I have always been very fond of the "shrub-steppe" terrain found in Central Washington State. The road that goes south …
Celebrate our Beautiful Country
Every day, I give thanks to have been born in the Greatest Country on God's Green Earth. Our country is one of the most beautiful on Earth, with terrain ranging from blazing hot deserts, to grassy prairies, to high snow-capped mountains, to chains of beautiful blue lakes. The American people are the most generous in …

Weekly Photo Challenge: States of Mind: in Awe of Nature
I love going to the mountains, God's Big Construction Project (and also destruction project). These mountains, in Zion National Park in Utah, used to be at the bottom of a big shallow sea. Notice the many layers of rock, first deposited over millions of years, then thrust into the sky. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/state-of-mind/
Weekly Photo Challenge: Seasons
I've got this one covered. My favorite season of the year is Autumn. I got married in October of 2003, and I'm in that period of my life, and loving it. My husband and I went to Victoria, British Columbia for our honeymoon, since he had never been there before. We took the Victoria Clipper …
Weekly Photo Challenge: Vibrant
How's this for a vibrant splash of color? Azalea bush at the Seattle Japanese Garden in the U of Washington Arboretum. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/vibrant/
Weekly Photo Challenge: Weight(less)-Gravity
At Devil's Tower National Monument in Wyoming, the broken rocks at the very bottom started out at the top. Gravity (with the help of water) does that. Mighty mountains are turned to sand, with gravity and time. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/weightless/
My Best Photos of 2015
