Vedauwoo Wyoming – June 2009

We recently returned to an old favorite from the time we lived in Wyoming called Vedauwoo. In spite of their weathered sandstone appearance, these rocks are much harder—granite I think. The snow had only recently receded and the wildflowers were out in full force! I’ve posted a gallery of macro and HDR photos for all to enjoy. The last few images are from Northern Colorado where we saw fields of wild iris in all the wet places.

Florida Panhandle Sojourn

Just back from New Orleans via the Florida Panhandle. I drove over in a huge storm, and took this photo at the rest area in Pensacola. The jet is really there, this is not a double exposure! Hint: I did some minor retouching with Photoshop.

On the way back I left I-10 and drove east on State Road 20, and ultimately Torreya State Park. There were ample opportunities to take wildflower and HDR photos (gallery). I’m particularly happy with the photo below.

Along the way I crossed the Econfina River and stopped at Pitts Spring (not on the map). The river was high and backed up into the spring.
