Photo of the Month : To keep the artistic juices flowing, I have created this gallery of my "best of the best" photographs. Each month I have taken the challenge to keep shooting, getting out to a new location or visiting a familiar one another time. This allows me to shoot year round. I shoot only with the best equipment and am always trying to display how beautiful this world is. These are the photos that I hang on my wall at home or work. These show mother nature at her best.

Josh and McKensi Engagement Photos : Shooting some friends' engagement photos was a great, fun adventure. Josh and McKensi are fun loving and McKensi found an excellent location to shoot. It was very rustic and provided a nice setting for their portraits. All things considered, it was a great way to spend a couple of hours!

Golden Fields & Blue Mountains
July 9, 2009. Taken in Montana, Madison River Valley, just after a storm.

Day 28: Lonely Traveler: This is perhaps my favorite shot from this magical location. This rock has a long and lonely trail and the textures of the Playa are on full display here.

Fire in the Sky
October 2009
Another day in southwest Montana and another gorgeous sunrise to share. This little cabin is a favorite of mine and I photograph it whenever I visit Big Sky Country. That is an outhouse on the left. This is about as rustic as it gets in the 21st century.

Day 10: Zabriski Point and Manly Beacon in Soft Light
This panorama is from 2 shots stitched together. Altogether, it's a mile from Manly Beacon on the left to the trailhead on the far right. The size of the badlands is really hard to comprehend without walking the trails.

You really need to see this in ORIGINAL SIZE to appreciate it fully.

Day 12: Head in the Clouds

Day 30: Dawn in Montana. This rustic cabin caught my attention.

Day 16: Desert flowers in bloom, from Zion National Park.

Day 42: Horseshoe Bend, Montana Style. This curve in the stream reminded me of the more-famous Horseshoe Bend in Arizona. This is another shot of my favorite cabin, a familiar friend in the summer.

Day 20: Green River Reflections of Gold. This was taken from the White Rim Trail in Canyonlands National Park at sunrise.

Day 26: Aspens dancing.

Day 6: Brown Pool in the Subway Canyon of Zion National Park.

Day 37: Red Barn

Mother Nature's Grafitti
August 2008
My favorite shot from Yellow Rock.

Day 44: Yellow-bellied Marmots from Yellowstone National Park. These 2 were part of a larger family of at least 5 marmots that we saw here. I was hiking with only my wide-angle lens, but I ran back to the car to get my 300 mm after we found this cute bunch!

Day 19: The Next to Fall. This is another shot from my recent and highly memorable trip to the Grand Canyon's North Rim. This rock looked poised to tumble any moment.

Day 11: Near Miss in Death Valley. These two rocks appear to have been headed for a collision, but have managed to just miss one another in their random movements along "la playa" in northern Death Valley.

The Wave

July 8, 2009. This picture is from the Subway in Zion NP and was taken during an unexpected snow storm.

Day 36: Big Clouds can fit in Big Sky country. This enormous cloud just hung right over this small lonely tree. The rest of the sky was clear.

Day 34: Flyfishing on the Madison River. I shot this fisherman from a distance with my 300mm lens. It really compressed the landscape well and brought the river, hill and distant mountains all into a close relationship.

Day 33: Another shot of this beloved rustic cabin. This was a few minutes after the previous shot and the direct sunlight his the cabin. It was a great sight to behold.

Another shot from our engagement session. I liked the yellow shoes.

The Wave

Grand Prismatic Steamer (Spring). I tried to include some foreground elements here to give this a sense of location.

Beautiful landscape photography!
