Sunset Over the Grand Canyon #1

Posted
Grand Canyon Sunset South Rim I really love the national parks of the Southwestern United States. I'm lucky to live in Southern California as these wonders of the natural world are just a day's drive away. I have been to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon twice in the last 2 years and can't wait to go back. Of course one of the favorite times at the Grand Canyon is sunset and crowds gather at favorite points overlooking the canyon to watch the fiery display that nature turns on each evening. This happens to be one of my favorite photos. But what do you think? Please post a comment and let me know. Canon EOS 20D Canon 70-300mm lens at 165mm 1/800 secs at f/5 ISO 100

Posted
In name, dress, and antics, the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" are the personification of theatrical camp. But it's serious business.

What started as street theater grew into an international network of largely autonomous houses — Wikipedia notes there are now houses and missions across the U.S. and chapters as far afield as Australia, Canada, and Europe, with hundreds of members worldwide.

According to the website for the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence , the Sisters' mission statement states: The Sisters devote [themselves] to community service, ministry and outreach to those on the edges, and to promoting human rights, respect for di...

Anza-Borrego Desert Pink Wildflower

Posted
Blue Dicks (Dichelostemma capitatum) California Wildflower Well, I spent a lot of time searching through the Calflora database in an effort to identify this pink flower from Anza-Borrego Desert State Park , and finally tracked it down. Blue Dicks (Dichelostemma capitatum) Dichelostemma capitatum , a monocot, is a  perennial herb  that is  native  to California and is also found outside of California, but is confined to western North America. It actually reminds me of a crocus flower. If you know what this flower is, please identify it with a comment below. Thanks!

Bird of Paradise Flower

Posted
Bird of Paradise flower on black background with Orton effect. Someone told me this is "very 1980s - very colorful". I guess that means I need to do a contemporary version that isn't so colorful...? By the way, just in case you thought I took this photo with the flower on a black background with fancy lighting, that was not the case.  It took me about 90 minutes to isolate the flower from its background. Yes, I'm nuts, obsessive, whatever you want to label me. Go ahead!
