Took a drive out to Elk Island National Park yesterday and managed to see just this one bison. The birds sitting on him was a nice touch.

One final picture from our last trip to Palm Springs. A star trail composite at Arch Rock in Joshua Tree National Park. Over 100 exposures of 30 seconds each. I love making these, but they are a little time consuming when you’re out there and it starts getting chilly…

Sunset and moonrise at Joshua Tree National Park. Experiencing the colour of this sunset was just amazing so I had to take this photo even though there wasn’t really a specific foreground element.

Arch rock with moon in Joshua Tree National Park. I’m not sure why they didn’t name this Elephant Rock instead of just Arch Rock because it sure does resemble an elephant.
