Aspen Trees

We flew to Aspen, Colorado to go skiing with some friends.  It was a perfect, sunny (yet cold) day, and the sun was slowly setting when I took this picture.  January 2010

Sand Formation

Wind and sand made this beautiful, rare formation!  This is another picture from my White Sands National Park collection.  I'll say it one more time and that's it... promise...  GO VISIT WHITE SANDS.  It's just gorgeous.

Sun Dog

Not everyday do you see something like this... It's a rainbow (some call it a halo) around the sun... a full circle.  Meteorologists call it a 23.5 Degree Halo or Sun Dog.  They say it happens when light travels through high Cirrus clouds made of ice crystals.  As soon as I saw it I grabbed my camera.  I sent my picture to a local news station, and it made the evening news.  How exciting.
