Take Off of a Swainson's Hawk

Traveling the 4x4 roads north of the Great Salt Lake in Utah is an adventure. You come across a plethora of wild birds and critters. I photographed this hawk who sat on a fence post watching me create some landscape photographs of the lake. When I turned my attention to him, he decided that the interest had dissipated and he was “out here”. Made for a good “exit” photograph

Crooked Canyon Wyoming

The southwest corner of Wyoming seems like the badlands of America. It’s high plateau deserts are dry and the rock formations show the historical depositional environment. Stopping off and exploring this area is fun, especially in the cooler months of spring. Crooked Canyon is a great place to stop and saunter through exploring the geology, fauna and flora of the region.
