VIEWS OF TRANQUILITY COMPASS BARREL CACTUS (FEROCACTUS CYLINDRACEUS) It was a cool August

It was a cool August summer morning when I arrived at the trailhead to Bierstadt Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park

The South Fork Kishwaukee River meanders slowly through the park as it picks up the reflections of its surroundings at Wildflower Park

The Mogollon Rim is an escarpment that runs east and west through the middle of Arizona

A great blue heron remains motionless waiting for an easy meal to swim by while standing on some branches in the fox river in Northern Illinois

VIEWS OF TRANQUILITY COMPASS BARREL CACTUS (FEROCACTUS CYLINDRACEUS) It was a cool AugustA majestic view of a calm and clear Mills Lake, as the early morning sunlight begins touching the roof tops of the peaks on this August morning. I like how clear the lakes are on calm days up at this elevation as the reflections are cast onto Mills Lake which adds even more beauty to a beautiful and majestic scene. (677 2909)
