New Dinosaur National Monument Photos

The placid Green River enters the imposing canyon, known as the Gates of Lodore, beginning its tumultuous journey through the canyon where it will join the Yampa River in Dinosaur National Monument, Colorado.

We have new Dinosaur National Monument photos. These photos have been added to our post about the National Monument. While updating the post, we reorganized all the photos around specific areas in the monument.  Dinosaur is full of geologic and scenic wonders. Be sure to put it on your bucket list of places to go before you are too feeble to make the trip.

We have added new  photographs to our Bosque del Apache portfolio.

In December, we had another wonderful visit to Bosque del Apache. Our timing was just right, because there were tens of thousands of Snow geese and Greater Sandhill cranes.

We were especially lucky to catch some spectacular take-offs, beautiful sandhill plumage, and hovering harriers — as well as an assortment of ducks. Take a look at the new photographs.

We just posted new photographs taken in Nebraska this last fall. Yellow grasses, sage, and warm light gave the prairie a special glow that captured our imagination. We could almost see pioneers crossing this sea of grass on their way to Oregon.

Some of our favorites spots include Scotts Bluff National Monument, Fort Robinson State Park, and the wacky Carhenge.

Take a look at the photographs.

We just posted new photographs taken in the Black Hills of South Dakota this last fall. The yellow-leaved trees added sparkle to the brooding, dark, pines trees.

Some of our favorites spots include Sylvan Lakes, Wind and Jewel Caves, and the Wildlife Loop in Custer State Park.

Take a look at the photographs.
