I've Moved!

Long time, no type! For years, I poured my heart into the photography blog that used to be here, hoping to inspire others to explore the magic of southern Utah - a place that captured me from the moment I first set foot in it nearly 40 years ago. That passion eventually led to a career in tourism promotion, where I got to help others experience the region safely and smartly. I loved it - but the creative energy the job demanded often left me too drained to keep my personal blog alive. Now, I’m fully retired and back behind the lens with a renewed love for both photography and the desert Southwest. Not a bad place to be! Looking back, the desert has shaped nearly every chapter of my life - and like a lot of retired guys, I’ve got stories and lots of pretty pictures. I thought I’d share a few. Nothing too profound - just favorite moments, captured through My Desert Lens. Come take a look at my new blog... mydesertlens.com

Gallery: Bryce Canyon National Park

Bryce is best known for its spectacular sandstone spires, called hoodoos, located deep within a natural sandstone amphitheater. Numerous trails descend to the bottom of the amphitheater and transport you into a fantastic city of stone. Because Bryce transcends 2000 feet (650 m) of elevation, the park exists in three distinct climatic zones: spruce/fir forest, Ponderosa Pine forest, and Pinyon Pine/juniper forest. This diversity of habitat allows you to enjoy over 100 species of birds, dozens of mammals, and more than a thousand plant species.
