I love shadows…and I love rock.  They are the tools of which art is made.

The rich colors and the deep shadows in this photo were created by nature.  I was just the witness that passed it along to you.  Monument Valley, Arizona/Utah

I love photographing small mammals, and I have made more pix of the Thirteen-lined Ground Squirrel than any other.  In this region, Illinois Beach State Park North reigns supreme for photo opportunities.  Northern Wisconsin has a small population of the Six-lined version of this animal.   Superstitious I guess.
