A long, long drive to Monument Valley to photograph in Monument Valley, timed for when a shodow of the West Mitten falls exactly upon its Eastern counterpart. Also, a stop at the Grand Canyon on the way back. See write-ups in 'Photo of the Month' section.

Back from Iceland. A great trip, though more expensive than anticipated owing to an unintended interaction between our rental car with only 3 inch clearance under the transmission and a 3 1/2 inch high rock. I have now finished uploading most of the photos. A few favorites are below, but please visit the new Icelandic galleries to view the full selection.

April, 2009
A selection of photos from a weekend trip to Joshua Tree National Park. This is an annual visit, when I take graduate students from my neuroscience lab course out for the day to celebrate the end of the class and introduce them to rock climbing. Afterward, I stayed overnight, and spent a cold night in front of a Joshua tree taking star circle photos, followed by a contemplative morning watching hummingbirds feed on ocotillo blooms. Go to the Joshua Tree gallery for more photos.

SSpring Break trip to N. Arizona. Had booked a permit for 3 days at S. Coyote Buttes in advance, and was lucky to get a permit for The Wave at the walk-in lottery. In light of how difficult it is to gain access to The Wave, I was surprised at how short a time visitors spent there. Everyone was gone by 3:00pm, and I had the place to myself for evening photos. I was glad to have a GPS with me for the return journey in fading light. Although navigation TO the Wave is straightforward, it can be remarcably difficult to navigate back to the saddle leading off the plateau.

Christmas 2008
Camping trip to Nevada and Utah. A big winter strom and heavy snowfall restricted travel, and we detoured for a second visit to Little Finland on the way out to let the weather settle. Stayed mostly in the forest outside Zion, with a one day excursion to Bryce. Snow was too deep to do much other than hike along roeds or well trodden trails.
December 2008
A most remarkable day at Joshua Tree National Park. A strong winter storm had left the Park covered in snow, fantastical whispy clouds and sundogs filled the sky, and a spectacular sunset to end.
