This picture is from July, but up there? July is spring. So now is a perfect time of the year to imagine (or, if you're lucky, experience) some soft sunlight with the blooms swaying in the wind...

Captured by me in Wyoming, "By Jackson Lake".

Oh, to touch that beach again...*sigh* maybe someday. Taken at Shelter Cove, on California's incomparable Lost Coast: "Black Sand, Kiss Me Home".

We associate deserts with heat, but as the ice suggests at bottom right, it was chilly that day, but that only makes the stark beauty of these red rocks all the more impressive. You can practically see "Whispers in the Wind"...

Taken by yours truly at Arches National Park, Utah.

Like something out of those prehistoric reconstructions...only it's real, taken last year in California! But then again, the coast does have a way of making time seem like it truly is relative...

Taken in Ventura last August: "Sunset in the Lost World".

Sunsets just hit differently, "At The Shores of Dreams". Taken by me on Hermosa Beach one February evening.
