Desert Sunset

Imagine yourself surrounded by warm, dry air, holding still for a moment, just watching the sun go down.

Golden Grass

Golden grass, yellow sunshine
surrounded by blue sky
Run! Spin! Look! Smell!

Wildflowers and Mountains, Final 5 & 6

Above the treeline the flowers are smaller.

Wildflowers and Mountains, 3 and 4

Two more where the colors are better in the originals. I like the path in the first one, but all the cool purple flowers overlap with the most complicated part of the background. The mountains, with the rich red color (coming from iron on the exposed rocks), are nice in the second.

Wildflowers and Mountains, Take 2

So this was another attempt at wildflowers in the foreground and mountains in the background. The compression on picassa has made some of the colors a little odd, but this showed me how much easier it was to get an impressive sense of 'flowers' if the flowers were really dense. Which meant that they had to be yellow rather than purple because the yellow flowers were just much thicker.

A Hike in the Mountains

I was trying to get a picture of the wildflowers in the foreground, with a sense of the mountain-scape in the background. I don't think I've quite succeeded. I'll put up more attempts in the next couple of days (trying to get back into the habit).
