Wildflowers at Hurricane Ridge, Olympic National Park, Washington
Thunderstorm and poppies at sunset, in Montana de Oro State Park, California.  It was really windy when I took this shot, making for a bit of an exposure challenge.  Luckily (?) my D200 was in the shop so I borrowed my friend's D300 (which does much better at ISO 1600).  I also like this image after running it through a Photoshop watercolor filter, too; both images are in this gallery.
An isolated tree along CO 392 that I've often admired on my commute to and from work.
Old church (or so I'm guessing) in Pontotoc, Texas, April 2010.  If you look carefully, you can see the cactus growing out of the top of the building at the upper right corner.
The Shafer Trail in Canyonlands National Park, on New Year's Day, 2009.  I've learned to appreciate days with high, thin clouds; sometimes they catch fire like this just after the sun goes down.  This is a tough spot to photograph in direct light at sunset, as the canyon tends to get lost in deep shadow.  Add the magical snow-covered north slopes of the winter season to the soft pink light and it made for a beautiful few minutes.
Poppies of spring line the doubletrack at sunset in Montana de Oro State Park, California.  My father-in-law and I found this spot earlier in the day.  As luck would have it, a thunderstorm rolled through perhaps 30 minutes before (providing the bright clouds at upper right).  The wind was blowing like crazy, so in the original photo, there was a good deal of blurring.  It's a fine photo, but in the name of artistry and fun, I ran some Photoshop painting filters on it until I had an effect I liked.
Sunset at Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado
Delicate Arch, Utah, in Arches National Park at sunset on New Year's Eve 2008.  I love going to Arches in the winter!  The crowds are gone, the snow in the north shadows is beautiful, and I'd personally rather hike in 30F than 100F.  It had been a pretty hazy day, but around 3:30 the western skies started to clear up, setting up great light for sunset.  Shot on Fuji Velvia 100 4x5 film.
