We had a nearby wildfire tonight and it made for a spectacular "Blood" moon.

Day 224, 2013 - Goblin Valley

Back from my Goblin Valley photo trip. Editing photos and catching up for the last few days while I was gone.

Continued... Day 224

The Goblins are very interesting as they really color shift as the light changes. At times they are brown, a pastel pink brown, and sometimes very reddish.

More Goblins

Do you think I can make it? She did, but if she hadn't I would have caught that too.

Continued... Goblin Valley Milky Way

Wow! The difficulty in getting this shot. Normally, the clouds are clear and the night air perfect. However, the Goblin Gods were against me and I fought over two nights to get this one shot. In spite of all the challenges, I got the shot and here it is.

Day 225, 2013 - Goblin Valley Bonsai

While technically not a true Bonsai, this little desert shrub has all the character of a true Bonsai and the battle scars of an extremely difficult environment.

Day 226, 2013 - Goblin Valley Scorpion

This one was shot somewhere around one in the morning. I was, as mentioned earlier, battling with the Goblin Gods to give me clear skies to shoot the Milky Way and they denied me. To save the night I went in search of the creepy crawlies of the desert night. I found PLENTY, most of it deadly. My favorite was this scorpion. Its actual size was 1.5 inches/3.81 cm long so using the 40mm macro lens I cuddled up super close and convinced him to say "cheese."

Day 227, 2013 - Blood Moon

More fires and another beautiful moon picture. The smokey haze seems to do a beautiful job at cutting down the intensity of the light and brings out more detail.
