This is the third time I’ve shot this group of orchids, the first being when it broke out into bloom with a solitary flower. But now there are six, and I’ve finally taken a couple of images that I’m happy with.

Six hour hike / snowshoe climb to the summit on the La Luz trail.

The weather has been without drama for the past several weeks and the last several road trips did not yield any photos, although not for the lack of trying. So while working on a new gallery of wildflowers I was tweaking the color settings when I decided to get a bit radical because of the so much of this image had blue tones. I thought it was interesting to see how the yellow was unaffected.
Spring is on it’s way in New Mexico, but because of the weather patterns we are afraid the mountain will close due to drought again until the Monsoon season starts sometime in July.
Bit out of sequence, since I should post an article about my daughter’s film showing on Friday nite, but the photos are not as good as the story, so I’m posting from our Saturday jaunt on the Manhattan Beach.
There was a big wind and I took about 20 minutes to try and get a couple of shots I liked.
These are not bad seeing as how I’m using my wife’s new replacement pocket camera since my Nikon travel lens decided to quit last night in the middle of my daughter’s show. I brought it along for the show and the grand daughter’s birthday which was the next day, Sunday.
I picked the travel camera because it did have a fully manual function and reviewed well. My travel camera has bit the dust, the lens got full of dirt and it’s not worth the repair costs since the manufacturer (Panasonic) won’t cover the dirt as a warranty item. Don’t buy Lumix.
Success here in my opinion.
Ok, so it takes a while sometimes to get them posted – but this is the best of Tuesday morning as the moon was setting over Mt. Taylor, about 70 miles west of where I live.
