Lonely Snow Covered Trees at the Grand Canyon

by Kristi Hines on February 16, 2012

For a while here in Arizona, I thought we had escaped the winter with several days in the 70′s. But that changed this Tuesday (Valentine’s Day) when it dropped back to a chilly temp. Chilly for us in Phoenix at least. In tribute, I decided to post something wintry.

The Laughing Camel

by Kristi Hines on February 9, 2012

There’s nothing like catching an animal at the right time, kind of like this shot of a camel who looks like he just heard a great joke…

Inside an Icy Mossy Cave

by Kristi Hines on February 2, 2012

While the name of this cave is Mossy Cave, it really should be re-named the Icy Cave in the winter. It was full of lovely ice formations. The challenge was getting close enough to shoot inside, as the ground next to the railing was also covered in ice.

A Turtle in the Park

by Kristi Hines on January 26, 2012

I love how random things in life happen. This photo was taken while strolling through a local park where we found a turtle just hanging out in the grass. No idea how he (or she) got there.

While exploring Escalante, we found a long abandoned, wrecked vehicle.

Frozen Waterfall

by Kristi Hines on January 12, 2012

I’ve seen some interesting waterfalls, but never a frozen one. I wish I had gotten a nice perspective shot of it – it was probably about ten feet high! This was off of the Mossy Cave Trail in Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah.

Inside a Slot Canyon

by Kristi Hines on January 4, 2012

Over the holiday, I got to experience my first slot canyon. I really didn’t get my husband’s enthusiasm about them (he has a nice collection of slot canyon photos) until I went through one myself. By the end of our trip, we had went through three and I figured out why he loved them so much! This was a shot inside the first one.

Morning Snack

by Kristi Hines on December 22, 2011

This photo is from last year’s trip to the Grand Canyon. As we were driving into the park, we saw this guy just grazing on the tree. We stopped the car on the side of the road and jumped out to get photos. He didn’t seem to mind as he was busy snacking!

Overlooking the Snowy Bright Angel Trail

by Kristi Hines on December 14, 2011

I have to admit, I’m usually not enthused about the cold or being up early in the morning. But being at the Grand Canyon early on a foggy day when you only get a few glimpses from the rim can pay off at the right moments.

It Was Blue Hour…

by Kristi Hines on December 9, 2011

This shot was taken around blue hour, but thanks to a messed up white balance, it looked like pink hour. I’m a fan of infrared photography, and so far this is the closest I’ve gotten to that same affect.
