This is an image from about a year ago that I took in August while in Grand Teton National Park. Taking photographs of the Cathedral Group of peaks (Teewinot, Grand, and Mount Owen) never gets old. This particular image has the Grand to the left, its highest peak with clouds clinging to it, and Mount…
I realize now that what I could have done better, like not stop and put on another layer so that I could have had a regular spacing of the progression of the moon, but I’m overall pretty satisfied for a first try at a photo like this… and even without any coffee! The eclipse was…
Have you picked out your spot to look at or photograph the blood red moon tomorrow morning before dawn? Trust me, I’ll be worth it. Set you alarms early, have a bag with coffee, food, and warm clothes packed already, and roll out of bed to see it! The moon already looks larger than usual….
Yesterday morning was a low of -25 F and warmed up to -4 degrees, dropped to -20 again last night and now this morning its warmed back up to -15 degrees. Its days like these when the bitterly cold sun is shining that it amazes me how plants and life survives a climate like this!

Little Wildhorse Canyon Walls, originally uploaded by Allie.P. Up until now, I would say this is my favorite campsite I’ve ever been to. While on a geology trip led by a fellow Exxon Geologist, he took to this site where he used to do research. It was a long drive into the middle of nowhere…
Rain Drops on Fall Color, originally uploaded by Allie.P. I took this in Marquette, Michigan after taking a break from field work to turn around for two seconds to snap this picture out of the blue. Sometimes its nice to stop for a section and appreciate the little details. I thought this shot would go…
Fountain Droplets at Sunset, originally uploaded by Allie.P. Sometimes in order to find interesting pictures I find i have to tell myself to stop thinking. On this photo outing to some of the gardens on Michigan State University’s campus, i kept looking for that perfect flower with the perfect light, and it wasnt until i…
