I snapped this picture while in the Jefferson County Arboretum in Madison, WI. last month. We were taking in all the beautiful blooming magnolias trees and turned around to see some wild turkeys. The sun started showing off their magnificent colors!

I caught this photo of this magnificent bird visiting the pond, I assume looking for an early dinner. He changed his plans, however, when he spotted me.

Photo taken on April 30, 2017 at sunset after a dreary day of rain overlooking the Ka'anapali Beach on Maui, Hawaii. I liked the intensity of colors in the sky along with dark silhouettes in the foreground.

I took this interesting pic in a state park just south of Sedona, AZ, during a hike. The view is looking south, showing a blooming cactus, while in the background can be seen the iconic red cliffs of the Sedona area. Cactus flowers were blooming the first week of May this year there, and were beautiful, in the desert landscape.
