Last Saturday in the late afternoon we were surprised by this immature male Ruby-throated Hummingbird. He came in, briefly sampled flowers from my Cape Honeysuckle, then disappeared. Anne quickly put-up feeders hoping for his return but to no avail.

It had been several months since we had seen a hummer here on North Padre Island. And we have not seen another since this one passed through.

I feel fortunate to have been in position to capture this beautiful bird.

Nice work Bubba!

On top the rocks at Willow Lake. A bit off trail, climbing up rocks with a bit of vertigo. Nothings changed from childhood, going places I shouldn't. I felt this one when I had climb down in the dark and trying to find the trail. My knee's are screaming at me today "act your age". Something I have been told my entire life.


NICE!!

Here are a few of the various landscape shots I was able to get while on our fishing/road trip to North Dakota....so much fun and a freezer full of walleye ... so very successful fishing trip!

We drove from Columbia Falls MT to Lewistown MT and stayed for the night, then made it to Ft Peck reservoir for a week or so, then drove to Lake Sakakawea for a week or so. Did some traveling around North Dakota and then stopped at Tiber Reservoir for a couple of days.

Fun adventure! Lots of photo's to go thru but here is a start.

The equipment taken for a photo trip, 6 quick response bags with cameras and lenses, two backpacks with a Gigapan in one and various filters in the other, a PhaseOne carry case with P20+ back, and film backs for a Hasselblad 500C. One of the cameras is the 500C with an H907x back. Finally, an Arca-Swiss 4x5 and tripod.

how much time do you have? What are you driving? Just looking at a Rand McNally Road Atlas you could make a nice loop going thru Denver, RMNP, west to Dinosaur Natl.Mon., then up thru the Tetons, Yellowstone, to Glacier. Return via Portland to the Oregon coast, then south along the coast, inland to Crater Lake, down along the Sierras to Reno and Lake Tahoe, east on US 50 to Lehman Cave, Great Basin NP, to Bryce Canyon NP, then south to GCNP North Rim. Then thru Monument Valley to Canyonlands and Arches, east to Mesa Verde NP, Taos, Santa Fe, White Sands NP, Carlsbad Caverns NP, then home. So many nice places you should see; I've been to all except Taos, White Sands, and Carlsbad, and all are worth the time it takes to visit. Shouldn't take more than a couple months and $10k for gasoline.

From Denver, go to Golden, CO and then Highway 93 North a couple of miles to Golden Gate Canyon road. Golden Gate Canyon to Highway 119 (Peak To Peak Highway) to Estes Park, CO. From Estes Park, go to RMNP and take the dirt Fall River Road to the top of Trail Ridge Road. Easily done in a car. Far more beautiful than the paved road to the top.

About half way up Golden Gate Canyon, stop at the Visitor Center and see the pond loaded with huge trout.

DENNIS , will do for sure thanks for the information.

If you are going to do Grand Canyon north or south rim, dont forget Page , Arizona area with both Horseshoe Bend on the Colorado River, and Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon .

Horseshoe Bend is a 3/4 mile hike out , and then back to the parking lot.

Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons are less walking. Both bucket-list places for any photographer.

And of course famed Monument Valley on Arizona/Utah border.

Cheers


Awesome photos, they will be on the list for sure.
Thank you

I recommend the National Bison Range, north of Missoula, Montana, on highway 93, near Ravalli. As I remember it, there is a one-way, loop road, not paved, and lots of wildlife.


Bob, I’ll check it out. Thank you

Columbia River GorgeYou do not say what month you are traveling. There area a series of three waterfalls near Multomah Falls; all situated along the Historic Columbia River Highway which parallels i-84/US-30 right next to the Columbia River.

From West to East the are Bridal Veil Falls, Multomah Falls, and Horsetail Falls. Multomah Falls has a parking lot accessible directly from I-84 however you cannot get (to my knowledge) from this parking lot to the old highway.
The old highway will not accommodate a wide RV or a long trailer and it gets VERY narrow in spots.

Also during the summer months, Multomah Falls is jam packed ( we visited in March 2022) and reservations may be needed. The other two falls had far less traffic.

The Historic Columbia River Highway is a 7-8 mile long stretch with entry and exit points to I-84 at both ends. Multomah Falls is located ~30 miles East of Portland.

Other sites:
Dinosaur National Monument: This has a wonderful little office by the parking lot what has a stupendous and little known follis display. Sometimes a range will be working on newly found fossils in the central room.

Yellowstone Nat'l Park: A gem with something for everyone. My favorite location is Mammoth Hot Springs and the
Travertine Falls. Light is best just before sunrise or else in the latter part of the afternoon and evening when the sun is not directly hitting the white and variegated calcium carbonate. This is a living area and it changes every year as springs dry up and new springs open up. Color is from mineral deposition and some mosses. Of course Yellowstone can be busy but the hot springs are far from Old Faithful. Gardiner, MT is nearly with many eateries and motel rooms. Livingston, MT is 50 miles to the North and right on I-80. A newish Fairfield Inn & Suites is located there and there are a couple of good steak houses (Montana's Ribs & Chop House).

The Palouse: This agricultural area glows in the spring. I think the favorite vantage point is StepToe Butte south of Spokane.

Upper North Falls @ Silver Falls State Park: waterfalls with not too long of a hike. ~ 30-40 miles ease of Salem, OR.

Glacier Nat'l Park: Going-to-the-Sun RoadP now requires a timed entry ticket. IO think the tickets are good for three days. More info on the link.

Oregon Coast: Sea Stacks near Bandon, OR.

North California Coast: Giant Redwoods just south of the Oregon Border. closest town in Klamath, CA to the North and Trinidad, Mckinleyville, Arcata, & Eureka to the South.

Lassen Volcano Nat'l Park: Along and about a quarter of the way between Redding, CA and Reno, NV on California Hwy 44. I have not visited yet, but will be in June on my way to see the grandkids in Redmond, WA. Hot Springs among other attractions.

Yosemite Nat'l Park/Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks: Summer will be packed. Park entry Requires Reservations May 30th - Sept 30th. See the link.
