Morrisonite photos

I have finally spent some time catching up on some of my rock abstracts.  This time I have added some Morrisonite photos to my gallery.   Morrisonite is a particular type of jasper found in Oregon's Owyhee desert.   The story has it that it was...

Alaska fall color photos

Sometimes I wonder if I will ever catch up on processing images.   It seems lately I am jumping around between a lot of images from my "unprocessed" folders - from leaves, to Michigan landscapes, to bears, to Alaska scenics.  Some of them many years old and nearly...

Meet Scarface
