A view illuminated by a near full moon looking down specialized train tracks that are used for positioning the 27 independent radio antennae into position at the Very Large Array near Socorro, New Mexico. This is where the movie Contact was based. This is also really a fantastic place to visit.
A few Sandhill Cranes prepare to land into a pool where they will spend the evening resting at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico.
A feeding flock of Snow Geese takes flight after being scared from the cornfield at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. Often it’s a coyote that spooks them or other predators. While not equal in flock size to the morning fly out, these “fright flights” are an impressive spectacle in and of themselves.
The Sand-Angel that i made in White Sands, New Mexico. White Sands is such a beautiful place to visit, and the sand is nice and cool. Taken on 12/17/07. I think this might make a beautiful Card for any time of the year. :) Please visit my other White Sands pictures. :)

Credit to Henri Cartier-Bresson for my title. I’ve been wanting to get an image with the wingtips just barely on the water since the first year I went to Bosque, finally this year it happened for me and I was able to capture “the decisive moment.”

This is a 15 minute exposure of star trails above one of the main pools at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. I took this when it first looked fully dark outside and I was still able to catch color from the remains of the earlier sunset. The color is as it came out of the camera with noise reduction applied. I was amazed at my luck in catching an Iridium flare! “Iridium flares”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_flare are brilliant glints or flares created on predictable intervals by the constellation Iridium communication satellites interacting with the sun. You can tell the hotter stars by their streak’s blue color, with cooler ones coming in more red. What amazed me is that star trails would come in this good so soon after sunset. I attribute the nearly new moon and the low light pollution of this area in New Mexico. This was taken at ISO 400 at 28mm f/2.8 utilizing long-time exposure noise reduction in camera and further selective noise reduction via Neat Image in post.

Loretto Chapel Stairs is the 4th painting in a series called “Americana” When the Loretto Chapel was completed in 1878, there was no way to access the choir loft twenty-two feet above. Legend says that to find a solution to the seating problem, the Sisters of the Chapel made a novena to St. Joseph, the patron saint of carpenters. On the ninth and final day of prayer, a man appeared at the Chapel with a donkey and a toolbox looking for work. Months later, the elegant circular staircase was completed, and the carpenter disappeared without pay or thanks. After searching for the man (an ad even ran in the local newspaper) and finding no trace of him, some concluded that he was St. Joseph himself, having come in answer to the sisters’ prayers. The staircase has two 360 degree turns and no visible means of support. Also, it is said that the staircase was built without nails – only wooden pegs. The construction is still a mystery to experts today. The original painting is 22×30” and painted on 140 lb Arches watercolor paper – available by contacting the artist. Giclee reproductions are available in several sizes.
