<p>Bryce Canyon 6/14/2016, shot with Canon 50D using 24-105 zoom in late afternoon.</p><div></div>

<p>A mountain goat made a rare mid-day appearance while we were there.</p><div></div>
-
<p>This formation is known as the Checker Board and is common in the area</p><div></div>

<p>Zion National Park has many beautiful and varied rock formations and is certainly worth a visit. All three of these shots were taken with a Canon 50D using a 24-105 zoom handheld.</p><div></div>

<p>The little line going out the middle of the picture is the Bright Angel Trail, which winds it's way all the way to the river. The point you see is 6 miles into the hike. We didn't get that far.</p><div></div>
-
<p>The confluence of the Colorado and Little Colorado rivers.</p><div></div>

<p>No fireworks in these, but a very grand American scene. We went to the Grand Canyon in early June. The first two were taken out the window of a helicopter. The last was taken while hiking on the Bright Angel Trail.</p><div></div>

<p>Many of the rock formations get names</p><div></div>

<p>Frank Lloyd Wright Chapel</p><div></div>

<p>Sedona, Arizona is famous for it's red rock formations. All shot with Canon 50D using a 24-105 zoom.</p><div></div>

<p>Later the same day, no longer on the Blue Ridge Parkway, taken from Ceasar's Head overlook, temperature back to 60's F.</p><div></div>
-
<p>It also started to snow while we were up there taking pictures.</p><div></div>
-
<p>May 5, 2016 we were up on the Blue Ridge Parkway when a weather front moved through. The temperature dropped to 32 degrees F. The clouds settled onto the trees causing ice to form on their branches. Spring got a bit of a set back for a couple hours.</p><div></div>
-
<p>A few miles down the road an overlook provided a great view of the canyon carved out by Little River</p><div></div>
-
<p>I would have thought the water was still a bit too cool for swimming, but apparently these boys didn't think so.</p><div></div>

<p>Why is it that the Nikon Wednesdays get more activity than Canon Thursday?<br> Last week we visited Little River Canyon just south of Ft. Payne, AL, USA. Shots were taken with a Canon 50D using 24-105 zoom. </p><div></div>

<p>We went back to Cloudland Canyon State Park near the hang gliding park in April to see the waterfall, and other scenery of the area.</p><div></div>
-
<p>The barely visible white dot near the center of the picture is the windsock at the field where they land.</p><div></div>
-
<p>Back in January I drove over to the Lookout Mountain Flight Park - a hang gliding launch location. Just looking at the downslope of the launch pad is scary.</p><div></div>
-
<p>Finally, a new Cayman GT4 Clubsport. Unfortunately, this particular car crashed later in the race, and no longer looked nearly as nice as it does here.</p><div></div>
-
<p>Next up was probably the fastest car on the track for the weekend, a GT3RS from the Flying Lizard team</p><div></div>
-
<p>The first weekend in April Peachstate PCA held it's annual club races. In addition, Porche Club of America held it's inaugural Cayman GT4 Clubsport race. It was a fun weekend, and there were lots of terrific looking race cars, old and new, to be seen.</p><div></div>

<p>Same setup second group of three</p><div></div>
-
<p>No special portrait equipment available, so a couple of lamps, and flash for fill, taken with a wall as background. It would have been nice to have a screen of some kind for more uniformity, and more lighting. Results show a bit of shadow that could probably be taken out with post processing. I found out just how hard it is to get three young girls to be still even when they are your granddaughters.</p><div></div>
