Recent Pictures: Nature's Bonzai

Since more than a month ago, I've been travelling with Luke from Urbana, Illinois to my current location of Berkeley, California.  In between we've visited: Denver, Rocky Mountain National Park, Garden of the Gods (in CO, not IL), Canyonlands & Bryce Canyon in Utah and Yosemite.

In Denver, I also finally took the plunge and bought a DSLR camera.  I have a film camera I really like and have been avoiding digital, but film developing prices keep rising and the quality is continually unsatisfying.  Until I get a darkroom of my own, I think I'll primarily shoot digital.

Here's a picture of what I ended up getting:
Nikon D5100
The pictures I took after Denver at Canyonlands, Bryce Canyon, and Yosemite I've added to an album I call Nature's Bonzai.  So many alpine-wind-blown trees, miniatures in size from the harsh conditions.  Rocks sculpted by wind, water, and time to form majestic testaments to the forces of nature.
