Naked Ladies are naked . . . of leaves. The flowers appear, and die off, and then the leaves appear. A member of the amaryllis family, they are a lovely seasonal bulb for the garden.

Day’s End
Minarets Vista was a stone’s throw from our stay in Mammoth Lakes in August. Too lazy to get up at sunrise, ready to get there by sundown!
Sunset at Minarets Vista
Sunset and sunrise are the hardest images to work on in post – contrast issues, color issues, detail issues. My own monitors vary in color quality – I have one that always veers to over-saturation, so I use the other to attempt to reach some semblance of what I saw / see (not see-saw, see?) or want to evoke. The colors on this monitor are more subdued and not overdone, but I always wonder if the results are any good. That’s the problem, I guess, with cheap monitors. And, I am too cheap to replace them . . .
Into the Sun
The top of a mountain, surrounded by mountains; sunset comes quickly and the light gathers, flares, and fades away.
A View from the Owens Valley, BW
The same view from a few days earlier, in B&W. I think I like this one better.
