Uinta Night Sky
Despite a very rainy week, I was surprised to find a clear and moonless sky while camping up in the Uinta Mountains over the weekend. The stars up there were amazing and I caught a few photos before clouds rolled in for the rest of the weekend.

Kokanee Salmon in Utah
I went on a visit to Causey Reservoir today and hiked to Skull Crack Canyon where the Kokanee Salmon are currently spawning. It was beautiful with the color of the fish and the changing leaves. Shooting was tricky and I hope to get back again before they are finished running, but here is one shot from the day.

Wheeler Creek Colors
Following up on the heels of the fall colors in Logan Canyon, I headed up to Snowbasin to see what I could find. Still a little early for changing colors up there, but I did get this photo from Wheeler Creek.

The Ogden Pioneer Days Rodeo recently wrapped up. I pulled together a few highlights that I shot for the Standard-Examiner over the last week. This is one of my favorite events to shoot each year. Enjoy.

Searching for Bats

I recently went out with a group of biologists from Utah's Division of Wildlife Resources as they looked for bats on Antelope Island. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the evening and I also made a video that you can watch here.

The small electronic device records bat calls and displays the rhythm and frequencies. By watching the changes in frequencies, biologists are able to tell which species of bats are nearby.
