Playing with Pixels

I’ve moved!

At long last I finally bought hosting so that I could have the freedom to set up my phlog and blog the way I like. Playing with Pixels is now located at http://caryncaldwell.com/photos. The rest of the website will be set up, well, someday, as well as any other little details. If you’ve always used the Feedburner feed, then there’s no need to change. Otherwise, the best RSS feed link to use is http://feeds.feedburner.com/carynsphotos. Please change any and all links accordingly.

Pine Tree Arch

One of my favorite memories from my teenage years was sitting back in this area of Arches National Park with my mom one morning. She asked me where I would be if I could be anywhere right then, and afterward confessed that she would be right where we were.

Watching Coyote

Caryn Caldwell — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 07:01:01 +0000

I love to see coyotes because it feels as if they bring good luck. Although I’ve seen a number of them, both in the mountains and the desert, sightings are so rare that this is the first time I’ve had a chance to take a picture of one. Unfortunately, it was with my zoom lens in a car that, while not moving, was still on.

Mountain Contrast

I had fun playing with this one, adding a whimsical glow to the photo to complement the glowing leaves and add a fairy tale essence.

Even after a killing frost, these mountain flowers retain some of their beauty and grace.

Sunset Spot

One of our favorite things to do is to find new locations in which to watch the sunset. One weekend this summer, my husband and I went out into the desert and enjoyed an evening right here.

One of the last butterflies of the season finds a still-blooming flower for an afternoon snack.

The setting sun creates silhouettes out of juniper trees and fins in Devil’s Garden (at the end of the road in Arches National Park).
