Out along the Oregon coast I have seen quite a few nice sunsets that end with a deeply saturated glow just before darkness takes over. Those have been quite rare where I live but a couple of nights ago the pieces fell in place for me to capture a nice one for this 3 panel panorama shot at 70mm...

Fun shot - I like this composition.

I wasn't doing full timing but I did keep my 25' RV for 8 years before selling it off. I honestly don't miss mine at all at this point.

Thanks John - the view of Arch Canyon isn't exactly what you would call a very accessible location and the best way I can describe it is to say that you won't have trouble finding a parking spot near the loosely defined trailhead. @MonikaC had to do some rock crawling in her FJ to get us there...

I like how you handled the B&W for this one - very nice range of tones for this view.

Arch Canyon from Lewis Lodge: Palouse River Stormy Day at the Goosenecks Lower Antelope Canyon: Echo Canyon in Zion National Park: Columbia River Gorge:

Interesting bloom and curious textures on the petals. Nice isolation.

I have two freshly emptied raised garden beds and am shopping around for blooms that will attract birds and bugs and this one popped up :)

Thanks Trent - I have been seeing them in my garden for quite a while but never photographed and ID'ed them before.

I just ran across an article in Birds & Blooms that describes Bee Balm as a hummingbird magnet. There are several cultivars of this plant besides Scarlet including Fireball, Colrain Red, and Marshall's Delight.

Very nice collection of canyons John - and another fine topic for our collective archive excursions :)

Very nice - This is true of a lot of the trails and waterfalls in the Gifford Pinchot forest. Few people venture more than about 1/4 mile from a parking lot which makes it nice for everyone who is willing to walk. Neat view of these falls.

I miss the area at the top of the trail looking like this prior to the Eagle Creek fire. Very nice exposure for Wahclella falls and the forest.
