Glacier National Park, 2012

Landscape and Nature Photography from Glacier National Park, taken in August 2012.

A sticky purple geranium (Geranium viscosissimum) as found in Glacier National Park. I came home with hundreds of wildflower photos from this shoot and had a hard time deciding which to display. In the end, the wonderful pink-to-purple color and symmetry of the geranium's petals won out. They can be found by the hundreds along the many hiking trails in Glacier. Take the time to stop and see them.

$Streambed near Swiftcurrent Lake (Fluid Refraction). <br /> <br /> A woodland stream under dappled sunlight stopped me in my tracks, and inspired me to sit for a while and contemplate the quicksilver patterns of reflected and refracted light dancing over the colorful stones of the alluvial stream-bed. I was fascinated at how many things were at work in that little patch of sunlight -- optics, geology, hydrodynamics, thermodynamics. I couldn't help but be humbled at the complexity of our universe being displayed with such elegant beauty.$
