  • This particularly spiky fishhook cactus (also known as a barrel cactus) is common in the Four Corners region where Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah meet. What is interesting about this cactus is that it is a xerophyte - which means it is extremely tough in extreme environments, and can withstand long periods of time with little to no water in the blistering summer heat of the high desert in summer, and the deep freeze of winter. If you look closely, you can see where a scorpion has dug a burrow under this one, high on the plateau north of Moab, Utah.

  • High on the plateau north of Moab, Utah, this extremely feisty and aggressive little Beck's desert scorpion was found under a shaded rock on a hot summer day at the far northeastern end of its range. I had to consult a professional arachnologist for the correct ID of this species as far too many of these small desert species look very similar.

  • Eastern Washington's iconic Palouse Falls is a 198-foot waterfall on the Palouse River which empties into the Snake River. These ancient basalt cliffs were created by lava and ground down by massive glaciers.

  • Massive panoramic view of Southern Utah's Bryce Canyon with its hundreds upon hundreds of hoodoos and other wild sandstone rock formations. In fact - while every continent on Earth has these hoodoos, nowhere in the world has as many as there are right here, in Bryce Canyon National Park! This massive print is at full natural size a whopping 9.75 feet x 3.6 feet (3m x 1.1m) and was created from twelve images. So large in fact that you can see the individual branches on every tree!
