Fun at 50! (mm that is)

First, let me apologize for my absence.  Work seems to be getting in the way of my photography lately, and I need to get out more.

This past weekend I said enough is enough, and I’m going shooting!  I grabbed my camera and decided to use my 50mm prime lens (which I haven’t used for some time), hopped on the shuttle and went up to the Temple of Sinawava.  It was close to sunset, so light was fading fast and I needed to hurry. East Mesa

I went to look into the Virgin River to capture a rapid or two.

 

Right after sunset, I captured the dramatic sense of how deep Zion Canyon really is.

Heading back to the shuttle, I happen to see a bumble bee buzzing around, so I tried my hand at freestyle macro.  By the way, I’ve never seen a bumble bee look like this, anyone else?

After arriving back at the Lodge, I took this of the Mountain of the Sun.  

Enjoy,

Kelly
