Moonlit Silhouette

The rising moon silhouettes a woman sitting on the edge of Utah's Bryce Canyon National Park.

White Flower

I like the delicate petals of this white wildflower -- or perhaps it's a weed -- found growing in South Carolina. There were no others like it nearby.

Peek-A-Boo

This horse appears to be peeking between the fence boards around his pasture. Or maybe he was checking me out because he had never seen me before.

The Rock With Wings

Located in northwestern New Mexico, this towering (7,177 feet) monadnock rises from the high desert plains of the Navajo Nation. (A monadnock is an isolated rock formation or small mountain that rises suddenly from a level surrounding plain.) In the Navajo language, it is known as the 'rock with wings.'

The jagged formation is all that remains of the throat of an ancient volcano. It and nearby lands have great religious and cultural significance to the Navajo.

Honor Guard

This young soldier is one of two honor guards stationed just outside the walls of the Moscow Kremlin, near the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and an eternal flame, in the Alexander Garden. The memorial is dedicated to the Soviet 8.5 millions to 11.5 million Soviet military who died during World War II.

A changing of the guard ceremony takes place every hour around the clock.
