Who’s afraid of the big Badlands? Not me and Steve! 
How about big ungulates? No problem! 
Or big dinosaur bones?
And big rocks? The bigger the better, and more beautiful than a camera frame can take in. 
And all these big, bold, wonderful things can be found in our National Parks. Preserving them is our biggest, best idea ever.
Thanks, Tina, for this Lens Artist challenge!

And it is!
Indeed!
Well said, beautifully captured. Loved your response this week!
Thanks, Tina – and thanks for your hospitality and leadership on this challenge.
These are impressive captures!!
Thanks!
I love that dinosaur skull! 🙂
Equally impressive at Dinosaur National Monument is the semi-excavated quarry wall, with a literal log-jam of dinosaur bones! Thanks for visiting my blog!
They are beautiful.
Very lovely captures 🙂
Thank you! I appreciate your visit.
A proper and gorgeous festival of leaves. ❤
Yes, it’s like that around here. I’m grateful to be able to see it and share it!
WOW! to that top photo.
We’d been in the car for 10 hours; Steve gets out and goes right down to that spot. I tried to follow, but my legs were a bit wobbly and the steep little trail was so crumbly, that I could just picture myself falling right down the cliff. So I contented myself with just taking his picture looking at that view.
